$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pepedog', 'I') will let you know how Airprint works soon (hopefully), it's appearing on iPad print but doesn't actuelly print, think reboot is required?

Edit: Airprint working, even reported to iPad ink level was low
This helped http://atxconsulting.com/blog/tjfontaine/2010/11/21/automatically-generate-airprint-avahi-service-files-cups-printers
Note that you have to change first line of airprint-generate.py to
#!/usr/bin/env python2
Running as root
./airprint-generate.py -d /etc/avahi/services
will scan configured printers in cups, and create avahi service files in the right place (then restart avahi daemon)


Awesome! Thanks for this link.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. I'm able to select the printer on the iPhone, but when I tell it to print the printer never seems to get the job. No output on the CUPS log (I have debug turned on). Any tips on what might be wrong?

Do you have these in rc.conf in DAEMONS?
avahi-daemon samba cups
Then reboot making sure printer connected
Also do you have pycups installed?

I forgot this

ServerAlias *
in the cups conf file helped me with a similar issue (printer there but doesn't print)
Note you must stop cups before you edit

I do have all three services in rc.conf and I did install pycups. I'll double check on the ServerAlias, I may not have that.
