I can't take credit for this solution (it worked for me), but I found it in the Xfinity Internet forum:

 

  1. You will need to configure your xFinity Gateway to enable "zero config" before your AirPrint printer will appear in iOS devices, and also to stay alive as a Mac CUPS printer:

    Zero config is apparently required to let Bonjour communications through.
