AirPrint, is one of the features of Apple’s iOS 4.2, which lets iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users easily print documents or photos over Wi-Fi to a printer connected to the same LAN as their device without needing to use other software or apps. The catch is that, at launch, AirPrint only supports printing to 10 select HP printers.
Here is the full list of printers supported by AirPrint:
- HP Photosmart eStation
- HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One
- HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One
- HP Photosmart e-All-in-One
- HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One
- HP ENVY100 e-All-in-One
- HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf
- HP LaserJet Pro CM1415f, and
- LaserJet Pro CP1525.
Although AirPrint will only permit printing to these select HP printers, Apple has said that compatibility will eventually extend to printers from other manufacturers. Until then, users will have to rely on apps from those manufacturers, as well as third-party apps.
