      Hi Forum!

      A customer of mine have a PFsense firewall that i administer.
      They have iPads and and printers on separate VLAN-s.
      We used Avahi for Airprint.
      But after change of bootdisk and upgrade to 2.7.2 Avahi won´t work as it should.
      It starts and after a period of 5-15 minutes it stop.

      Can´t find the cause for this issue.
      Anybody that know what´s wrong?
      Log from avahi below.
      Thanks in advance

          Hi..
          No not really.
          For me the soloution was to connect the printer with cable.
          And not use avahi any more.
          Moved the printer to the same vlan as the ipads.
          Propably some issue with the wireless printer.
          Now it seem to work.

            Avahi doesn't know if traffic goes over wires only, or if a part of the path is over Wifi ....

            No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
            Edit : and where are the logs ??
