Airprint not showing print range option

I have iPhone 4 with the latest IOS4.2.1 installed, also owns an HP cp1525nw laser color printer, updated the firmware to the latest. I can print from the phone with my phone, but the big problem is that the "Range" option is not there, so if I have a long document and I only wanna print page 1-2, it's impossible to do so since there is no print range option, can anyone help please?

Thanks,
Matt

When there is no way to tell where the page breaks will be, the page range control won't appear. So, printing an email or webpage doesn't allow you to choose the page range. Documents like PDF's have clearly defined pages, so you can choose which pages you want to print.

You can always provide feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/ if you don't think it works the way it should.

I just realized that this happens to both emails and safari web pages, but not for PDF, I do see Range for PDF document, is this the way it suppose to be? DO I have to print the entire email thread or the webpage since airprint can't tell the page boundaries for web page and emails?
