AirPrint problems, can't find printer

Anyone else having problems trying to print directly from the iPad? I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A. The printer works via wireless when connected to the pc, but yet the iPad can't find it.

EDIT: I just tried sharing the printer on the mac and the iPad still doesn't see it.

Yea, won't find mine either. Im guessing it has to be a real wifi printer not a networked one?

if its not a compatible airprint printer then you can activate airprint with this.

Mac only....ahhhhh

There is a windows version out there...check, the googles ;)

Is there a known list of AirPrint compatible printers?

I've heard Printopia is also a good solution for Mac.

Yea, I'll work on it. Im not too worried about it printing isn't very high on my priority list.

yes there is....a lot of the printing apps stopped working on 4.2 tho...like air sharing printer support no longer works...im guessing they will be using airprint.

I hope HP comes out with an update for most of the office jet series:
