I was complaining earlier that Airprint in iOS4.2 doesn’t currently support more than a few HP printers. Since we use Xerox at work and I use Brother at home I was not looking good.

Since then, [@PorthosJon][@pj] has pointed out a workaround called [Airprint Hacktivator][aph]. Essentially it’s a 262KB download which you unzip, run, turn on and then head to your System Preferences. Remove and re-add any printer you want to print to from your iOS device and be sure to tick the *Share this printer on the network* box.

That’s it. From now on you can print from your iPhone (or whatever). Emails, webpages, all sorts. Get printing!

*Be mindful of printing lots of course - wouldn’t want to kill too many trees just because printing is cool again).*
