OK, the fact that you only addressed that part of my posting means
that I'll stop here. None of your earlier suggestions has seemed
sensible to me or advanced my understanding of AirPrint. (Notice "me":
I'm not claiming to know what others think.)
You write "Is Airprint free?". Is this a real question or a pointed
remark designed to create more discussion? I can't tell. Why don't
you just look it up?
You write "not from me, but from others, may be." Perhaps you
might google the following phrase. That's what I think.
"creating an impression that a specific and/or meaningful statement has
been made, when only a vague or ambiguous claim has been communicated"
Cheers,
David.
