“Due for a release ahead of iOS 4.2, Mac OS X 10.6.5’s key focus will be interfacing with iPhones, iPod touches and iPads running the new flavor of iOS, to allow them to print wirelessly to any printer on that’s connected to a Mac on the same WiFi network via Apple’s new AirPrint technology,” Oliver reports.

Oliver reports, “In addition, the 10.6.5 Update — which Apple will recommended for all users running earlier versions of Mac OS X Snow Leopard — will include roughly a dozen general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of a Mac.”
