iPhone, Airprint and HP F4580 all in one
I got an iPhone, running iOS 4. iOS 4 has a new functionality called Airprint, with which you can print to wifi printers. The iPhone is connected to our home wifi router. Our HP F4580 printer is also connected to our wifi router.
I should be able to print wirelessly from the iPhone to the HP, right?
Wrong.
Airprint only works on a selected few HP printers (according to the Apple page on AirPrint, a whopping 16 models in total), and on nothing else.
In comes Netputing's AirPrint Activator. Apparently, all it does is add one single line to the CUPS configuration on your mac; then you share the printer from your Mac et voilà: printing from the iPhone...
Now I think it's a bad move from Apple not to enable this by default.
