Printer fails, no suitable destination host

[bill-lancaster]

Have installed a fresh version of Kubuntu (24.04) and can't get my printer to print

[bill-lancaster]

I should have said:-

  1. It is a network printer

  2. that the scanner works fine.

  3. a windows machine on the same net work prints with no problems

OK, have just seen systemctl status cups-browsed  for the command line.  Here is the result:-

● cups-browsed.service - Make remote CUPS printers available locally
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups-browsed.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
    Active: active (running) since Sun 2025-11-09 07:57:19 GMT; 2h 17min ago
  Main PID: 1436 (cups-browsed)

    CGroup: /system.slice/cups-browsed.service
            └─1436 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed
Don't know what this means

Can anyone help?
