Hello All, I have a Brother HL-2170W printer which works very well, but which is not of course an Apple Air-print printer. Most of my family seem to have Apple devices. I read somewhere that it is possible to make any printer Air-Print compatible by modifying the Cups settings. This seemed like such a good idea I would have a go. A have a F17 (I know, I know - but I am going to try to upgrade when I have some time over the Easter holidays...) machine which is always on an runs cups.
I found this article http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=9633.0 which has some information but I got stuck at the bit about avahi. I then had a look at this article http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=60740 upon which the first one is based. The updated page now says that this method is deprecated because "Discovery of a Mint/Ubuntu attached printer from an iPad pretty much works out of the box as long as you have shared the printer, instructed the CUPS server to publish that printer, and have made sure that the avahi-daemon is running." I am a bit lost. Has anyone got this working on a Fedora machine? If so can you point me to a how-to? Thanks in advance!
