Though is was written ten days prior to iOS 4.2′s official release, most of what Mr. Dave Caolo has written still stands – apart from this little statement.

Here’s another feature I’m anticipating. I say don’t believe the rumors; AirPrint will have you sending files to printers on the same wireless network as the iPad upon release.

Apple has indeed shipped AirPrint with the inability to print to ‘shared printers’ on your local WiFi Network. Thanks to the guys at MacRumors for sharing this little gem: Printopia. A simple preference pane that allows your iPad to access any shared printer on your local network. Printopia ($9.99) also allows you to print PDFs directly to your Mac’s Dropbox folder, or your Mac’s desktop.
