All Automatic AirPrint/ AirPrint: How to add iOS printer sharing back to Mac OS X

Airprint All Automatic AirPrint

AirPrint appears to automatically select most options for the user. In AppleInsider testing, printing an email or similar document resulted in a standard printed page, while printing a photo selected the photo-sized paper tray and photo-quality printing settings on the (non-ePrint) HP 'all in one' model we tested against.

This highly automatic printing system makes it easy to create printed documents from content on mobile devices, at the expense of not allowing users (so far) to create customized print jobs. However, users on a mobile device are likely to prefer a simple, easy to use system that generally selects the most sensible settings for them, rather than forcing the user to wade through complex print configuration pages just to generate a printed photo or a hard copy of a document.
