As I just posted on Twitter, I have successfully gotten my Raspberry Pi to function as an AirPrint Server for ios devices. This allows any of the ios devices connected to my WiFi network to print to my network printers which do not support native AirPrint functionality. It was a bit convoluted to set up and did require a heavy usage of the terminal but in the end it was totally worth it! It took me about 35 minutes to setup (including the 2 minutes I spent wondering why the iPhone couldn’t find the printer before I realized the WiFi was off)!
A tutorial (with step by step instructions) and a video demonstration will be coming out on Saturday, so stay tuned!
Ciao – good move and looking forward to see the tutorial 🙂
Thanks! I'm actually running a couple of weeks behind due to exams, but I should be ready with a finalized version after the next two weeks!
Just found this when looking at how to make my printer AirPrint compatible, very interested in your tutorial 😀
Thanks! As I mentioned above, I'm running behind due to exams but I should have something up on Tuesday, May 22!
Hopefully just in time to add to my pi delivered that same week?
Well I don't know when your Pi is coming in – but my tutorial should be up on Tuesday, May 22! Glad that you are all interested. I'm working on it – in between studying for exams.
Where's the tutorial then?
It's on it's way. I'm sorry, I've been incredibly busy with graduation and other projects. Today though, I do have a video tutorial: https://rohankapoor.com/2012/06/demonstration-rasp…
