What you mean "we"?  Can you give me a reference to an article which explains 
this inequality?

The only thing we can’t figure out is how to enable AirPrint in CUPS so that all our iOS devices can see the printers being shared on our CUPS server.  We have a lot of iOS devices and they would like to be able to print to all our printers.  Any help in this process of how to enable this functionality in CUPS would be awesome!
