@chockenberry Do you think that could mess up other bonjour devices (HomePods) on the network?

@chockenberry I was wondering if you tried the dnd-sd flag which allows you to advertise *on behalf of* a service that doesn’t support Bonjour. Maybe with the static-ip, you could turn off Bonjour on the printer, but still advertise the printer and scanner’s service manually. If you wanted to try it, look at the -R flag on the man page. Sorry you are having this problem.

@chockenberry wow, that’s bizarre! And I’m one of these people. I’ve learned to just delete and reinstall the printer anytime this happens but it’s interesting to learn the true reason. I’ll be switching mine to a static IP shortly! Thanks. 😊

@chockenberry I’ve struggled with this a few times myself. Time to dig into eero settings and figure out how to convince it that I know what I’m doing…

@chockenberry Whew! Luckily my Canon G6020 is not exhibiting this behavior!!! Thanks for posting so I could check to see that it is okay.

@chockenberry Would assigning the printer a fixed IP address from the router’s DHCP, based on the printer’s MAC address achieve the same effect? Then the printer wouldn’t need its settings altered.

@chockenberry I'm not the only one! I've had my Canon MF743Cdw on a static IP for ages and it still goes offline every few days, my solution was to reboot it nightly, I set up a cron job to do it via curl https://gist.github.com/zenwheel/eadb3adb2488929a2a7ed15f64c57251

@chockenberry Another truly horrible solution to this problem would be to turn its networking off entirely and plug it in to a Raspberry Pi via USB
