Well, my printer was autodiscovered and configured via mDNS, so with the mnds4_minimal entry missing, it was not able to resolve the name. I could've gone an manually added it by IP address or a static DNS name but I liked the simplicity of it working "automagically" and I never remember the exact syntax I need and whether to set it up an IPP or HTTP or LPR printer.
I've had issues with the mdns4_minimal entry in the past when accessing work resources over VPN, presumably because we have a .local Active Directory domain at work and mDNS uses .local as well. IIRC I had to move the mdns entry further back in the list to make it work, but that was a few years ago and probably on ubuntu. I never had to mess with it in Fedora until now.
