Final version is up. Looks good to me

Dave

avaible now. I will wait a bit

Dave

Me too.

Plus.
Who in the helll prints off their iPad , let alone iPhone ? ? I mean maybe once in a (rare) occasion. Sure that would be nice.

But
It is a good thing that you can - Ghee not even sure if the others competitors can ?

Anyway is this another (Face Time) - where competitors comes out with better alternatives in a few months ?

The ability to print from iPhones would benefit me many times a day. At the shop where I work, people are always coming in wanting to print some thing or another that they've got in an email on their iPhone. As it is, the staff often have to get this person to email it to the store and print it for them. It's a real pain.

Unfortunately, it looks like the printer we have for them to use (HP 4015dn)likely won't be supported. I'll have to see if there's a way around this. Surely you could print to a printer that's being shared by an OS X computer, eh?

I would for one.

And I can't wait to get an iPad and have the ability to print.

What is better than FaceTime?
My understanding is that the others are streamed across 3G and it is all stuttery. As opposed to FT which uses your full wifi bandwidth,

Trey, go look around macstories.net. There are two or three different ways you can get shared printers to appear in AirPrint. One is a commercial solution for $9.99 (with trial) and the other is an app that puts beta files back in that were taken out before release (hacktivator) ...we tried the hactivator at work today and it worked just fine with our old HPLaserjet.

I really think they will release AirPrint for shared printers after they get all the kinks worked out. I figure there Just took it out to make the Nov ship date.

A lot of people are looking at activating AirPrint on the new Snow Leopard 10.6.5… but it requires a tedious terminal session.

So I followed a link from a tuaw.com post to the 3 files required and wrote a small wrapper around them to make the installation easier. The application is called AirPrintHacktivator and can be downloaded on this page. The application allow you to “Hacktivate” and “De Hacktivate” AirPrint by adding or removing the 3 files required… all of this while making a backup of the current files so they are properly restored during “De Hacktivation”.

What you need?

* An iPhone or iPad with 4.2GM
* A Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.5 installed
* iTunes 10.1+ installed
* AirPrintHacktivator

The application will attempt to detect if you have the right combination of OS and iTunes.

WARNING! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! It is working fine for me but don’t come crying if it break something on your Mac… mmmkay!

Just bought an HP Envy 100 today. Just so happened to find out the wife was asking for a printer for Xmas from her mother so I quickly made sure it was one that was AirPrint compatible. I've also been wanting to update my old HP scanner so we decided to kill two birds with one stone.
