I heard that Air Sharing HD is the only app that supports true print to a wireless printer. Is that true? Also I heard it has to be a Mac shared printer. What does that mean? I have an HP wireless printer that I can print from my Dell laptop and Macbook Pro, does that mean its Mac shared? The main thing I want to print is Pages/Numbers docs, emails and Webpages.

I just tried printing a PDF file from air sharing. It did not see any of my 4 network printers. Three are brother and one is hp. Goodreader sees all 3 using bonjour, but it thinks they are file servers.
 
that sucks, I heard it was the easiest printing app. I'm debating whether to buy it now.

can you please specify more on how goodreader connects a printer using bonjour?

Goodreader sees everything bonjour sees and it tries to treat everything as if it was either WebDAV or FTP. It does NOT claim to print. Sorry I didn't make that more clear.
