Well are you using a build that came out before today? Because that is the build i am referring to. I mean i know mac developers had access to the earlier builds and it worked. So i guess were talking about the build that came out today and iOS 4.2 GM.
Yes, and what printer are you using? Does it require Printer Sharing to be turned on? I have it on, with an HP Photosmart C309a, and it's a non-starter.

I believe you. But it would be better if you can post a video because I wanna share this news with my friends in Korea who wouldn't believe nothing until I show them a proof.
My guess: It works for those who had previous 10.6.5 builds installed. I updated from 10H568 to the officially released build 10H574 (didn't get around to play with 10H571 and 10H574 previously) and printing works for my Brother 7010L shared through my iMac on an iPad with 4.2 GM. There are, however, people who obviously don't get it to work, and from how it sounds, they went straight from 10.6.4 to the build released today.
Either way: I find it a pity that Apple would remove the functionality, since it worked okay, and it's not like anyone would _really_ require it for anything professional. Wherever you've got access to a _shared_ printer, you also have a computer that's sharing the printer and you could simply mail the document to be printed to an account that you can access from said computer. Yeah it's the workaround that was being used before, but removing AirPrint-for-shared-printers is certainly not in the same league as demoting the screen-orientation button on the iPads, which is really confusing if you got used to having that as a hardware option for months...
Thank goodness there is no printing. The idea of a tablet to me is that you don't have to print as you can just carry the device around with you like a piece of paper anyways. The time has come to go paperless.
That makes no sense. No one is forcing you to print. But some - and I am one - need hard copy for their job. I wish I didn't but I do. So I am really looking forward to printing wirelessly from my iPad.
I am running 10.6.5 on my mac. I am also running 4.2 GM because i have a developer account. IT DOES NOT WORK. My iPad & iPhone 4 can not find my shared printer that is attached to my mac.
Mine can! I had to go into my MacBook pro, turn on Printer Sharing despite my HP color laser being hooked into my airport via USB, and my iPad with 4.2 GM printed fine.. I swear to god.. Now, this 10.6.5 is not the one apple released, it's the delta release from a couple weeks back.

My wife is always printing recipes and coupons from her iPad running iOS 4.2GM... Ther are plenty of reasons to send something to the printer from an iPhone or iPad. How about boarding passes, move tickets, etc?
This is NOT the combo updater. A number of users have tried this and had their machines rendered unbootable.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS FILE, wait for a real link to the combo updater.
EDIT: The link in my post was NOT the link to the file, I intentionally removed part of it so it didn't work. Lundy, do you really think I'm that stupid? Come on, you could at least check to see if that was the link or not before having a complete hissy over something that was perfectly safe.
Printer was already selected - I cannot even select the printer, and your video did not show this. How is your printer connected to your network? Mine is via ethernet to Time Capsule...

Buh? And in this scenario what, exactly, are you to do when someone wants a document from you? Have them copy it from your iPad? Lend them the iPad? Email them a screenshot? This isn't a big deal given we don't currently have this capability, but it is a good thing to have, and I'm surprised someone would be excited to find this feature might not be available at the current time.

My network is setup the same as yours except I connect my printer directly to my TimeCapsule via usb.
Also, once you set up a printer, your device remembers it - that's why my printer was already selected.

Can't wait for it.

AirPrint is all the rage nowadays. Nobody cares if the new release feels snappier anymore.
Actually, I want to know if its snappier...

I can't find the Combo-Updater for the life of me... >.<
Just out of curiosity ... since leopard why opt for the combo updater?

Handy if you need to reinstall the update, faster if you are upgrading multiple machines.

Probably a printer that natively supports ePrint, and therefore Air Print:
From the horse's mouth:
What printers are ePrint enabled?
Currently there are three (3) printer models that support ePrint
D110 series for North America customers
B110 series for Asia and Europe customers
B210 series for customers worldwide
HP will announce additional printers that support ePrint in the coming months.
