Air Print is a proprietary solution , which have Open specification and implementation.
Recent OpenPrinting Cups support AirPrint https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/105[1] , so you could use "Air Print" even for devices that do not have Air Print for them (yes, your good old dot matrix printer should be able to do Air Print with the proper config on cups) Cups (pre fork) does not support it (I don't think it even maintained now). Cups (all versions) support driver-less printing c.f. https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting[2] On Wednesday, 27 December 2023 8:32:42 IST Shachar Shemesh wrote: On 27/12/2023 0:25, Oron Peled wrote: On a separate note, if you buy a printer in the last two years -- look for the "*AirPrint*" logo (and "*AirScan*" if it has a scanner): * These are Apple brands for "*Driverless*" printing (and scanning, respectively) * Like some other Apple technologies, these proprietary implementation has an open specification. Are you sure it's proprietary? Apple are the ones who developed CUPS, after all. -------- [1] https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/105 [2] https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting
