Orbi RBK50 - AirPrint Enabling
I'm using the Orbi RBK50 with NETGEAR DM200-100EUS. I've enabled my printer as an airprinter, it is not natively an airprinter, in netgenie. It worked once but now doesn't show on my ipad as an airpr...

Hi spellfast59,
What FW is your Orbi router on? Do you have Genie, Acrobat reader, and iTunes installed on a computer? If so, are you able to print from your computer?

Christian,
Is there any current KB entry describing the exact requirements for Air Print to Netgear USB connected (only, correct?) non-AirPrint-capable printers? I understand iTunes (resp. the Bonjour package which was available for Windows back some time standalone) for the Bonjour stuff, Acrobat Read for rendering (?), and of course Netgear Genie for Windows or macOS. Last but not least of course also a working printer driver, configured to print to the (Netgear USB connected or any?) printer. Lots of variables.
TIA,
-Kurt

Christian,
The starting point in the KB might be about here: .AirPrint Set up for wireless printing from your iOS devices through NETGEAR genie
But then there is a link to "Supported Routers" with a list of well more than aged - many products are simply missing Nighthawk, DSL, Cable, Orbo, Orbi Pro, ... - this list must be very outdated and incomplete. This is what hold me off (along with some other dead links I can't find again this minute) from posting.

Christian_R I agree with schumaku. An updated AirpPrint and Supported router listing would be helpful.
