iOS and airprint
Hi all, Anybody dare try to compile an add-on to enable AirPrint to printers connected to a readynas duo? Apparently it has been done fairly simple on a ubuntu box (http://www.micromux.com/2010/11/...
Ok, have been doing some digging into this. I can fairly easily get the printer to show up when browsing for printers on my iOS devices, that only takes addition of two lines in the printers Bonjour service-file in /etc/avahi/services/
However when I send a print job from an iOS device to the printer attached to the ReadyNAS nothing happens - no error and no print. It seems the problem is that the iOS device sends the print job as a pdf-file to the printer, and that the cups version on the ReadyNAS has no pdf-filter included. I can get the package cups-pdf via apt-get, but that will at the same time update the cups version, and I do not think that a newer cups-version is compatible with Frontview.
So does anybody know a way to get a pdf-filter included in the cups-version on the ReadyNAS?
