Hi Tim,

I was not successful to use avahi-resolve:

avahi-resolve --name Lexmark%20E120n._pdl-datastream._tcp.local
Failed to resolve host name
'Lexmark%20E120n._pdl-datastream._tcp.local': Timeout reached

The uri is correct (I got it from system-config-printer by clicking on
the printer symbol), and printing immediately starts after lpr for that
printer. The avahi daemon is running:

ps -edalf|grep avahi
5 S avahi     1199     1  0  80   0 -   840 poll_s 06:46 ?
00:00:00 avahi-daemon: running [eule.local]
1 S avahi     1200  1199  0  80   0 -   796 unix_s 06:46 ?
00:00:00 avahi-daemon: chroot helper


What I'm doing wrong?

Kind regards
