Here's the fix for AirPrint. Confirmed working on 10.6.5. There is no workaround currently for Windows operating systems. This fix requires both the 10.6.5 update and a networked printer.

  1. Download the file at the following link: http://cl.ly/3BmD
  2. Unpackage the .zip to reveal a folder with some codesheets and a readme.
  3. Drag the codesheets to their places using the instructions in the readme. You will need an administrator's password for this step.
  4. Go into System Preferences -> Print & Fax
  5. Remove from the list any printers you want to use on AirPrint.
  6. Restart your Mac.
  7. Go back into System Preferences and re-add any printers you want to use with AirPrint.
  8. Test, verify here, and troubleshoot with me if you need to.

*Note: This is not an official fix. Some printers may not be compatible. Generally, printers connected to a Mac via USB will work with AirPrint, though this is not true for all printers.

-OR-

Use one of the following applications to print:

AirPrint Hacktivator: (http://netputing.com/airprinthacktivator/)
Printopia: (http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/)
FingerPrint: (http://www.collobos.com/)

Old Files?

I followed the instructions, now my printer wont print at all. i should have backed up the files:


/usr/share/cups/mime/apple.convs
/usr/share/cups/mime/apple.types

before i replaced them but i didn't.

anyone know where i can the older versions from?


Cheers.

What sort of printer setup are you using? Also, make sure you copied all three of the files to your computer.
Brother HL 2140

tried it through Airport Express and direct USB to my iMac

I added 1 file and replaced the two i mentioned above.
drivers are fine. i printed fine 5 minutes before changing and adding the 3 files in package. now nothing happens.
yes sharing enabled in sharing settings and on the printer to share on network.

the files have created the issue.

can i get the files off my OSX 10.6.1 install dvd? only option seem to be full install which will no doubt wipe the HD.
Fixed

Perfect!

The time machine worked. I restored the /usr folder and restarted, i have a printer again.

Nice feature to restore only exactly what you need.

Thanks for the help.
Need for Windows!!!
