Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme?

Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme 802.11n ?

iOS devices use AirPrint to print directly to a printer. That would require a printer that is AirPrint-ready. Unfortunately, just connecting a non-AirPrint-ready printer to the USB or Ethernet ports of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), will NOT enable it for AirPrint.

  • Can you print from an iPad using airport Extreme?

    Do you still need to use a third party software (I.e. Printopia) to send a print file to my Samsung printer via Airport extreme router?

    You might note the * (asterisk) here and be aware of the fine print at the bottom of the Apple advertising page.
    Just a small detail like the printer must be AirPrint compatible.
    See this Apple document to see if the printer is AirPrint compatible

    If the printer is not AirPrint compatible, then Printopia might work

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

  • Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express

    Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express?

    Is the printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express?
    If yes, Apple does not support printing from the iPad in this manner. Try another App like Printopia which should allow the iPad to print. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether this will work.
    Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    Is the printer connected to the AirPort Express using wireless only?
    If yes, you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. See if your model is AirPrint compatible in this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer model appears, the printer may need a firmware update to enable the AirPrint feature. Contact the support folks at your printer manufacturer.
    If the printer does not appear, try Printopia as above.

    You might be able to get the iPad to print to the HP by installing an App like Print Central on the iPad.
    There are no guarantees that this will work, so worst case you will be out about $10 U.S.

  • Can I print from my iPad using wifi

    Can I print from my iPad using wifi thanks

    I know I can use Airprint and other solutions; that wasn't the point.  That will no doubt work from home but what use is that to me in other location?  I'm looking to print online purchase receipts, customer receipts, photos, emails etc.  Chances are I'll be doing all that from my PC anyway and will stick to that.  Why would I want to email my local printer and wait till it gets back to me?  And why would I want my PC on just to print?  Why wouldn't I just print direct from the PC?  I'm missing something here.   Why overcomplicate a direct process? 
    Would you be saying the same thing if mountain lion removes print access and you're told to use airprint?  No you won't!
    I want to print emails etc from my ipad as I wander different offices, or different houses.  That other software did it (at a price I wasn't acepting) and I would assume someone else will build it in eventually,  I have to ask why Apple want this controlled through one channel (largely) and can only see it as another tie-in to some money garnering solution in due course.  It can't be processing or memory limitations as its 64Gb and Apple tell me it's a powerful gadget. 
    Time to see what my Asus will allow....  can't be this bad surely, but you never know.  Trusty networked HP6 laserjet (via jetdirect box) and Oficejet8000 (duplex) aint going to be replaced in the near future.  Trusty workhorses do all I want, efficiently, effectively, and cater for 4 users in this home.

    Your printer may not support Airprint.  Attached is a how to from Apple for Airprint.  If you click on the link for HP supported printers, the HP 6500A is listed, not the HP 6500.

  • I cannot print from my iPad using airport express. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to airport express thru USB port. My laptop can print with no problem thru the express unit. My lap top is no a mac.

    Good day, my iPad does not seem to pick up my printer. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to my airport express thru the USB port. My laptop which is windows type connects to the printer via airport express thru bonjour and this work well. My iPad does not pick up my printer thru the airport express. I have read about different software that you can download but this seems to be only if you are using a mac. I know my express is working fine as I can use airplay thru my iPad. Any ideas? I do not want to go to the expense of changing my printer, when there was no mention in the express details that your printer had to be AirPrint compatible or indeed wireless.

    See this article to learn how to print from an iPad to your USB printer when you have a PC.  The PC will need to be running when you want to print from the iPad.

  • Can you print from the iPad?

    I ordered my iPad on 6/7 but won't get it till 6/24, its on back-order, DARN!! Anyway I have what may be a silly question: Can you print from the iPad using a USB cord from the printer? I pay bills online and like to have a hard copy of the receipt. Really looking forward to getting it.

    To gloworm: regarding working with only one app open at a time, that should be taken care of when OS4 is available for the iPad - supposedly in the fall. As for using Air Sharing to print, you have to 1st get your files into the app via wifi from your computer. I have Air Sharing for both my phone and iPad and really like it. Once your files are in the app you just bring them up and touch the bottom left corner of iPad to bring up print. You can then print to any shared printer. I also use PrintCentral and like it for printing as well.

  • How can I print from my ipad? Printer is wireless and comes up with no airprinter found

    How can I print from my ipad using a wireless printer? Printer is listed but comes up no airprinter found

    iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

  • Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area

    Can you print from an iPad 2 using 3G in a home with no other computer or wifi by using an iPhone 5 hot spot connection if the printer has been set up in another place with live wifi? I know this question is loaded but my dad lives in a rural area and is wanting a printer to use occasionally. He doesn't want to deal with a computer and I keep his iPad updated for him at my home.  Please shed some light on this for us PLEASE. Thanks

    In that case, it should be possible. I haven't tried this directly, but I believe it should work.
    You'll need to get an actual AirPrint compatible Printer.
    Check here for a list of Printers you can choose from.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Once you have the compatible printer, using the Hotspot feature from the iPhone he'll have to create the Wifi bubble form the iPhone, and connect the Printer to that Wifi network.
    Then connect the iPad to that same Wifi network provided by the iPhone. When all that is done, the printer should appear in any of the Apps that can Print under the Action Arrow button.
    For instance in email, pressing the action arrow should show a Print option. In there the printer should appear.
    Alternatively you can simply buy a wireless router and setup the network through there even if there is no internet attached.  Connect the wireless printer to the router network, and connect the iPad or iPhone to that same wifi network to print.

    You said HP in your post title and Epson in your body text, but I think it is actually an Epson Artisan 810.
    If that's right, then the free Epson iPrint app should work for you - it lists your printer as one that it supports: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/epson-iprint/id326876192?mt=8
