YazFi YazFi and possible Bonjour/Airprint problem

[ppaull]

@Jack Yaz I'm reviving this question from the original YazFi thread from awhile ago regarding my Brother printer no longer being able to print via AirPrint/Bonjour after installing YazFi—Macbook connects to it fine, but gets stuck trying to print with "Printer is in use". Back then, I had shared the output of cat /tmp/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf.

Any further ideas to troubleshoot?

Does YazFi alter any router settings that would persist even after disabling JFFS? Because disabling JFFS scripts has no effect, if that helps narrow things down.

There's some nvram settings for client isolation but i can't see why they'd cause this. Are either devices on a YazFi guest network?

No, both the macbook and the printer are on the regular, non-5GHz network.

hm, yazfi shouldn't affect that at all, all firewall rules for yazfi target the guest interfaces

Ok, thanks, that helps me exclude YazFi as a culprit. I'll try reverting to default settings or vanilla ASUS firmware and see if I can narrow down the cause.

that's not to say it doesn,t somehow. unfortunately i dont have any apple equipment or a bonjour enabled printer to test out efficiently

Thanks for helping to the extent you can, though! Even if it's YazFi-related, I should be able to find out by retracing steps. It's just that it's a pain—so many settings.

can you check if reflector in the avahi conf is enabled? i seem to recall patching yazfi to disable it but im not sure off the top of my head. since avahi handles mdns its the only thing i can think of. even then, i dont know why it would cause issues with device naming/printer in use

I'm not sure how to check, but in this post, you concluded that the reflector wasn't enabled, based on the output I posted.
