I had the bright idea to configure cups and avahi to present my old HP Color Laserjet 3600n as an airprint printer (see http://atxconsulting.com/posts/Automatically_generate_AirPrint_Avahi_service_files_for_CUPS_printers/ for the script I used to generate the avahi service file).
The way IOS works with airprint is that it makes a request for the subtype _universal._sub._ipp._tcp.local. Avahi on my copy of Openindiana ( oi_151a7) doesn't respond to that, it only responds to the query for _ipp._tcp.local. I could see this in wireshark, or I could test with dig and see that queries like: "dig @192.168.1.42 -p 5353 _universal._sub._ipp._tcp.local PTR" would fail. I tried a similar avahi configuration on a FreeBSD 9.1-Release machine, and it worked fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten this to work on Openindiana? Poking around in the bugtracker I see there is a recent request to upgrade mDNS for Illumos (Bug #3661), I suspect Illumos might be far enough behind on mDNS that subtypes aren't quite supported? Does anyone know if that is the case?
