AirPrint!!!

To get AirPrint working in my home environment, I had to do the following:

Create a file called /usr/share/cups/mime/apple.types containing a single line:
```
    image/urf urf string(0,UNIRAST)
```
Install avahi on my print server PC
Use an mDNS browser to see what my current printer looked like.

Create an avahi services file. I copied one I found online (see Primary Links section below), and modified it slightly for my environment, based on the previous step (N.B. the rp=, printer-type=, and adminurl= <txt-record> tags:

  <?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
  <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
  <service-group>
  <name replace-wildcards="yes">AirPrint HP LaserJet 4P @ %h</name>
  <service>
  <type>_ipp._tcp</type>
  <subtype>_universal._sub._ipp._tcp</subtype>
  <port>631</port>
  <txt-record>txtver=1</txt-record>
  <txt-record>qtotal=1</txt-record>
