AirPrint allows for iOS printing on a select number of HP printers. Well, that list just got a little more competitive thanks to a Canon. This marks the first non-HP option for AirPrint. Previously, users had the choose of HP laser printers or HP all-in-ones or, you know, HP photo printers. Now, the PIXMA MG8220, MG6220 or MG5320 all support wireless iOS printing, which makes the world a better place.

Canon also announced that from here on out, AirPrint will be supported on the majority of PIXMA inkjet printers. This follows Epson’s release stating that its Printers would be AirPlay-friendly in the near future as well.

Next up, hopefully, is universal wireless print support for Android devices. Hopefully. Maybe. Probably not.
