First, thanks for working on this. I have been dabbling with airprint
support for years, and never got anywhere.

Second, the patches apply (after converting the patch file from msdos to
unix line endings), and the patched cups-base builds and installs. My
iphone then proceeds to not find a printer.

I used

PKG_OPTIONS.cups =      tcpwrappers dnssd -dbus -kerberos -libusb -slp

to build. Are there any more requirements for build or configuration?

Cheerio,
hauke
