CUPS/AirPrint
The other day I came across an article about AirPrint and wondered if I can share my printer over the WiFi network and print out over the CUPS installation on an Ubuntu installation.

Before attempting to print from your iDevices it is probably wise to make sure the target printer is properly working locally over CUPS on the local machine. Configuration of the printer in CUPS is beyond the scope of this article tho.
