Bonjour vs AirPrint

[SalesServiceGuy]

I have a law firn that insists they want to print via Bonjour. They do not want to load any print drivers nor connect via IP address.

Is not AirPrint the same thing?

My first thought is this law firm will not enjoy the full feature benefits of an OEM print driver.

MAC devices use Bonjour & Airprint to communicate but yes without installing a print driver they won't have full functionality of the printer.

They're related. AirPrint is a little more of an advanced protocol as it can better communicate with the end device to determine its feature and add them into the print options. Bonjour will allow you to discover the device, but you still need to add a driver, though generally a Mac will add the correct one if it's in the CUPS driver store on the machine.
