VNC via Finder Fails

M2 Mac MBA on 26.1

I recently set up a new Raspberry Pi as a print server. I'd like to be able to connect to it remotely. Most things work, but VNC fails.

What am I doing wrong?

This works:
smb://piprint.local

This works:
http://piprint.local:631

This works:
ssh pi@piprint.local

This works:

Fifteen:~ mnewman$ ping -c 3 piprint
PING piprint (192.168.0.55): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.55: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=57.052 ms

64 bytes from 192.168.0.55: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=8.809 ms

This fails:
vnc://piprint.local

Connection failed to “piprint.local”.
Unable to communicate with “piprint.local”.  
Make sure the remote computer is 
available and the firewall is not 
blocking screen sharing.

But it works with the same address with the TigerVNCViewr




And it works with a different Pi:
vnc://raspsky.local

So, what am I doing wrong?

Are trying to use the built-in Screen Sharing client app?

Yes. It works fine with another RPi on the same LAN. But, fails with this newly configured Pi.

I believe the built-in VNC on macOS doesn't support modern VNC security protocols, and the newer Pi OS versions don't support the classic VNC authentication that macOS built-in VNC supports. That would be why it works with TigerVNC since it supports the modern protocols.

Thank you. It would have been nice if Apple had provided a more accurate and informative error message.

Thanks for taking the time to explain.
