Thanks Bob...

No, the printer works just fine as a network printer. If I had a Mac I'm
sure I would have no problem connecting to it and printing.

What I'm trying to do is to use the printer as an "AirPrint" printer
that can be used with an iPad or iPhone. You cannot install printer
drivers on these devices and so they can only print to certain printers
that are sold as AirPrint compatible devices. However, it seems that by
tweaking Cups you can fool them into being able to print to any printer
that is a shared printer on Cups. I just can quite work out how to do
it...

Anyone?
