Yup. http://www.netputing.com/2010/11/11/airprint-hacktivator/

This is an app that must run on your desktop/laptop that has printing capabilities and then you can print from your iPad. I have a printer plugged into my Airport that all devices can print on but I must turn on a desktop (I do not have laptops) and run the app posted to print from my iPad.

Thanks, but my home computer is a Windows machine, the link you posted calls for a MAC if I'm not mistaken...
