Can't print on air printer from my ipad at friends house

How do I print from my iPad on my friends air printer.

This works if I log in to the main network but not as a guest.
This makes sense. If you log in as a guest, the network host might not want you to see a printer (in the general case).

I don't think so. You simply need to log on to the network as a non-guest.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print onto a Canon 5350 (one of the printers ok'd by Apple) I am unable to change the print orientation from portrait to landscape. That is I change it in printer settings but no use.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print. The printer is a Canon MG5350 (on the Apple approved list) I have no difficulty printing but only in portrait format. I've tried changing printer preferences from my computer but even though the Canon accepts the changes it will not print landscape - can anyone advise please?

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Connect to a network printer for air print, after disconnect from the wifi iphone keep pop up a message saying the printer is offline. How do I disable this annoying message?

Hey ronniefai,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a prompt that your printer is offline. This may be due to a printing job that is currently in the queue. Are you able to see the print summary when following these steps?:
Viewing the Print Summary
You can view the Print Summary by double-tapping the Home button and swiping to the right to reveal Printer Center. Then tap Print Center.
Note: Print Center is available only while printing is in progress.

If so, see if you can cancel the job. If not, what happens when you re-connect to the network that the printer is on?
Thanks,
Matt M.

How can I print grocery store receipts from an iPad?

I run a natural food grocery store and am considering using iPads as our checkout device. (We currently use iMacs, which are nearly 5 years old now.) I think I could set up a nice system using FileMaker Go. I have done quite a bit of searching, and I don't see a clear answer as to how and whether I could print receipts on an industrial-quality receipt printer, wireless or otherwise, from the iPad. I'm not interested in anything that has a slow response time or requires printing through a separate computer (otherwise, I'll stick with using iMacs!). The receipts must be printed quickly and on the spot.
Apple's Camera Connection Kit appears to be a straightforward way to get a USB port onto the iPad, and I assume (correct me if I'm wrong) I could get multiple USB ports by attaching a self-powered hub to that port. So that should take care of the input devices, namely the barcode scanners and credit card swipes.
But it sounds like printing requires an additional application or a driver. I don't even have an iPad to test yet. Can anyone clue me in?

You cannot connect a USB hub to an iPad and you cannot connect just any USB device to an iPad via the Camera Connection Kit. The only supported printing from an iPad is using AirPrint which is supported by only a few printers, which won't meet your printing requirements.
I suggest sticking with iMacs, although I don't know why you don't use a standard cash register system.

How can I print out my contacts from my ipad

HHow can I print out my contacts from my iPad or iPhone?

Hi Ken, there is an app, Contact Sheet (http://itunes.com/apps/appiota/contactsheet) that will not only print your contacts, it can also print the pictures! This app can be used to back up, share, or extract information from your contacts. You can select which contacts to use by creating a group and you can choose which fields to include. So, for example, if you were creating a phone list to distribute to your bowling group, you could just include names and phone numbers and not include address or other information that people may not want shared. It can even be used to send group emails and group text messages. Please check it out!

This may help, but I do note that the printer you state is NOT on the airprint list. You may need to go to the app store and see if Canon has an app that will facilitate printing on a non AirPrint device.

Restart your router. Unplug it and let it reset.
While you do that you might as well power down the printer and restart the iPad / iPhone as well.
Power everything back up, and AirPrint should be restored.

HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

When I try to print a drawing imported from my ipad iphoto crops it. Is there any way to stop this?

Usual cause: printing at the wrong aspect ratio for the image - trying to print 5 x 3 in the shape of a 6 x 4 for instance.

I have cannon mx870 it's not listed as an available printer for air print. Why it's only three years old and it has wi fi.

Probably because it pre-dates Airprint technology. The fact that it has wifi doesn't change anything if it isn't an Airprint-supported printer

You need a AirPrint enabled printer for AirPrint to work.
