Bug Description
After iOS 6 update on my iPad2 device Airprin doesn't work on my ubuntu 12,04 "precise" machine.
On my iPhone with iOS 5.1.1 still works fine.
I dont know if any attachement is required for this issue.
Sorry...
[IMPACT]
Everyone with iOS 6 on his iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, independent whether iOS 6 was installed from the beginning or by an update, is not able to print from his iOS device any more, as there are changes in the AirPrint implementation. Due to Apple's updates this affects Apple hardware of the last three years.
[TESTCASE]
Print from an Appler iOS device with iOS 6 or newer. The print queues of your shared printers on your Precise machine do not appear. After applying the fixed package the queues will appear and printing will work.
[Regression Potential]
The changes are very simple (see attached debdiff) and so there are no regressions expected.

it seems that Apple changed airprint output format from PDF to URF.
This format is not supported and CUPS shared printers aren't recognized by iOS6 devices.
