AirPrint in hotels

I plan to buy an AirPrint compatible HP for use with my IPad. Will the printer work with the IPad using the hotels wireless network? If so,are there any special configuration issues to deal with?
Thanks for any help.
This question was solved.

Airprint in the Enterprise across subnets [Solution]

This is a message to help folks figure out how to setup
Airprint across wired/wireless subnets. Hopefully it will help a few people.
Airprint was designed to work with Bonjour on a local subnet/broadcast domain.
To print in the enterprise where we have wired/wireless infrastructure,
we need to use a DNS server to find the printer resources
Assumptions:
Our internal domain is: foocompany.com
We create a new subdomain: bonjour.foocompany.com
Creating a new subdomain allows up to apply DNS views so we can show print/bonjour services in
close proximity of the user.
You have a CUPS printer server (linux/apple) running at printserver.bonjour.foocompany.com
1. Setup a DNS server
If you setting up a test domain server, you can setup forwarding to your primary production server.
This way all DNS queries continue to work
In your named.conf file setup forwarding
options {
forwarders { YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR; YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR2; };
forward first;
allow-query-cache { any; }; // Allow client queries from other subnet to query from cache
Create a new zone, "bonjour.foocompany.com"
zone "bonjour.foocompany.com." { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.home"; };
zone "foocompany.com" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR; YOURTOPNAMESERVER_IPADDR2; }; };
Create the following entries to support bonjour browsing
#=======DNS====Begin======

2. Setup CUPS
Add printers to the CUPS server.
Enable access to the printer queue from remote machines,
GUI: "System->Admin->Printing->Server->Server Setting: Allow printing from the internet"
Also make sure the following lines are present in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# Allow remote access
Port 631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
AccessLog syslog
AccessLogLevel all
LogLevel debug
MaxLogSize 0

# Enable printer sharing and shared printers.
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
BrowseRemoteProtocols CUPS
BrowseAddress @LOCAL
BrowseLocalProtocols CUPS dnssd
BrowseProtocols all
DefaultAuthType Basic
3. Change iPAD configs
Add your DNS server as the first DNS server in the network settting page.
Add "bonjour.foocompany.com" to the DNS domains to search
4. Test printing
Open up Photos application.
Select a picture
Select "Send To->Print"
Select "Printer", now a list of printer names should show up as defined in the DNS server
Select a printer and hit "Print"
Fast task switch to Print Center to verify print job is being sent

Update for ios 8:
With ios 8 it appears that _printer and _ipp are no longer equivalent. For this to work it looks like you have to use _ipp._tcp
Also - the underscore characters are important and they are missing from the example above.
Last - you can use the "note" field to add a second line that is displayed in smaller text below the printer name in ios 8.
Here is an updated template:
####Printer TEMPLATE

How do I use my Time Capsule with hotel wired internet

How do I use my Time Capsule as a wireless router on my hotel free internet ethernet cable?

It may not be possible..
If they use a web access page, then there is no way you can set the TC to authenticate.. you must use the computer to authenticate and then use the computer to bridge to the TC for wireless clients to access.
Look up instructions on using ICS (internet connection sharing) in the Mac.
eg for 10.6.8 http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6589
eg http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740
Of course if there is no login then you could just use it.. but I doubt you would be asking if it just worked.

AT a remote hotel I was asked to revert to a more simplified version of Yahoo. How do I reverse that?

I have a very simple version of Yahoo mail and would like to revert back to my original with all the bells and whistles. I was asked to do this when at a remote hotel and the internet connection was poor. Now I 'd like to reverse this.

hello, what you could try to do is to [[Clear the cache - Delete temporary Internet files to fix common website issues|clear the cache]] & [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer|cookies from yahoo.com]] and reload the page.
in case this doesn't help please contact yahoo's support since it is likely caused by a setting tied to your yahoo account...

HT4356 HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color MFP M575 Airprint?

I installed a new HP Laserjet 500 (great fast printer) and all Mac's and Win7 have no trouble printing but iPhone's and iPad's do not find the printer. It is plugged into the Comcast Business gateway which is perhaps not AirPrint compatible? The wireless access point is an Airport Express with up to date firmware. There is no newer firmware for the printer.
I wished there were another way to check whether this "AirPrint" service is on or off on the HP. My SNMP network thingy on the iPhone shows HTTPS (443), HTTP (80) (great web interface!), Telnet (23), FTP (21) Line-printer (515) and Internet Printing (631). Should I be seeing something named Airprint or is the Internet Printing it? I did not enable and subscribe to HL ePrint. I never had to do that with other HP printers to get AirPrint working.
Any insights or things I should have done?
It is not on the list.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
HP support said it works, It does not for me.

There is a place to verify that AirPrint is On.
Networking Tab, then Other settings. Bonjour and Airprint are Tick'd on mine, though no love printing to it via iOS.
I'm able to get ePrint to work just fine, its the other iOS AirPrint apps that cannot see the printer.

How to for HP CP1525nw Apple AirPrint and Netgear WNDR3700 router

How to setup AirPrint on an iPhone & iPad with a HP CP1525nw and Netgear WNDR3700 router
Date written: April 17, 2011
I did this twice. It took 2 days the first time and 3 hours the second time.
Equipment used:
iPhone 4 on AT&T
iPad 2 on Verizon
HP LaserJet CP1525nw color laser
Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNR3700 v2
Abstract: Upgrade Apple products software, upgrade router firmware, upgrade HP Printer firmware and installer. In that order. Reboot a lot. Test as you go.
APPLE - Upgrade iTunes to the latest version 10.2.1.1 Released around mid April, 2011.
This will Upgrade iPhone 4 to version 4.3.2 (AT&T) Check in Settings under About.
This will Upgrade iPad 2 to version 4.3.2 (Verizon) Check in Settings under About.
NETGEAR - Upgrade the Netgear 3700 router from version 1.0.0.6 to version 1.0.0.8 using the built in webpage to check for updates. The router will download and install the updates. This will also update the built in Web setup GUI from 1.0.0.56 to 1.0.0.67. Power off and on the router. To see your version, check Status under Maintenance
Now is a good time to setup Wireless security in the router. Set to WPA PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES). Uncheck Enable Wireless Isolation.
Enter a password for both bands 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, I used the same for both. (the iPad can use the 5 GHz WiFi band but not for printing {?} so use 2.4 GHz when you print.) You should give them different SSID names, like NETHOME and NETHOME-5. These will show up on your wireless devices (like the iPad but not iPhone)
Make sure your computer, iPhone and iPad can connect to the internet before you go on.
HP PRINTER – Go to HP’s website and down load the latest Installer and firmware for the CP1525nw.
Printer webpage
This is the webpage but you can just search for CP1525nw at the HP website.
Select your Operating System, such as Win 7 32 bit. And look at the list of downloads that appear below. Under Drivers (2), you want to download the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver. It says it is version 2.0 The Installer you will use is version 3.0.3.5253 as you will see. The Installer on the CD is much older (1.4).
Now under Firmware (1) download the newest firmware utility for the printer. HP LaserJet Firmware Update Utility. The file name is CP1525_Series_FW_Update-20101125.exe [1/1, 6.87M]
Note the date is 20101125. My Printer had 20100430. These are the firmware version numbers.
So 2 programs from HP. One is the Installer and the other is the Firmware Updater. You can just click on the HP Full Feature Installer to run it. No CD needed anymore. You have to get the printer working on the USB port next, and then you can update the firmware in the printer.
You should uninstall any old drivers if it asks you. You are going to uninstall and reinstall 2 or more times. Uninstall old stuff, install new USB drivers from the new download, uninstall USB drivers, and install Wireless drivers. But first get the USB working and printing. Print Config from the printer control menu to see your firmware version…. Reports/Config Report. Look at Firmware Date.
Now you can double click the 2nd HP program to upgrade the Printer firmware. The file is called CP1525_Series_FW_Update-20101125.exe This will upgrade the firmware over the USB port. When it is done you will get a yellow Happy Face. You can print Config Report from the printer controls to see the firmware version… 20101125.
Power off/on Printer. Turn off cell phones, go into Airplane mode on the iPhone and iPad. You can turn on the iPhone and iPad WiFi but leave the 3G phone stuff off. This seems to be important, I think some of the “not found” problems are RF interference with the WiFi.
Run HP Installer again. Uninstall the USB driver and then run it again to install the printer as a Wireless Device. You will need to pick the router and enter the password so the printer can log on to the router.
Once you reboot the printer, check for the blue light on the front. Make sure the Wireless is turned on in the Printer Wireless settings.
Your iPad and iPhone will go through the Router and back out to the Printer to print. Uninstall Print n Share, Print Pro and other printing helpers. (for now) Try printing now. It doesn’t work with Notes, so try printing in Safari with the BoxArrow icon.
The first time you print, you should see the Printer in list, but I had to get out of the app and get back in to Print the first time. After that is works with the CP1525nw without picking the printer again. You will see a big print button.
We so excited…. AirPrint works. (Needs some printer settings…landscape?)
Disclaimer – I don’t work for Apple, HP, Netgear, AT&T or Verizon. I work for free… I would be willing to beta test for them, they need help.

My question is if its possible for the N devices to still use N network while the G devices not demoting the whole wireless network to G?
Yes. To do so, you would need to connect the Netgear to the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet, and then, reconfigure it as a bridge (disable both its NAT & DHCP functions).
In this configuration, the AEBSn & AXn can provide the 802.11n network and the Netgear can provide the 802.11g network.

AirPrint and the D-Link DIR-655 solution

After much messing around I have finally achieved the ability to airprint using a DLink DIR-655 router.
In my own search for a solution it became apparent this is bothering a lot of you. So here is my solution.
Basic equipment we were using:
iPhone 4s / iPad2 / iPad3 / MacBookPro Retina / Mac mini / Apple TV (the new one - forget its model) / some random android devices / Win 7 PC
HP photosmart 5510 (B111a) Firmware ver. EPL2CN1239AR
DLink DIR-655 router (ver. B1) Firmware ver. 2.05
Set up HP printer over USB cable as per normal.
Remove USB cable and finalise connection to wireless network as per normal (follow the HP setup).
Log into your router via your browser.
In your router settings:
under SETUP / NETWORKSETTINGS / ADD DHCP Reservation (all my other devices are dynamic - this step is not essential but saves you time if you want to use your browser to log into the printer and scan or whatever - you can bookmark the address). Put in the appropriate details. You should be able to see the IP address, mac address, device name for the printer listed in Dynamic DHCP Clients section directly below.
Save settings then log back into router.
under ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS / Enable SPI - make sure SPI is disabled.That is to say, the box is not ticked. This is important.
under the same menu (ADVANCED / FIREWALL SETTINGS the next options down are NAT ENDPOINT FILTERING. For UDP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent". For TCP Endpoint Filtering select "Endpoint Independent".
Save settings then log back into router.
under ADVANCED / ADVANCED NETWORK / MULTICAST STREAMS - check the box to enable Multicast Streams.
Save your settings.
Enjoy!

Hi Noel
I am currently changing out my entire network.
I am trying to avoid apple routers for both configurability and price.
The bonjour issues I had been having really bugged me and lately despite HP replacing my printer, D-Link sending me an unreleased firmware I can print now from iPhones but not iPads.
This is crazy.
Using cunning software I was able to see the original HP printer was not broadcasting on bonjour.
Got the new one, now it is. They were very kind at HP and gave me a free upgrade to a printer worth about 150 more. I have a lot of respect for their customer service.
However, now I can see it is broadcasting on bonjour as mentioned above I can only print from the iPhones, not the iPads. (?????)
I am looking into some routers compatible with DD-WRT (a nice firmware created by some people much smarter than I am) http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index
At another location with similar devices we have had no trouble getting everything to work including all the bridging etc.
This still has not resolved my iPad no airprint issue but I intend to check this out at the other location tomorrow.
Unfortunately the DIR-655 uses a cpu that is not compatible with DD-WRT.
I am also wanting to integrate one apple airport express to airstream music (I don't like the compression of bluetooth).
In the next 2 weeks I am going to finalise all of this and will let you know how I go.
Please keep me posted on any advancements you have too.
Edit: Oh and by the way, I, like you am using many different OS. I have about 9 iOS and osX devices, several windows PC's, 2 android devices, samsung wireless TV, dvico media player, aTV, gaming devices, HP printer etc etc... Networking used to be something I enjoyed. I have in the past had long range wireless links, linux boxes set up as routers etc but in an effort to simplify have reduced all of this (and the long range wifi link was highly illegal in terms of wattage but meant I had a 6kM link betwween two properties - probably effecting everyone in the ways own wifi ).

Solution to use Airprint across subnets wired/wireless

A lot of companies are trying to figure out how to setup airprint to print
in the workplace, wired+wireless across subnets.
We finally figured it out with some DNS magic and a CUPS server.
I have documented the solution at a live document hosted at
http://sites.google.com/site/iwastepaper/
Hopefully it helps a few folks.
<Edited by Host>

You will want to make sure your APs can route from where ever you install them to the WLC managment address.
How APs find the controller can happen a few different ways:
1) DNS A record
2) Layer 2 broadcast (which you seen already)
3) IP Route Forward
4) DHCP Option 43
5) Manual Prime the AP
Most folks lead with option 43.

if you check the config guide you will explain the other processes.

(error code: ssl_error_bad_mac_read) when trying to log on to Radisson Hotel Narita, Japan guest website. Unable to get on line at all. Everywhere else, Firefox works great.

The Radisson Hotel in Narita Japan uses Guest-Tek as its sign in for guests to access the internet. When I try to log on I first click that I want to use English. The next page has me either agree or disagree to the terms of usage. After I click agree I get a page that says:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to (website I try)
SSL received a record with an incorrect Message Authentication Code
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_mac_read)
-The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified
-Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site
(There is a button here that says "Try Again", it does no good)
I don't know who generates this page. Mine is the only computer in the hotel with this problem. I have contacted the web owners via phone who only give me a temporary fix; next time I am there the same problem occurs. I can not find the help menu they reference to report the problem. I'm learning what SSL means, but don't know if I can adjust my security to accept this web site. So far, this is the only place in the world I have problems with this computer and using Firefox. I understand that this may not be a Firefox problem, but any help would be appreciated. I'm rapidly running out of ideas. Thanks, Rick

First, I agree with Karol, use the AUR so that pacman can do its job. Second, when you do your make, there is no reason to run it as root (until you do the make install) For the initial build, it is much safer to not use root; plus all the files in your home directory will continue to belong to use, not to root.
But, try the AUR.

I put in the wrong password for an airprint device, so it's not connecting. how can I change it?

On first connecting to an airprint device on a windows PC, the ipad asked for username and password. I fatfingered the password, and can't seem to find anywhere to delete the old connection or update the password.

Thaks for the suggestion, but the router connection's not the problem. The issue is that the iPad remembers the printer password. I set it to allow guests with no password on the PC, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get the iPad to forget the password I first put in. My next step is to try a new printer name on the PC.

How do I use my iBook with a hotel's ethernet connection?

When a hotel just has an ethernet connection, I can never come up with the right configuration to access it. Does anyone have the procedure?

Plug in the ethernet.
(Turn on/log in your iBook)
Open browser
Go to a website.
It should now load.
If for some reason the obvious is not working, do this.
Open System preferences.
Click Network
Now at the top pull down the menu and select network status.
There should now be a line that says ethernet.
In that line it should say "connected, your IP address is x." If it does not say that it is connected, what does the error say?

Can't find Printer for AirPrint

So I have an Canon MX432 printer that is air-print enabled. However, when I try to print from my iPad 4 it says "No AirPrint Printers Found". I have looked into this and I have the latest printer firmware, but it's still not working... help?

Iphone and ipad does not find the airprint printer

After I upgraded my iphone and ipad I lost my airprint function. Ipad and Iphone does not find the airprinter. The printer is a HP Photosmart 5520, and it does work wireless with my Windows PC that is on the same nettwork.

In our case the Airprint printers could not be found after IOS upgraded to 7.1.2, all was fine before then. I have scoured the forums and many people have suffered the same problem. All the solutions given are aimed at a domestic network with just a Wireless router. They all involve restarting all the devices and rejoining the IOS devices to the wireless network. Some people have had to do it multiple times before they regained use of the printers.
In my case none of these work because I am talking about a business network with two wireless access points, several switches and a router. To prove it is the IPads I have installed Bonjour onto a Windows PC (Bonjour is the technology used by Airprint). This finds the printers perfectly so it is definitely something that was changed in the version of Bonjour on the IOS 7.1.2 that is causing all the problems.
I was hoping that Apple would release another upgrade to IOS to fix this problem but it has been several weeks so far and nothing has emerged.
So something that worked perfectly a few weeks ago is now dead in the water because of an update on the IPads!!!!!!!!

IPad 3 does not find Canon MG6200 for Airprint by my iPhone 4 does...

I have a Canon MG6200 which I can airprint to fine from my iPhone 4(iOS 5.1) but my iPad 3 (iOS 5.1) refuses to find the printer when trying to print from iBooks or Safari, (i've not tried any other apps but suspect they would be the same).
The printer options dialog appears fine but when I tap on Select Printer it reports Looking for Printers... and then says No Airprint Printers found.
The iPhone and iPad are sitting next to each other at my desk with the printer on the floor next to me. Any suggestions?

Dpsharp-
A few weeks ago when I had trouble printing, I found that my WiFi connection had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that had the same name. Be sure your iPad is connected to the right one. There are a LOT of WiFi base stations out there named "Linksys"!
