iPad Printing

We don't print…digital world, who needs paper?

Oh Craig....if I could actually convince academia of that. They want
to print out everything.

No worries, Tom. I'm just waiting for it to come…

HP would gladly talk to you with a managed print solution for iOS devices. Contact them to hear their solution.

While listening to an hp presentation (mostly thinking the whole idea of a iPad is to be a portable dynamic paper replacement) I did pick up on that is not as simple as enabling your existing printers/print servers and could be costly.

The more digital work we produce here the more printing there is...

LOL

Hi Matt,
Essentially it seems airprint is just specially crafted Bonjour service records and a print server that can have PDF's (such as CUPS)
I found the following quite an interesting read, and would be a good base if you wanted to roll your own:

You can use the dns-sd utility to advertise your own bonjour services on a Mac, and unicast bonjour is an option if you need to advertise over multiple subnets.

Hey now that's pretty dang cool! We're in the process of standardizing our multi-function devices throughout the buildings so it would probably be fairly easy to hook this onto our print server and offer this service should we roll out iPads.

Neat!!
