So where is the Airprint icon? I updated everything and Airprint is missing? Where do I find it?
 
AirPrint is only compatible on an iPad, iPhone 4/3GS and iPod touch 4th/3rd Generation. Also, Mac OS X 10.6.5 is required (I don't know how it will work on a PC) and you need to have a compatible printer.

if you meet all the requirements, then their is no reason why it wouldn't appear.
 
I have 27 inch i7 iMac, iPhone 4 and HP Printer Photosmart plus. So don't know why it didn't appear on my iphone after updating it. :confused:
 
I think i know what the confusion is.

AirPrint isnt an icon on the home screen. Every app that supports airprint will have a function that leads to printing (eg: in safari, pressing the action button will bring up a 'print' option).

The Print Center icon you have probably seen on apple's pictures is only in the multitasking bar when something is being printed
 
I'm an idiot. Thank you for telling me. I had no idea.

I was looking for the Airprint icon but I see the printing option now. :)

Everything has already been updated. I am so use to everything being a Icon on my iphone home screen that I was expecting to see a printing icon. Also my printer is the newer HP Printers I bought from* Costco within the last 30 days. The color touch screen model. Paid $109 for it on sale regular price is about $149.

Thanks again Macfanboy.
