I need to be able to ping devices in my network by their hostname whenever possible. I am unable to do so with any of my printers. I can ping servers and other computers on my network by their hostname but not printers. I can however ping the printers by their IP.
To use as an example, I have a HP printer 3015. I connected to the web interface via the IP and set the hostname, applied, restarted etc. Still nothing.
When I do an nslookup by the IP it says "non-existent domain."
I looked around the internet and other forums and say some hints about reverse DNS lookup but it looks complicated and I'm not sure if it's the answer.
Thanks!
