How do I get CUPS onto an iOS device?

I figure that I could include a static library in my project. However, I cannot for the开发者_开发百科 life of me compile CUPS for the armv6/armv7 architecture.

Am I on the right path? If so, how do I create a static library? If not, is there any way at all to get CUPS onto an iOS device?

You can also setup some kind of gateway computer in order to make CUPS printers available to iOS devices. We are using this setup and now we are able to send print jobs from the iPad devices to any printer (HP, Lexmark, Oki, Brother, ...) in our office.

Why would you want to compile CUPS? The best way to print would be using AirPrint which is now available for iOS 4. In case you want to access the CUPS admin console, I would recommend using a web view to access it.
