Has Apple removed support for shared printers AirPrint?

A report says Apple could have canceled the support offered AirPrint to shared network printers through a Mac or a PC.

On launch day we read:

"AirPrint is the powerful new printing architecture that shares the simplicity of Apple's IOS needs no installation, configuration, printer drivers or software to download. IPad users, iPhone and iPod touch have only to place the finger printing documents and pictures wirelessly to an HP ePrint or a shared printer with a Mac or PC "- Philip Schiller, senior vice president of Marketing Apple Worldwide Product.

However, many developers have realized that for some days, Apple has removed all references to this option through Mac OS X 10.6.5 and PC as well as in the readme files and documentation for the line.

In addition, a developer who has contacted Apple Tech Support has received a reply which allegedly confirmed the news:

"Support for Windows and Mac AirPrint has been canceled. We will keep in touch with you if another opportunity in the future. "

Obviously this can not confirm until iOS Mac OS 10.6.5 and 4.2 are among us but for now, the thing looks pretty bad.
