If you have an iOS device and an HP printer, you might have been disappointed to find out that even though the HP printer uses AppleTalk (the protocol behind AirPrint), you can't actually print to the printer from you iOS device. This has been one of the main reasons my wife hasn't completely abandoned her desktop PC.
Here's how I fixed it:
Use a little utility called AirPrint installer. It installs a windows service that reshares the printers from your Windows PC using AppleTalk (the version that is compatible with iOS 6). I tried doing it without the reg fix, but the printers wouldn't work. After the reg fix, sure enough, I saw the two printers I have connected to my PC but they both had padlocks. I used the recommended fix (enabling the guest account on my pc) and they started working.
