354.29 and AirPrint

[Simdim]

Folks,
I have a printer connected to USB of AC66U that I had intended to use as an Airprint printer, however non of my iOS devices see it. It may be multicast snooping issue on wireless interfaces, however I do not see any way to disable it. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Simdim

It may be a supid question, but your printer support AirPrint right? I have one at home, connected wirelessly to my AC66U, and AirPrint works fine in my case.

I'll try to connect it using USB when I get home to see if it cause any problems.

FrancoisC,
My understanding is when printer connected over USB to RT-AC66U the router is taking care of Airprint functionality am I wrong here?

Wrong. Airprint consist of specific software/protocol support. It is not build-in in the router (or any router, I believe)

Don't bother, it won't work over USB. Airprint needs an IP connection (and direct communication between printer and client).

Ok thank you - unplugging from USB and just buying FingerPrint
