    This avahi-browse -a command seems to list the same printers multiple times and (even with the --all argument) it leaves out pertinent information that's shown in the screen shot above (like the ip address of the printer it is listing). It amazes me that this "Imagistics fx2100 printer" contains firmware that beats every Linux utility I've seen, when it comes to listing all printers of all brands (that are not even installed, but are providing network printing).

    @Lonniebiz If you don't grep for 'Printer', then you'll get useful info including the IP address. With sed, you can use avahi-browse -t -d local -c -a --resolve | sed -n '/^=.*Printer/,/txt =/p' to select all blocks of lines that pertain to printers. Commented Dec 22, 2020 at 0:13
