Cheapest AirPrint Compatible Laser Printers

Still working on this part..... Manufacturers don't seem to be in a big rush to add AirPrint printing capabilities to their lowest-cost monochrome printers under $100.

In the arena of AirPrint enabled color laser printers there's more options - but they aren't DIRT-cheap. However if you're willing to go in the $200+ price range your best option for iPad printing to a color laser is Hewlett-Packard's LaserJet Pro CP1525nw. Although HP offers a lower-priced and more compact WiFi color laser - it's not AirPrint enabled.

AirPrint printing is still a work in progress. Apple's implementation in iOS4 was rather half-baked. Those who've upgraded to iOS5 have a more robust Airprint capable handheld, and more and more App developers are implementing direct AirPrint printing into iOS Apps that need to print. Initially, HP was the ONLY company selling AirPrint printer solutions, but over the course of a year others like Epson and Canon are now implementing wireless AirPrint abilities in their newest models of inkjet AIO-MFP and laser print products.
