No arguments needed since they defaults are fine.Ģ. The ippfind command provides a somewhat easier way to get a working local queue, albeit not exactly equivalent to the way AirPrint does it.ġ. Lpadmin -P SomeAirPrinter -E -V dnssd://Some%20Air%20Printer._ipp._tcp.local./?uuid=0123abcd-4567-efab-cd890123efab -m everywhere Append the UDID to the dnssd URL, and use that with lpadmin and the IPP Everywhere driver. Use you preferred text parser to pull out the UDID for the printer.Ĥ. Use the dns-sd command to retrieve the TXT record from the advertisement for the dnssd URL.ģ.
Find the AirPrint printer URL with lpinfo -v. If you're in a situation where you don't have fixed network toopology and must use dnssd, you should really rethink your network management, but the sequence of steps is:ġ. Lpadmin -P SomeAirPrinter -D "Some AirPrint Printer" -E -v ipp:///queuename -P /System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/Resources/AirPrint.ppd If you're in a situation where you must specify a path to a PPD file, it hides out in the Application Services framework, and has for several major OS version now, so its not likely to go anywhere.
Lpadmin -P SomeAirPrinter -D "Some AirPrint Printer" -E -v ipp:///queuename -m everywhere
What is apple bonjour for windows and do i need it if i don't use a mac driver#
If you just want to use the AirPrint driver on a printer with a reliable DNS name or IP address, use the model switch in lpadmin instead of a PPD path, and choose the IPP Everywhere driver. Good news: I'm giving a presentation on printer management in a few weeks, so I've got some experience with it, and have been working on writing it up!
