How to Print Across Subnets (Wide-Area AirPrint)
AirPrint uses the Bonjour protocol (
16) to find printers and make them available in the
network.
However, Bonjour is limited to local network segments. You have to set up primos in such
a way that searching for and finding printers is possible across network segments. Then
you can print from the entire network. Follow the instructions below in the indicated
order.
Procedure
• Enable Wide-Area AirPrint on primos: ’Configuring Wide-Area AirPrint on primos’
• Define a subdomain for primos, e.g. primos.mydomain.com. Configure this
subdomain on primos: ’Configuring Wide-Area AirPrint on primos’
Warning
The primos subdomain must not end with '.local'. This domain is reserved for
multicast Bonjour (mDNS).
• On primos, define the printer which are to be used with Wide-Area AirPrint:
’Configuring Wide-Area AirPrint on primos’
• Optionally, you can deactivate the standard mechanism (multicast) for publishing
printers in the network. Printers will then only be made available via Wide-Area
AirPrint. (See ’Configuring Wide-Area AirPrint on primos’
• On your DNS server, configure a conditional forwarder. Request which contain the
primos subdomain must be forwarded to primos:
• Tell the iOS devices which are to use Wide-Area AirPrint how to search for and find
printers in the primos subdomain. To do this, the primos subdomain must be defined
as search domain on the iOS devices. You can either set this up manually or
automatically on all iOS devices in the domain.
