Can new iPad connect to printer via USB?

If now I have an 30 pin to USB converted can I connect my iPad with printer via USB cable, because my printer is not support wifi or Bluetooth function. If can do I need install what suitable app on my iPad to find or connect my printer?

The iPad only prints via Wi-Fi to printers that support AirPrint. Here's a website on AirPrint that includes a list of supported printers.

    What is the difference between connecting a printer via USB or Ethernet ?

    When a Printer with an Ethernet connector is connected via Ethernet, it becomes a peer device on your Network. It is available whenever it is on for all users on your Network.
    When connected via USB, it relies on your computer to "Share" it onto the local Network. It is only available when the attached computer is on. It takes resources from that computer to facilitate printing for any User.

  • Can't connect to printer via usb print server

    So I've tried to connect to an EPSON stylus printer from my iMac via a print server with no success.
    Here's some info to help focus the questions/help:
    iMac running Mavericks, Epson SP R200 printer, Belkin Play router, Toshiba Satellite laptop, Level1 USB print server
    Win8.1 laptop prints via print server just fineso IP, port, firewall issues on router/print server side are ruled out.
    I have the fire wall off on the iMac
    I've quadruple checked IP and subnet numbers of iMac to rest of network, and they all jive.
    I can pull up the config page of the print server via Safari on the iMacso connectivity is there
    I previously had the printer attached directly to the iMac, and successfully printed.
    I've tried to add the printer via IP > LPD method AND Advanced > Windows printer via spoolss
    I can get as far as adding the printer, but as soon as I attempt to print a test page the printer has a "filter" error, or some "color" error, the job just goes into nothingness, or the job just sits there and the que is paused.
    This is very frustrating to put it nicely.

    What driver are you using? - Don't know if you remember, but you had to be using Gutenprint, because Epson's driver for USB-only printers, only works via USB.

  • Centro can no longer connect to PC via USB

    I bouhght a new PC recently and since then I can not get my Centro to connect to the computer via USB.  Ive installed the software and driver and it still says no driver detected whenever I plug it in. Its also popping in and out of the device manger screen like its keeps getting unplugged andplugged back in . Ive tried both the cd driver and downloadable one.
    Im running Win7 now, but was using Vista64 Home Prem when I first got the computer..
    I never had any problem on my old cpompuer which was running Vista32 Home prem
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hello JalenTigh, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    Unfortunately, Palm Desktop software has never had a driver for any 64-bit operating system.  This has been true for XP64, Vista64, and now Windows 7 64bit.
    If I could direct your attention to the Windows HotSync section of this forum you will find many large threads discussing your issue at the top of the section.
    You will only be able to sync via a Wireless connection - on your Centro, this would be via BlueTooth.

  • Can't print via USB using my Officejet 4635 from iMac running 10.6.8

    I bought this HP Officejet 4635 all-in-one printer yesterday and can't get it to print via USB.  I have an iMac running OS 10.6.8.  So far I'veI tried all the suggestions I could find on these forums (ex: downloaded the latest driver, unplug/replug the power, unplug/replug the usb, delete and "ADD PRINTER" again, etc....) The computer does recognize the printer, but shows "Unable to send print data" after I click on print.  I know that the printer works fine because I was capable to email the document directly to it's personal email address.   Please help!

  • New Officejet Pro 6830 will not print via USB connection. It scans great to PC. It copies.

    New HP Officejet Pro 6830 for user to have local USB printer/scanner at desk.  User runs win 7 64 bit on a network.  Raninstall through setup.exe.  Followed steps, connected printer via USB when it said to and it detected it and finished install.You can use HP Scan software and it scans to the PC perfectly.  It will not print from any application or even a testpage from the Printer Properties page.  If you go to the maintenance application it will print status and test page.  If you run HP Scan and Print doctor it does it's thing, gives all Green Check marks and lets you print a test page fine, but it stillwill not print even a test page from the printer properties page (start/Devices and  Pritners/right click on Officejet Pro 6830, select Printer Properties for Officejet Pro 6830 (not the Fax 6830), and click print test page.   It does not seethe printer.  It is a networked PC and has network defined HP network printers as well but user wanted a printer/scanner at his desk.   I actually took the unit and connected to my laptop which is same win 7 64 bit platform and it does the same thing.   I disable the virus protection to do the install so that is not an issue.  It clearly sees and installs the printer, andlike I said the HP Scan works fine so it is connected via the USB to the PC, but it will not print.   I have tried to install from the CD, and removed device and tried to install from the new downloaded drivers as well and it just does not want to print.I have conected to different USB ports, and like I said actually tried it on a different PC and had same results. Guidance certainly would be appreciated.

    Hi , I see by your post that you can scan, but are unable to print over the USB connection. I would be happy to help you.
    I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help. If the issue persists, reinstall the printer on the Administrator Account to see if you have the same results.Unlock Hidden Administrator Account and install the printer on this account:  Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD. CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'. Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter. Next, close CMD and restart your computer. When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it. If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked.Under the Administrator account, install the printer software. Test the printer. To turn off the Admin account start back at step 1 and type in net user administrator /active:no.Please let me know the outcome. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 - connect to pc via USB, can I print from android tablet as well?

    Hi,
    I've just bought a HP Deskjet 2540 all in one printer.
    I have set it up via USB connection to my windows 7 pc, and it is printing fine.
    I also have an android tablet.  Can I also print from this whilst using the printer via USB on my pc.
    Any help on if this is possible and what steps I need to do if it is would be appreciated (I have been reaeding the help section on the website but I am just getting more confused).
     Lesley

    Hi @Lesley54R,
    You don’t need to have the printer listed with the two different connections unless you’ll be switching back and forth from being connected by USB cable and wireless.  You can delete the one you don't think you'll be using.
    To print the web page, please use the browser found within the app. I’ve included the ePrint Mobile App FAQs document for your reference.
    In addition I’ve also included the ePrint Product Specifications document. This document has the list of supported email programs, file types and print limitations.
    Hope this helps!

    Do the same thing your doing to get each computer on the Internet, one takes turns connecting the cable.
    If you want both computers on the Internet and printing at the same time, that's what a router is for.
    Just sub one of the PC's above for a printer and you see the idea how it all works.
    A Airport Express is Mac friendly method, but if you have computers that have no wireless capability then you will need a Airport Extreme for the Ethernet outports.
    You can also buy a third party router from the PC store, that works too, but it's a bit more complicated and you have to install your own firmware updates manually, no Airport Utility to do it for you. But you save money.
    The important thing is setting up the router securely, WPA and WEP are both cracked. New Mac's don't even support WEP encrypted because it's worthless and false security.
    What you want is:
    WPA(AES) Personal with two passwords, each 20+ random letter, number, symbol characters in length. One password is used for Internet access only the other for Admin router access only, this way a user can't crack the router.
    Turn off remote access, don't use hidden network or MAC Address filtering, no defense.
    The long passwords are needed to defeat brute force attacks using video card based software, this type of password will take thousands of years to crack.
    You can learn more about wireless networking online, have a local PC/Mac guy set you up.
    Your computers are much more secure behind a router than directly connected to Internet as the router is a dumb switch, like a large security guard, only allowing certain things to pass and beating down others who try.
    Also you don't wear out your Ethernet port like what your doing now connecting the cable all the time.
    Good Luck

  • Am considering buying a Time Capsule.  But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection.  Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule.  I assume yes...?

    A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
    The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
    Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

    i have just downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes.  Now when i connect my ipad to my computer via USB, itunes states that the apple mobile device service cannot be started because of an unknown error (1058).  The connection worked fine with the previous version of itunes.

    Did you get an error message when you did the standalone AMDS install? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Why can't I print to wireless printers after printing via USB?

    We're all wireless in my office. I can print to any number of nearby printers with no problems EXCEPT AFTER I print to my personal Epson printer via USB. I've tried turning my computer on and off, and I've also tried switching to another wireless network and switching back. I still can't print to the other wireless printers. The "Nearby Printers" list doesn't even show up in the Print menu after I use my Epson. In System Preferences, the Print & Fax menu of Hardware clearly shows my computer sees the printers on the network, but when I send a print job it says the printers are "offline". Is something affecting my drivers after printing USB? Ugh!

    This is an issue for your office IT guy.

  • I cannot find the 'WPA passphrase' to connect my printer via wireless and cannot find it in Airport utility (MAC says it cannot find any open airports)

    MAC OS X 10.6.3 - desktop Mac
    I browsed similar questions and saw that someone recommended going to the Airport Utility and then selecting manual set up or something- anyways, it could not find any airports. I have brought my printer from my house as my BF's has died - this is the first time it's asked for a WPA passphrase. We tried a very long series of capital letters and numbers as well as the password for the internet and both times the printer said "invalid passphrase"..... ......

    Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
    I think they're using ethernet.
    To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
    We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
    If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
    What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

  • HP Photosmart B110a constantly goes offline and won't print via USB either

    Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8
    HP Photosmart B110
    I've connected the printer to my wireless network without any issues, but when I first tried to connect my macbook pro to the printer, it would keep disappearing from the network. Once I finally managed to connect it, every time I go to print something now, it will always say it is offline. Even when I try and bypass the wireless connection and connect via USB, it will still say it is offline. 
    I've have tried reinstalling the printer and driver many times, and I've tried connecting 2 other macbooks via the wireless and all experience the same issue. It is starting to get incredibly frustrating having to reinstall the printer over and over again.
    I would appreciate a solution that would prevent it from always going offline, even If I have to give up the wireless 'feature' and permanently print via USB. I do not have time to continuously fiddle with the settings every single time I need to print a document.

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Connecting a Printer to USB and AirPort Express Simultaneously

    I have a Samsung laserprinter - the only connection on it is USB. I currently have this connected to a XP laptop.
    Aswell as connecting it to my XP laptop, I wish to share the printer around the house. The other computers around the house are a combination of Macs and PCs.
    It sounds like a strange request - but - I want to be able to connect the printer to my laptop and to the airport express (for the sharing part) at the same time.
    I notice around the web that there are several devices you can buy, which are effectively USB 'splitters' for connecting a USB printer to 2 USB computers at the same time.
    Could I use one of these 'splitters' in conjunction with the AirPort Express? In that way, I'd be able to connect the XP laptop to the printer via USB, and the rest of the house would share via the USB/Airport connection.
    (Incase anyone asks, the XP laptop is on a different LAN network to the rest of the house, hence the problem).
    Has anyone tried this? If so, can anyone recommend a make/model of such a 'splitter' that is proven to work with the AirPort Express?
    (Or even better, maybe there is a device out there somewhere that does this without having to buy 2 devices).
    Thanks,
    Brad

    USB is not designed to have two controllers at a given time. Therefore I would not trust one of these devices. It may damage the USB port on your laptop or the AirPort Express (AX).
