    For a second I thought you meant never showed up as in your pihole can’t print to it. I was mildly surprised when my pihole automatically recognized and configured my brother printer on my network. But now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it black holed in my query log either!

      I need to get a pihole… It might not fix my Linux printing situation though. I’m able to print but a big document with a lot of pages will just randomly cancel half through for no reason.

        They’re amazing. I run mine on an Amazon Lightsail instance. $6/mo. or so? I need to bring that back in-house on an old Pi.

        Every tried setting one up? It’s hilariously easy. Install Debian or Ubuntu Server, run:

        curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

        Receive PiHole. Setting a static IP on it is probably the most complicated thing. :)

        Thanks for reminding me. Might just do that tonight!
