When Apple released iOS 5, some change they made to it made most of the previous instructions on the Internet to allow one to print from these devices to Windows non-AirPrint printers no longer work.

If you try to play Netflix titles or movies on your iPad and you have a problem where clicking on play brings you to “Preparing to view…”, the navigation bar sides down, shows you the Netflix app splash screen then instantly redirects you to the original page you were on, it’s an issue with DNSMasq in DD-WRT.

It took me a month of hunting to find the solution to this. I’m reblogging the solution because the blog where I found the solution has a horrible PageRank, Inanis.net has an awesome PageRank, and maybe this will help others find the solution faster.
