AirPrint support
Is there any chance that AirPrint support could be added so that a printer attached to the ReadyNAS could be used with iOS 4 devices? Is this possible, and/or under investigation? Thanks!
I currently have plenty of Macs on my network but none that I want to be on full-time, 24x7x365. My ReadyNAS is already online all the time, and my printer is hooked up to it for that reason.
Since my Canon printer is forced to use the Gutenprint CUPS drivers when printing through the ReadyNAS, I’m already at a disadvantage when it comes to printing. (Printouts using the standard Canon drivers when hooked to a Mac directly are much better, but then I have to leave that Mac on for my other Macs to print to it.) If there is no hope or plans to have AirPrint for the CUPS server in the ReadyNAS, that’s one less useful function that the ReadyNAS performs for me.
Getting a Mac mini in addition to the ReadyNAS is not an option at this time. And frankly, if I did that, I’d probably be more likely to replace the ReadyNAS with it.
