LLMNR doesn't provide lookups for "local names" - it provides a local

In other words, if I understand correctly, LLMNR is intended for
use in the situation where your printer is named something like
"myprinter.myrealdomain.tld", where "myrealdomain.tld" is a domain name
that you have the right to use in the DNS, but the DNS is not working
for you right now.  LLMNR is *not* intended for use in the situation
where your printer is named "MYPRINTER" or "myprinter.local", or
"myprinter.randomstuff".
