Re: Please test AirPrint on Natty and Oneiric
Dear Mr Kamppeter, I just configured the support for airprint on my ubuntu 11.04 system and it works perfectly. The only problem I had following your instructions (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-June/033611.html) was accessing the server settings in system-config-printer. I tried http://localhost:631/admin which worked. Thanx a lot! This is real fun!

Please test AirPrint on Natty and Oneiric
Hi, as a first step into support for printing from mobile devices I have made Apple's AirPrint working on Natty and Oneiric. AirPrint is the method how Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch print via IPP. I want to ask all of you to test this feature. What is AirPrint? - http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/airprint.html What do you need? - 1. An iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS 4.2 or newer. Update your device via iTunes if needed. If no update gets offered to you, update iTunes first, if after that you do not get an update offered, your device is too old. 2. A computer running Ubuntu Natty or Oneiric. Please update your computer to the newest state of the art with the update-manager. For Natty you need to activate the natty-proposed repository. 3. A print queue on your computer. If you do not have a printer, create a pseudo printer with the following commands in a terminal: cupsctl FileDevice=yes lpadmin -p test -E -v file:/tmp/test.ps -m drv:///sample.drv/generic.ppd -o PageSize=A4 When printing on this printer, you get a PostScript file /tmp/test.ps. Make it world-readable and display it with evince. If you have a printer, every printer which works under Ubuntu does AirPrint with Ubuntu, not only the HP printers listed on Apple's web site (they do AirPrint directly, without computer). 4. WLAN. Switch the internet access of your mobile device to WLAN. Your computer must be in the same LAN (on the same router), but it does not matter whether it is connected via ethernet cable or WLAN. How do you test? 1. On your computer start system-config-printer via System - Administration - Printing (GNOME Classic) or via Turn-off-button at the upper right - System Settings - Hardware - Printing (Unity Natty) or via the command line (all systems including Unity Oneiric). 2. In system-config-printer choose Server - Settings and activate Published shared printers connected to this system. Click OK and then right-click on the icon of your print queue and choose Properties in the pop-up menu. In the Policies section of the dialog make sure that Shared is activated. 3. Make sure your mobile device is accessing your local network using WLAN and then open an application with printing functionality on it (like for example the browser or the photo viewer). Print something. The print dialog should show your print queue and allow some basic settings. Note that the Description/Info field and not the name of the queue is shown. 4. Check whether you get a correct printout. 5. Report your results here. If something goes wrong, report a bug on Launchpad. Links: -- http://www.finnie.org/2010/11/13/airprint-and-linux/ This is the HOWTO on which my patches are based. On Natty and Oneiric you DO NOT need to create the Avahi service definition file described here and you DO NOT need to add a ServerAlias * line to cupsd.conf. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/711779 The bug report which initiated my work on that problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/801306 AirPrint only works with ServerAlias * in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Have a lot of fun with your first experience on mobile printing.
