Hi Tim,# apt-get purge cups cups-common cups-daemon # apt-get install cups cups-common cups-daemon If I do this while Wifi connected to AP1, then lpstat on laptop: #lpstat -s no system default destination device for AirPrint_HL_5270DN_Home_golux: implicitclass://AirPrint_HL_5270DN_Home_golux/ device for AirPrint_MP230_golux: implicitclass://AirPrint_MP230_golux/ device for Brother_HL_5270DN_series_golux: implicitclass://Brother_HL_5270DN_series_golux/ device for Canon_MP230_series_golux: implicitclass://Canon_MP230_series_golux/ - all good.If you repeat that purge and install whilst connected to AP0 instead, do you still get the same good lpstat result? That would show it's whatever AP is connected during the starting of CUPS after install that's good rather than some difference between AP0 and AP1 that makes AP1 break things.
No, I get the bad lpstat response.
Another command to try with the different APs is ‘avahi-browse -at’. I'm guessing the local CUPS is also using mDNS/DNS-SD to discover local network things and this may show if it's CUPS having problems, or discovery in general.
While following on from the fresh install on AP0, and still on AP0: # avahi-browse -at + wlp1s0 IPv6 Brother HL-5270DN series @ golux Internet Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 Canon MP230 series @ golux Internet Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 AirPrint HL-5270DN-Home @ golux Internet Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 AirPrint MP230 @ golux Internet Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 Brother HL-5270DN series @ golux Secure Internet Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 Canon MP230 series @ golux Secure Internet Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 golux Remote Disk Management local + wlp1s0 IPv6 Canon MP230 series @ golux UNIX Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 Brother HL-5270DN series @ golux UNIX Printer local + wlp1s0 IPv6 UPNP IPC-D120 - 214492577 Web Site local + wlp1s0 IPv6 UPNP IPC-D120 - 214492577 _psia._tcp local + wlp1s0 IPv6 UPNP IPC-D120 - 214492577 _CGI._tcp local So looks OK. BTW, following your earlier suggestion, I have IPv6 switched off on AP0.
I found a bug in this area, though I don't think it's related. It does suggest this area isn't problem free, though. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=928838
Yes, and I was getting this problem before upgrading the laptop to Debian 10. New bit of info: if I connect to AP1 after being on AP0 and go to an application (Evince), I /can/ print. For each printer I get three listings: for the HL5270DN the AirPrint_HL_5270DN_Home_golux and Brother_HL_5270DN_series_golux ones (as reported by lpstat) are greyed out but an additional HL-5270DN-Home one is available and works.
