Both the scale and the Pi answer to this name
The scale announces itself as spoolmanscale.local too. On a Pro, where
both sit on the same network, whichever answers first wins and the result is
not predictable. The name belongs to the scale; the Pi will move to its own.
Until then, use the Pi's IP address if you land on the wrong one.
Can't reach spoolmanscale.local on Windows?
Install Bonjour Print Services. On macOS and Linux it works out of the box.
