Am I correct in assuming that AirPrint doesn't work on a 3Gs phone?

Do you own a 3GS or more than one 3G (3Gs) ?

Sorry, I somehow thought you were talking about 3G. I misread the post.
Yes, 3GS should be supported.

Yes, a 3GS.
According to this, printers are limited, as are the apps that support printing.
I was expecting more. Oh Apple, how you disappoint.

One wonders: Why is Find My iPhone.app not 3GS compatible?

Do you actually have one of the rare printers that AirPrint supports?

It is compatible. It requires a mobileme account though. Find my iPhone is free with newer devices.

I've got an iPhone 3G. With the newest update, I don't get AirPrint, I don't get AirPlay, I don't get Find My Phone. What do I get, other than an ugly new icon for VoiceMemo?

Presumably a faster iPhone and a bunch of little bugfixes and security updates.
Oh and a free lunch, if you complain enough.

"Presumably a faster iPhone." Yeah, not such a good assumption anymore after the 4.0 debacle. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
According to this, I can now change the font in Notes and enjoy custom tones for Text Msgs.

Well I could always get it, if I was stupid enough to pay for MobileMe.

Considering 4.1 and 4.2 are supposed to mostly fix that and don't actually *remove* any functionality, I don't understand your point.
Right now it just looks like you're pissed at not getting additional functionality for free (though you can get Find my iPhone; you just have to activate it on a supported device).
The new Voice Memos icon is hideous, though, and grounds for abstention.

Printopia, Printopia lets you print from any print-capable iOS app to any of your Mac's printers. Printopia also makes it easy to "print to PDF," saving the resulting files to your Mac or to your Dropbox folder.

I really don't even know what I would need to print from my iPad or iPhone.
I rarely print, and if I have to, I can do that from my Mac. *shrug*

OK, so now I have to ask, is there a useful, simple way to get my iPhone and my wife's iPad to "see" our shared printers? I've done some searching, and come up with a few "possible" options, including pay-apps and dodges of questionable heritage (and perhaps legality). I don't want to pay $10 to do something that really should "just work" with this latest iOS update-except that I don't happen to own one of the eleven benighted HP wireless printers that AirPrint supports... And I don't want to goober up a bunch of stuff with a sketchy kluge that makes things work with any Bonjour printer but may not be precisely legal.
What should I do to print from our iOS devices?

I'd seen AirPrint Hacktivator, but I had sort of lumped it into the "no" category because of all the other "hacktivator" links I'd found... The other "sketchy solutions" I found seemed to be scripts based on what might have been proprietary information (developer files that were included or edited). I guess I'll give AirPrint Hacktivator a try.

Crud. It didn't work for me. At first, anyway.
The trick is that you have to DELETE a printer and then RE-ADD it before the hack works. And it works just fine, thanks.

One problem: for the printers to be shared, the computer that shares them has to be awake. Moderate bummer here.
Yes, I know "wake for network" will do the job (I tested it just now), but that also means that my computer may wake up at odd times and not sleep quickly-a mouse battery drain issue.

Supposed being the operative word there: 4.2 is back to being as utterly crap as 4.0 was on my 3G. I don't care that I don't get all the functionality that 3GS and 4G owners have, but I do care that my iPhone is really, really getting on my tits because of its terrible performance. It is now too late for me to roll back to iOS3 as I am using apps that are not compatible with it, and going back to 4.1 will make me lose too much data (and it wasn't exactly all that great a performer anyway). With the possible exception of iOS 2.0 this is the worst experience I have ever had from an Apple product, and I've been using Macs since OS 7.5 days... Yep, it is THAT ****ING BAD.
