An update to cups-client from 1.5.3-0ubuntu5.1 to 1.5.3-0ubuntu6 is...

There must be but, there wasn't a reason to look for one as there was the free airprint activator (rename of airprint hacktivator). But they turned there "free" tool in a forced donate 14 days trial...

Hi, recently joined and only did my 2nd installation of ubuntu a few weeks ago. The first one, a few years ago, was on an old pc which was getting to slow for the kids games. After the install i got...

Can't find much back, besides this was originally introduced with iOS 4.2 and somehow got change in 5 and is now back in iOS 6

re post#41 You need to edit the printer(s) Airprint service file under /etc/avahi/services and change URF=none to URF=DM3 and change in airprint.convs the filter "pdftoraster" to "-"

I found a away of confirming that cups advertises without services file without having an ios5 left :-)

avahi-browse -a -c | grep IPv4

with both BrowseLocalProtocols=cups dnssd
+ eth0 IPv4...

#Now i start to understand post 43, where he saw the printers twice on ios5
sudo cupsctl
#most likely shows both cups and dnssd as protocols I don't have an ios5 dev anymore so I can't test...

ok I've mailed Till who has provided a fix for 12.10

Here his reply:

Note that the iOS devices do not actually send files in URF format but CUPS has to pretend that it supports URF format so...

I guess you use airprint-deamon? which publishes the printers to avahi dynamically.
my 2 cents ......

If the daemon is still working just add the 2 mime files and restart cups and avahi (and...

ok. thanks, that means that using the pdftopdf as a filter should also work ...
Only strange that urf:none works here ....

LOL, I only installed ubuntu 2 weeks ago, build a multi media NAS (with plex media server on it), so who's the new user?
No problem helping out where I can, when I'm stuck I also appreciate people...

I updated the conv file only the image/urf application/pdf 100 pdftoraster is really required. That should remove the 3 errors in the log (but that's not a real issue)

the airprint service file...

#restart service cups:
sudo service cups restart
#check status
sudo service cups status



#= when you run (which you should already have done in the past) airprint-generate.py new...

Seems similar from what I did, except urf is sent to pdftops

======= found it ===========

== updated instructions added more details ==
== and only added the really needed lines ==

it's easy

you need to create 2 files under
/usr/share/cups/mime

apt-get can't find the package (first guess is that I'm running 64 bits)


but been looking further on my mac ..... maybe this gives some ideas ....


seems I have a new or altered filter...

Can't find any other discussion on this (and therefore no possible solution)
