If I then bring the Mac back to my office without rebooting (just sleeping), and the Mac connects to a different wireless network, it will not recognize that the printers are the same as before and add duplicates labled "-1".Video taken from the channel: Rebecca Kahl
(I guess this is so printer sharing can let the printers be shared on the network?) When I bring my Mac, say, from my office (where my printers are) to my home and reboot it, then it will assign the printers to a "xxx.lan" host, where "xxx" is the Mac's network name. Now, I use two different wireless networks, one at my office and one at home. At first it will be a "xxx.local" name, which seems most appropriate. When Printer Sharing is on, then the host for the local printers will change. The Mac does not assign any host name to the printers. When Printer Sharing is off, there is no problem. The reason for this is that I have had trouble installing my printers in Windows under Parallels.
I have Printer Sharing turned on, so that the printers that I have physically connected to my local computer can be used by Parallels with Bonjour for Windows. OK, I've done some investigating and think I know what is going on, though I am still at a loss on how to prevent it. Any thoughts on how to remedy this situation, if my guess indeed is correct? (It would explain why this only happens after I bring my Mac home and then back to my office again.)
I created a network like this a long time ago when I got my Mac in order to wirelessly transfer files.
My guess is now that the Mac wirelessly connects to a peer-to-peer network to my old PC when I bring it home.
I have printer sharing on, in order for the printers to work with Parallels, perhaps this is a factor? So I suppose that on occasion my Mac gives my printers a wrong address and that this causes some internal confusion. And unplugging and replugging the printers in the USB port now does not create duplicates. I then tried to restart the Mac, and now the host name is blank as I suppose it should be. I looked then at Printer Setup (Name & Location) in the Control Panel and discovered that the host name for all my printers was also set to this strange lan address. The printer names had links that led to nowhere, in fact a lan name in common with my old PC (which is not networked to the Mac) so this seemed odd. I investigated this, and found something odd. Interesting, I didn't know about the CUPS administration URL.
