“Apple on Wednesday released Mac OS X 10.6.5, the latest security and maintenance update for its Snow Leopard operating system, but documentation accompanying the release made no mention of AirPrint,” AppleInsider reports.
“Apple’s official documentation on Mac OS X 10.6.5 mentions a number of fixes and improvements,” AppleInsider reports. “But the latest version of Snow Leopard was also supposed to enable wireless printer sharing with devices running iOS 4.2.”
AppleInsider reports, “Rumors cropped up this week that Apple could delay that support. It was also expected to arrive for PC users with the forthcoming release of iTunes 10.1.”

Dan Moren reports for Macworld, “One of the most significant and anticipated additions to iOS 4.2 (due this month) is AirPrint, a feature that enables wireless printing by iOS devices. But it’s starting to look like some aspects of AirPrint may not be operational when iOS 4.2 arrives.”
“Some reports suggest that Apple may have scaled back the capabilities of AirPrint, removing the ability for Macs and PCs to share their local printers with iOS devices,” Moren reports. “(Nobody is questioning the status of AirPrint’s ability to print directly to a limited number of HP printers, which apparently remains solid.)”
Moren reports, “Originally, Apple said that not only would the AirPrint feature allow users to print directly to compatible wireless printers to be offered from HP, but users would also be able to print to shared printers available on their Macs and PCs.”
