Are there specific settings to the Firewall that I should be making to enable Apple's Airprint for a WIN 7 system to communicate with my Dell Win 7 machine? Install of Airprint goes fine, but I can never access a printer via my iPhone 4s.
Any tricks, tips, hints? Anyone succeeded in making it work?

I installed (manually) the SW that is available from Javox.com http://jaxov.com/2010/11/how-to-enable-airprint-service-on-windows/
Install goes without a hitch, never get a peep from the Firewall (only running the Norton firewall) - just can't make a connection from my iPhone 4s - no errors - just says that there are no AirPrint printers found.
HI festone46,
That's what I thought. This isn't actually a problem with the Norton Software, but rather that Airprint for Windows (by jaxov) doens't support iOS 5.x as of now.

It looks like in the comments there are some folks trying to get it to work with iOS 5. I would check those out and see if it helps.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I will follow up on this post if I find a way to get it all to work.
Thanks again, Frank

I did not get AirPrint by Javox to work BUT - a small company Collobos Software markets a product called FingerPrint ($9.99) that allows you to use a free trial. Downloaded it, made a few permission changes and off it went. Works like a charm. Not free like the other software but it does work.

i have been trying to get Airprint work wit my Iphone 4S and Windows computer in which i have connected the Printer. The printer is shared and can be accessible from windows computers but it wont allow me to acess from Iphone 4S via Airprint. I tried to get help from here. At last it finally allows me to work properly.
Fingerprint worked great until I updated to their "improved" version today. Now it doesn't work at all. Any hints on what I need to do in Norton to let it connect?i
Hello HenryR,
You'll need to contact the makers of Fingerprint to get assistance with their product.
