    Solved lpd - lpstat 'The printer is unreachable at this time.'

    Cause: CUPS was configured to use IPv4 addresses. LPD was configured to use domain names. A change to the printer addresses and to DNS allowed LPD to work and broke CUPS. Solution: Reconfigure printers in CUPS to use IPP to printer domain names. OP: I am seeing this in lpstat -p -d -R: #...

    Hi all! I'm using the standard lpd to print. While the print/cups-client combined into print/cups can't use the standard lpd only from commandline.
