Setup printer on one (print server) all good. When I setup the client, it automatically finds the print server, and lists it by the Zeroconf-style local host name i.e. computer.local. When I selected that and tried to print, I got: Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds... If I ignore the automatically found Zeroconf hostname and I type in the IP Address instead, it works perfectly. Something is wrong with how the client printer server uses the Zeroconf hostname.
