Documenting here for posterity:

Airprint uses the Apple Bonjour protocol, which uses multicast packets, which Asus routers seem to filter out by default. On the RT-N13U disabling this filter is done by:

  • Going to the settings page, typically http://192.168.1.1
  • Under "Advanced Setting" (sic), open "LAN" settings
  • Open "Route" tab
  • Select "Yes" for "Enable multicast routing?"
I also needed to unplug the router and plug it back in as well as unplug my printer and plug it back in. After that AirPrint started working like a charm.
