One additional complication is that iOS devices will be connected to wireless networks, and the printers will
likely be connected to a wired segment of the network. This isn’t inherently a problem since many networks
in SMB and enterprises now have wireless available and AirPrint does not require wireless on both devices
in any way. Traditionally these wired/wireless networks are bridged, which means at an access point that
hosts the wireless net, or a router somewhere on the wired side, the traffic gets converted to the
appropriate type depending on its destination. Wireless radio traffic is converted to wired signals and vice
versa. That’s all good, but the potential problem arises again in that many wired and wireless sections of a
network are deliberately configured to have different network IP configurations, which as we just discussed,
often will not be passing broadcast and multicast traffic across subnets. In these cases AirPrint devices will
not be discoverable. Again, the solution here is to talk to the network administrator to allow mDNS traffic to
pass across the network segments and subnets.
