Steve Jobs on AirPrint: "It hasn't been pulled. Don't believe everything you read"

Update: here’s another one from reader Chris (pictured).

So that report last night of AirPrint being pulled from 10.6.5.  Yeah, it might not be true.

A MacForums member posted this purported email exchange with the Apple CEO:

Good Morning, Mr. Jobs:

As a release-day purchaser of an iPad, I was elated when you revealed iOS 4.2 would support AirPrint. Now comes reports AirPrint support has been pulled from 4.2. Between announcements/assurances of the white iPhone, and now the pulling of AirPrint, is Apple going to lose credibility and become known for announcing “vaporware”?

Respectfully,

<redacted>

El Jobs:

AirPrint has not been pulled. Don’t believe everything you read.

Of course there is significant room for interpretation there.  Being pulled and being able to only use certain HP printers are two separate things which Jobs doesn’t delineate.  We should know more by Friday, right?
