IOS 4.2 Software Update Features for iPad
- gabea 16y agoThe reason I put this up here on Hacker News is that I did not know that they were going to be coming out with the ability to print from the iPad.
- ceejayoz 16y agoThey've been bragging pretty heavily about this feature for a while.
- erickt 16y agoThanks, I didn't know they were finally adding search to Safari either.
- tseabrooks 16y agoAny idea if the search feature will be added to safari on the iPhone? I've had quite a few instances where I wanted to search a page (usually wikipedia) on my iPhone.

- glhaynes 16y agoInfo on how to set up your Mac to let iOS devices "print" to a PDF through it: http://i.tuaw.com/2010/11/16/how-to-create-pdfs-with-your-ios-device/ http://i.tuaw.com/2010/11/16/how-to-create-pdfs-with-your-io... Requires hacking with currently released version of Mac OS X because there's some controversy about when/if AirPrint-through-a-Mac-or-PC will be coming. Some say it's cancelled, but that sounds kinda crazy to me: why even ship the feature on iOS if it's only going to be able to print to a small portion of HP's line of printers?
- xorglorb 16y agoWait, so air print won't even be able to print to a normal jetdirect or IPP printer?
- glhaynes 16y agoI believe that's correct: it supports HP "ePrint" branded printers directly and, maybe, any other printer attached to a Mac or PC with iTunes installed by going "through" the Mac or PC. It's because they don't want to start having user-installable device drivers on iOS (a laudable goal); I assume HP ePrint printers work because they speak something very PDF-like natively, though that's purely conjecture on my part.
