comment Solution for Airprint with a router that is not Bonjour compatible
Funny that you should mention that. I recently disabled IGMP proxy on my Actiontec Verizon FIOS router to fix Bonjour problems I was having. As for Mom's network, I replaced her old router almost 2 years ago with one that was Bonjour capable.

comment iPhone/Google contacts switched from Exchange to CardDAV but one way sync only
I had a one-time seven hour delay, then had other issues with contacts not syncing at all. I reset the iPhone, and it immediately synced all the missing contacts. I haven't had any problems since.

comment Mountain Lion printer not found on bonjour, can't install by IP
I have a solution, although I'm unable to say why it works, or if I've lost something else in the process. A search on Bonjour/Actiontec/wireless yielded (yabfog.com/blog/2012/09/14/…) with the suggestion to disable IGMP proxy on the Actiontec router. No issues since I made the change.

comment Mountain Lion printer not found on bonjour, can't install by IP
I just recently determined that my issue is related to wireless access. My troublesome MBPro connects to the network via wireless from my Verizon Actiontec modem/router; the other laptops connect to the network via a bridged Airport Extreme. If I connect to the network from the Airport wireless, I'm fine seeing and using the printer. I'm hoping to get Verizon to replace the modem/router to confirm that this really is the source of the problem. I've had Bonjour issues with other Actiontec equipment. FYI, the printer is connected to the Actiontec, not the Airport.

comment Solution for Airprint with a router that is not Bonjour compatible
Just to add though that we already know that her router isn't Bonjour compatible, and isn't "broadcasting" the printer. So getting her on her own network isn't going to solve our problem.

Thanks for the link - I saw that too in the CES coverage.

comment Solution for Airprint with a router that is not Bonjour compatible
I've seen on other forums that other users have been waiting for many, many months for a software update for her particular Actiontec router. I've checked the dsl-provider's site recently - she's on the most recent version. I don't believe she's running multiple subnets, but I'll have to check that out too.

comment Solution for Airprint with a router that is not Bonjour compatible
Good question - she only has one wireless network. But I suppose I should have her check to make sure that the iPad is on her network, and not on a neighbor's open network. I only set her up for her network when we bought the iPad a year ago.

I should add that Mom's not willing to leave her PC on to use a Printopia-type solution. She's 90, I need to let her have this, and give her credit for learning the iPad!
