It looks like these are just broadcasts from your print server. The difference in packet size seems to indicate that you have 2 printers. I have 2 broadcasts every 30 secs. One is 189bytes, and the other 190bytes. I only have one printer. Printer1 on the Wireshark output attached should not be there, and will have to look into that, and get rid of the duplicated entry. I have a bunch of distros that run on the machine that has the printer physically attached to it, and even more distros on the other machine that is using network printing. I've obviously misconfigured something somewhere, which is very easy to do. See attachment below. Nigel.
