Printing never "just works," does it? There always has to be some wrench thrown in. We were hoping Apple was about to solve some of that with
AirPrint, but at the last minute it left out the Mac printer-sharing functionalities that were supposedly going to arrive with
Mac OS X 10.6.5. That means as of right now the only way to do AirPrint with the yet-to-be-released iOS 4.2 is to buy one of those fancy new HP printers with the AirPrint-compatible
ePrint functionality. We're guessing Apple is just giving this feature a little more time in the oven, but if you're just too passionate about printing things to wait, the FingerPrint application from Collobos might fill the void. The $8 app shares just about any printer that your Mac can find over Bonjour and... well, that's about it. Some printers work, some don't, and there's a trial period to find out if it'll work with your particular setup. Too rich for your blood? There's
always the hack.
