AirPrint on non supported (shared) printers- HowTo OS X 10.6.5 Build 10H574

What you might want to try (I found that on a German Blog some hours ago):

From *System Preferences* remove existing printer(s)

launch AppleScript editor
cut&paste the following 2 lines:

*do shell script "echo '# enable AirPrint*

*image/urf urf (0,UNIRAST<00>)' > /usr/share/cups/mime/airprint.types" with administrator privileges*

run that script and enter your admin pw

This will create text-file @ /usr/share/cups/mime/ that will (should) re-enable AirPrint support again (at least on the current build of OS X 10.6.5 10H574), which can easily be removed.

reboot

add printer(s) again + share them through *System Preferences*

Keep in mind that this patched MAC (OS X 10.6.5 Build 10H574) must be up and running in order to use AirPrint!


It works for me, but if it doesn't work for you for whatever reasons: *failure is always an option!*

Your settings show imac with 10.4.10 now.

To use the patch that Kay provided open the AppleScript program under Applications > Utilities.

Copy the two lines of code she has in her post and paste them into AppleScript. On the top menu of AppleScript click on Run and then enter your admin password when prompted to do so. Then Restart your computer.
