AirPrint appreciation thread?
AirPrint appreciation thread.
It just werks, Apple has released CUPS to the open source community, just download it, compile it and check the share button and you're good print on everything from an old iPhone 3g to a fresh install of GNU\Linux without installing one single driver. This is printing as it should be
Google's wireless printing solution is totally different. You have to sign into a botnet on your phone, you have to sign into a botnet on your printer, and then you can somehow print to your printer from anywhere in the word. Google does of course promise that they won't snoop.
Microsoft's solution is to install some drivers found on a CD rom and then an animated paper clip will guide you through a wizard and when you're done, it will probably not work to print out wirelessly anyway.

I have a printer (canon pixma pro-100) for which no Linux drivers exist. How can I print to this from Linux? The printer has built in AirPrint support and works fine from Apple devices.

Apple is using CUPS, if its working on OS X, then it's working on Linux. When you're adding printers in CUPS, you can chose which printer you have, if you don't find your model, just take a model with a similar name or use a generic gutenprint driver. i have never failed adding a printer in CUPS, worst case is that you don't get to see how much ink you have left
make sure the web interface is activated, and go to http://localhost:631

I'm familiar with this, and have tried all manner of generic drivers. Nothing works. There is even a note in the cups release notes that they haven't figured out this printer. How can I take the drivers from OS X and make them work on Linux?

you can either chose to select a printer from a list or upload a file. i did that with some printer at school in order to be able to print on both sides from linux, but if this is some special case, then i don't have any other ideas
