Allow AirPrint.exe, Bonjour and mdns through PFSense 2.0
-
Hi PFSense.
I have a setup, where PFsense functions as an internal LAN firewall (windows firwall is therefore disabled on my Windows Server 2008) on my school, with 144 students. In this setup, we have a windows server that hosts all the printer queues, and PaperCut to take care of quotas and so forth.
Now they have started byiing iPads, and they want to print. So I need all the calls and protocols associated with AirPrint, the AirPrint. exe fil, Bonour and so on to bypass the firewall. How can I do that?
I have tried to do this:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=45964.0…but that seems to be focused on using PFSense itself as a print server.
Hope you can help me,
Thanks.

The Avahi package is meant to pass Bonjour traffic between firewall segments. Because it's multicast/broadcast it will not cross between subnets/interfaces.
