Un-Cripple Apple's AirPrint with Printopia for Mac

Printopia

On Monday, Apple rolled out their latest software update for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. iOS 4.2 brings a handful of new and useful features to the big A's mobile line-up, including over-the-air printing. AirPrint makes it easy to print e-mails, photos, web pages and documents straight from iOS to your WiFi-enabled printer. Although the functionality has been a long time coming, many feel the final software is crippled by it's limited compatibility with existing wireless printers. In fact, to date there are only 11 products on the market which work with AirPrint, all of which are from HP

So if you, like us, are perfectly happy with your current print-out setup, you might want to check out Printopia for the Mac, a superbly simple $10 application that restores some function to Apple's crippled AirPrint update. Read on for our video demo, verdict and download links...
