I am trying to install a networked printer (Brother HL-L2390DW). The Add Printer dialog finds it without issue, but no means of installing it allows it to work.

I've tried the Brother drivers, IPP driverless, and the brlaser alternative OSS driver.

I found this Redhat bug report that seemed relevant. My /etc/nsswitch.conf file had the following contents:

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

The fix in the linked thread is to add mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return], so I modified the line to be this:

hosts:          files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

Installing the printer worked at this point.
