bpi54 has two printers attached by USB. It also hosts four print queues that work from bpi54 and bpi51. You have a printing system that should continue working until trixie comes along. Then it will fall apart. So why this descent into GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality when you are satisfied with the printing situation? Greg Wooledge's nsswitch.conf line is what would be expected on a machine having avahi-demon.service. You do not have avahi-daemon and libnss-mdns installed. That is fine. A descision has been made to create queues with vendor drivers on bpi54 manually. Your nsswitch.conf line implies libnss-mymacines and libnss-mymhostname are used. They have man pages to help you decide what parts they play on bpi54. What do you have on bpi51? -- Brian.
