Why is AirPrint only available to HP printers??
When creating basic functionality like printing why would apple limit the market to just include HP printers? Corporate partnerships like this are not in the best interest of the consumer.

*AirPrint was open to every printer manufacturer, only HP decided to adopt it. Contact Brother and ask them why they did not.*
I find it hard to believe that only HP adopted it. There must be other issues.
you're all wrong as HP hasn't even adopted it. only a small handful of their lame home printers support it. try running a business or school and only have lousy ink jet printers that can print from an iPad without some middle software trickery.
one option is to bite the bullet and get "print n share" from the app store and an iDisk account. any program that says it can print direct from an app is full of it. print n share could, but once apple found out the feature was gone!
you have to save the file to iDisk, then go to "print n share", browse to your iDisk account, pull up the document you want to print and then you can print.

Thank You, Thank You, John! I downloaded the Airprint Activator that you suggested and it works like a charm! A tad slow, but DOES work! I was somewhat regretting my recent iPad purchase thinking i would have to buy another printer just for the iPad but you saved the day!
I have a Macbook Pro, a Canon MP620 printer, and an iPad2.
Many thanks for the suggestion/help!
