Sometimes you want the IP address from DHCP, but you want to provide your own DNS. There are LOTS of scenarios where this is desirable. That's why this is such an important topic, and why it keeps coming up over and over again. That's why we have a wiki page which describes several different solutions, so that each sysadmin who runs into this problem can find a suitable one. https://wiki.debian.org/resolv.conf .

Thanks Greg, it may contain some clue as to why printers on this machine, all marked shared, cannot be used by other bullseye installs, Other buster installs however can use them just fine. My logs claim the client is not sending any authorization. Yet all clients claim DefaultAuthorization is Basic.
