still it's probably more of a limitation that the ipad has no easy way to install (or remove) these drivers, and that it would be yet another platform for hardware manufacturers to support (or ignore like so many do with the mac). it's just easier for apple to stay out of it entirely, let you print from your desktop.

ALL the drivers (for every printer) are 3GB. Because they don't know what sort of printer you have, OSX ships all of them rather than have people download their own and install them themselves.
