printing from ipad

AirPrint Activator v2.2b2 is what I use on my iMac to provide AirPrint capabilities for my 5 iOS devices. It is free but you can donate versus FingerPrint which costs $10 and Printopia which costs $20.

Mac users also have an app store, separate from the iOS one: the Mac App Store. The word app has slipped into general usage for all platforms.

Yes I know, I have a MacBook pro that has been languishing and it's newer than my iPad. I really should use it more.

Ah. My mistake then. The terms have become so mixed up half the time I'm not sure what I'm talking about, let alone others.

I should have mentioned it, but I lost any reliable links to it.

I like the extra features and ease of installation you get with the paid solutions, but it's a matter of needs, cost, and preferences. I got Printopia because I found it first. Later I discovered it had a few more features more than FingerPrint. I don't know if that is still true.

As far as my Mac is concerned, I'm not up on it at all. So I can confuse myself with it very easily.

I really should learn all about it, it's such a waste otherwise. Just need time! And who has any of that?

The newest versions have an installer and uninstaller finally. And it is now part of the settings panel. The rewrite is fantastic.

Nice. Do you know if the Windows version has received any updates?

Can anyone make a recommendation on a high quality printer with onboard air net print capabilities?

You'll find all the AirPrint printers here. I have a HP 6510 and it prints straight from the iPad, love it.

At present it doesn't look like Netputing has a Windows version of Airprint Activator.
