Bonjour is only about service discovery. It just tells you a service’s IP 
address; it doesn’t have anything to do with the connection or protocol.

NSNetService does have a convenience method -[getInputStream:outputStream:] 
that will open a socket to the service’s IP address/port; so NSStream is 
probably the easiest API to use.

At that point you’ll need to use whatever data protocol the printer supports. 
That’s off-topic for this list, and not something I know about; you’ll need to 
do some research to find out about printing protocols.
