Then avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp | grep -B 2 "10.76.172.100" Another 10/10 fot the printing system and the tools it uses. Of course, knowing the queue name in advance would be more desirable and lead to less frustration. -- Brian.

e on port 9100. Check with nmap 10.76.172.100 It would be unusual for the service not to be offered because it dates from the dawn of time and is very simple to implement. There isn't any reliance on avahi-daemon (just TCP/IP) and it works with non-ipp printers. Execute /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp The output should include an IP address and a printer make and model. Thanks to The Wanderer for sparking this thought. -- Brian.

A third way forward: "implicitclass://Canon_LBP351dn_f9_7a_4a_/" is the URI for this printer. Canon_LBP351dn_f9_7a_4a_ is the printer's Service Name. avahi-resolve -n Canon_LBP351dn_f9_7a_4a_.local should give the IP address of the host. -- Brian.

to do the process > in the paragraph above. 'Bout time I brushed up on batch file prep ;} I take it you want to replace (on /dev/sda5) with something like (on LABEL). How about this? e2label will enable matching /dev/sda5 and other devices with a LABEL. Then a script to seach and replace (on /dev/sdaN) with the corresponding LABEL. The script could be run from update-grub and update-grub diverted. This looks like automatic to me. -- Brian.
