Googling, I saw varying lists of ports to allow AirPrint connectivity and wanted an objective answer. So I packet sniffed the interface my AirPrint print job was made on (image is a screen-grab from a MikroTik). Would appear the client (192.168.4.49) connects from a dynamic port range IP to the printer (192.168.3.67) on port TCP/631.

First, when publishing a printer (AirPrint or not) from a DNS server ("static, Wide Area Bonjour"), you should include ALL of the TXT record key/value pairs which are listed in the current Bonjour Printing specification. A tabular overview is listed in chapter 9 of the specification document (for all details please read the complete chapter):

Nov 20, 2018 · Any AirPrint enabled wireless printer you need to be connected to a WiFi network, the same to which your iDevice (iPhone or iPad) is connected. The AirPrint is a protocol that make the iOS device NOT to need a driver to print over WiFi. As mentioned you can connect your printer to a computer alternatively.

Indeed, "Stuart's Home AirPrint Printer" mentions "URF" in its TXT records. So, to summarize the answer to your question "How can I get the IP addresses of all AirPrint printers?" First, list all IPP printers. Second, exclude these IPP printers which do NOT enumerate the two above mentioned urf-entries in their TXT records.

Oct 3, 2020 · AirPrint is the full protocol that allows a device to discover a printer and send a PDF over to it which is then printed. Bonjour is the protocol that allows devices to discover each other and chat. AirPrint uses Bonjour. A very rough and incorrect analogy is that AirPrint is to Bonjour, what an Internet Browser is to the Network connection.

Dec 27, 2011 · However, if you have a Mac running on your network, you could try something like AirPrint, which runs on your Mac and makes all the printers available on the Mac available to Airprint as well. This works great for me with my old Mac Mini that I run as a server and an HP CP1515 printer.

Mar 18, 2012 · Simply plug it in to your home or office network, and every printer accessible on your local subnet—be it wired or wireless—will now show as an option when using AirPrint. There's no configuration necessary; any printer that supports JetDirect, LPD, or IPP printing will work, and that includes pretty much every printer with network support.

To be specific; these are all HP Printers, which support Airprint, and the server is running Yosemite with 5.0.1 (the same problem existed on server 4 as well), with the clients either on Yosemite or 10.11. The firewall settings for layer 2, 3, and 7 are all correct and not interfering with this, as far as I know (have experimented, with it off).

Nov 5, 2024 · AirPrint is a brand-name owned by Apple which describes a proprietary technology to make printers easily discoverable and useable by iOS clients. Printer vendors can go through a certification process with Apple to get their devices tagged as AirPrint-compatible.

Linux can do AirPrint sharing of standard printers with a combination of CUPS and avahi (Bonjour) following instructions you can find here. Some of the 3rd party router firmwares already have CUPS configured, and I suspect you could get avahi working on them as well, there may be a pre-built version, but you may have to compile yourself.
