Then, in January 2016, I started figuring out how to build one myself, and started thinking about a Raspberry PI, but also in that case, including the WIFI shield, the price would not have been cheap. But it is ain’t cheap (45$) and it turned out it has not AirPrint server… should I buy an Apple Airport Express to do that?! 99$ no way 🙂

Something like TP-LINK-TL-WPS510U seemed to be just perfect. The simpler solution would have been buying a WIFI print server. So basically how do I convert it to my USB Printer into a WIFI AirPrint printer? XEROX 6130N was born before AirPrint, so it does not support it, and given that often I read documents over my iPad, it would be nice that I don’t have to move to the PC to print them when needed.I don’t want to get a wire from the router to the printer (2 floors are between them).I don’t want to move the printer close to the router.It is actually also an ethernet printer, but In my home office, I happen to have a XEROX 6130N : it’s a bit old, but works perfectly.
