Updated the router to a new N series and everything is working as it is supposed to.

The Ecamm way is very stable, it works with printers connected to a router/switch/hub as opposed to having to be connected to a computer. It will work with all future versions of OS X (assuming that Ecamm keeps it up-to-date) where you are relying on the developer of the free hack to keep the hack up-to-date. If the hack were Open Source that might not be such a bad thing, but I don't believe it is. So yes, you could go the free buggy route. However, we are talking $10 here. Not $100 or $1000. I really find it astounding that so many people complain about such measly amounts of money. $0.99 for iPhone games are way to expensive so they steal them, etc... I just don't get it.

There is a System Preference called "Printopia" by Ecamm that allows you to access any printer via AirPrint. It costs $9.95 and works perfectly.
