I have an old 10.6.8 machine with a printer connected to it via USB, and I'm 
trying to get AirPrint to work on it so that I can print from my iPad. I 
followed these instructions to the letter:

http://www.simonblog.com/2011/02/08/how-to-enable-airprint-with-any-printer-on-windows-or-mac/

... but my phone still says "no AirPrint Printers Found" when I try to choose a 
printer.

The weird thing is that after deleting the printer queue and rebooting, it gets 
added automatically as soon as I plug in the USB cable (and shows up in 
Print&Fax Preferences as "Idle, Last Used"). Seems like the pref panel is 
somehow caching the printer entry in a way that survives the remove/reboot step.

I'm aware that there are third-party utilities to re-enable AirPrint on 10.6.8, 
but I'd really like to understand why this isn't working. Does anyone have any 
experience with this?

Thanks,

-H
