=== Enable autodiscovery of network printers ===

Most printers manufactured after 2013 support the [https://www.pwg.org/ipp/everywhere.html IPP Everywhere] protocol, i.e. printing without installing drivers. This is notably the case of all WiFi printers marketed as Apple-compatible ([https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201311 list]).

To detect these printers, add the following to your system configuration:

services.avahi = {

enable = true;

nssmdns = true;

openFirewall = true;

};

</syntaxhighlight>

Discovery is done via the opened UDP port <code>5353</code>. Printers should get automatically detected and visible in your printer configuration client.

Search for other printer drivers in the NixOS package directory: the official list of packages is [https://search.nixos.org/packages here]. Add the driver to {{nixos:option|services.printing.drivers}}, '''not''' {{nixos:option|environment.systemPackages}}.
