![]() You run the installer, install the mobile gateway and configure it, tell it which printer you want to publish as such as an air printer, install the app on the iPad and it discovers them providing you have multicast enabled on your WiFI, the one in question today was a Meru one. I have done an install of EveryonePrint today, omg, this is one of the most easiest ways to get iPads printing via a Windows server if you just want to be able to print and not fussed about tracking and authentication, ideal for a primary school exactly where I did it today. I am yet to try FingerPrintIOS via PaperCut its on my list of things to try in the office this week. Has anyone used it and is so, how well does that work?Īny other suggestions, has anyone successfully rolled out printing on a large scale like this and managed to retain at least some sort of control over it? I've not been doing any evaluating yet, but a few options spring out at me.ġ) We have papercut for our printer/copier management and I know there's an app which works with this for printing, so how effective is that and how does it work? does anyone has experience of it?Ģ) I've some across Printopia which allows sharing of printers via an apple mac using the Air Print system Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone - Ecamm Network we have plenty of macs in the building that could act as hosts for this for each department, so has anyone used that and how well does it work?ģ) I've found this iPad Printing and iPhone Printing with EFI Fiery direct mobile printing and our Ricoh MFP printers are supported - as we have one of these per department it would be suitable. Thus far we have encouraged electronic sharing and sending of work via Dropbox/email/Webdav, but we are now being pushed to supply some form of printing ability from these devices as apparently it's needed. Printopia is a Preference Pane that’s basically a print server on your Mac.We have 450 iPads, but no printing solution for them. Firstly Printopia makes it possible to share a printer that is connected to your Mac so that it can be accessed by your iPhone or iPad.Īn iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (3G+) with iOS 4.2.x can then print to any printer you have connected to your Mac. The second option is to ‘print’ documents as PDFs which will then be sent to your Mac ready for use. I use Printopia as it was the only program that would work on my HP1020 LaserJet. The HP 1020 is not out of the box mac completable had to use the HP 1022 Drivers for it to work. HandyPrint works but only when i shut the computer off then restart it it then it prints the page. I went to Printopia tried the demo and it worked so went with it. Printopia works with your iPad or iPhone’s built-in printing capability. Just launch Printopia on your Mac, and you’ll be able to print from your device. In the corner of my office, on top of my filing cabinet, sits a cheap, reliable printer.Īlas, my trusty Brother laser jet doesn’t support AirPrint. This means even though my iPhone and iPad have the option of printing, they can’t “see” my printer and therefore can’t print to it.Īdditionally, Printopia can “Print” to any folder on my Mac. Printing to a folder is just like the “Save as PDF” options in your Mac’s print dialog box. Using Printopia to print to a folder means that whatever it is you’re printing gets saved as a PDF to that folder on your Mac.īut! There is a solution that doesn’t requiring buying a new printer (though it might be worth it for the toner). There are some 3rd-party applications that you can install on your Mac to enable printing from your iPhone or iPad. ![]() These apps work by sharing the printers your Mac has access to and allowing iOS to see those printers as being AirPrint enabled. Thus bridging the gap between your iPhone and iPad and the printer. There are a few decent apps that give you this functionality (and some include more features than other). Of the options out there, Printopia is my favorite. Of the apps I tried, Printopia is clearly the best AirPrint enabler out there. If you want to start a discussion, keep it civil and articulate. Discussing situations of harassment/stalking to inform the community is tolerated, as long as the details are kept to a minimum. ![]() No asking for subs or viewers as well.9.) No Loli/Pedophilia images or discussion.10.) No wall-of-text/rants about why you hate a certain character/mechanic/feature. This includes shit-posts and obvious baits.11.) No witch-hunting. ![]()
