Mac does not auto select printer driver (Secure AirPrint) sometimes.

Dear All,


we are advertising printers on our server machine using bonjour for Airprint.

We always see the printer in dialog to add printer on mac, however when we select the printer, it fails to auto-select the driver sometimes. (It should be selecting secure airprint) It just fails sometimes and when I do:

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder


Then it works.

There is no problem with discovery part. It just fails to auto-select the driver sometimes however works after running above commands (reinitializing DNS cache). Can you please guide me how to troubleshoot this scenario.

Following is the example txt record that we are sending:


TXT Recrod:


hp639210\ \(hp\ envy\ 4520\ series\)._ipps._tcp.local. 120 IN TXT "txtvers=1" "ty=Generic PostScript Printer" "priority=0" "transparent=T" "binary=T" "pdl=application/pdf,image/urf" "URF=W8,SRGB24,CP255,RS600,DM1" "air=username,password" "rp=/printers/HP639210 (HP ENVY 4520 series)" "note=MSEDGEWIN10" "Color=T" "Duplex=T"

Please ask me in case of any question.


Thanks a lot
