We found a way to enable AirPrint on shared printers in Mac OS 10.6.5 (NOT 10.5!! I MADE A MISTAKE!) and are sharing it with you. Here is the link for the files you will need: http://cl.ly/3O9p

This will make AirPrint compatible with ALL printers connected to your Mac and shared over your network. There is no need to even have an HP printer to use AirPrint with this mod.

So place the files in the download in the following locations:

/usr/libexec/cups/filter/urftopdf
/usr/share/cups/mime/apple.convs
/usr/share/cups/mime/apple.types

(The last 2 files will need to replace the existing ones.)

You will then need to reboot.
After delete your printer from Print and Fax settings from System Preferences.
Then add your printer again from Print and Fax settings panel.

You Are Done!
