FingerPrint 2.1 runs nicely on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, great way to allow iOS printing on your home or corporate network

Jul. 12 2013 Update:
Unfortunately, buy-it-once FingerPrint is no longer sold, replaced by Presto, which I haven't tested, but is reviewed by The Wall Street Journal here. This article kept for archival purposes only.

I routinely use FingerPrint in my home, and in other family member's homes, such as this iPad-centric household:
3rd Generation iPad displaces aging laptop for family member who mostly just surfs and emails, how’d it go?

FingerPrint allows iOS devices to print to most printer types, even those that aren't AirPrint compatible. There is no additional App you need to purchase since it works with native iOS print abilities, and can save you the cost of buying a new printer. Since it installs as an always-running background service, it's particularly well suited for always-on PCs or virtual machines. And so far, I haven't found a Windows OS, client or server, that it doesn't like. You'll see I recorded a lot of the tests back here and here.

Well, I'm happy to report that their latest press release forwarded below is indeed true: I had no issues with Windows 8 Pro 64 bit.  On another system, a version of Windows Server 2012 (called "Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate Essentials"), I adding the Print Server Role, then installing FingerPrint 2.1, that's it, all set, it works fine, pictured here:

November 2, 2013 Update:
Collobos has moved FingerPrint to a monthly subscription model, and renamed it Presto. I have removed all links from my shop buttons in the original articles, to avoid confusion, since I have not tested Presto. It is my understanding that prior versions still work, with the discontinued version still available for download (not purchase) here:
