HOW TO make any printer visible to AirPrint
HOW TO make AirPrint/AirPlay devices on one network visible on another network
AirPrint® is a proprietary APPLE® technology that allows documents to be printed on any compatible printer.
Users who do not have an AirPrint-compatible printer can proceed as outlined below:
-
Download the Netgear Genie program from the NetGear website.
- Note that
the AirPlay feature of the program works on any Windows system, irrespective of the brand of router you are using.
- The program requires that Bonjour Printer Services and Adobe PDF Reader be installed on your system.
- Genie works by listening for AirPrint requests on the local network and then accepting the files sent by the requesting device.
- Those (PDF) files are then passed to Acrobat for printing on the system's default printer.
- If NAT32 is running on the system running Genie, the needed NAT32 port mappings can be installed with the command:
script/airprint mstcp
-
The above command maps the needed ports (UDP 5353, TCP 631 and 9100) to the Windows TCP/IP stack on the NAT32 machine.
NOTES
To make an AirPrint or AirPlay device on one network visible on another network, add the following command to your
