Can't see shared printer with IOS 6 on ipad 3rd generation

I just upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to iOS 6.0 and now it won’t see the shared printers at my office. The printers are shared on a Mac mini server running OS X Server Lion 10.7.4. I can still see the shared printers and can print to them from a 3rd generation ipad with iOS 5.1.1.
Does anyone know what apple changed with iOS 6.0 that makes it where the shared printers aren’t showing up and what I might need to do to get them back working on my ipad with iOS 6.0?
Thanks -

iOS printing to a non-AirPrint printer is not supported. There's more information here: AirPrint 101
If you had iOS printing working through yout OS X Server then you must have had another piece of software running in the server emulating AirPrint. That software isn't compatible with iOS 6.

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.

Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

HP 2540 printer connectivity to iPad 3rd Generation via Samsung Galaxy S2 hotspot

I guess a more concise although apparently too long of a subject line would be:
Printing with an HP Deskjet 2540 printer from an iPad 3rd Generation using the hotspot of a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone
I'm trying to print documents from my iPad (3rd Generation). I have a Virgin Mobile hotspot, which is the network I am using on my iPad to connect to the Internet. The problem is, when trying to print while connected to this network, I cannot find my HP Deskjet 2540 wireless printer. However, once I turn off the hotspot and connect to the regular (non-hotspot) Wi-Fi network, the printing option appears. The reason I don't instead just print using the Wi-Fi connection is precisely because I intend to get rid of the Wi-Fi; so I'm testing the hotspot/printer/iPad connectivity to ensure I can print prior to canceling my Wi-Fi service.
When my iPad is connected to the hotspot network and I have the document I want to print open, I can't see the printer; however, if I close the document and go to the Wi-Fi setting of my iPad, I can see the different other networks available, including one called HP-Print-73-Deskjet 2540 series. I try to click on it, to see if maybe by accessing that network directly I could return to the document and print it, but it requires a password I don't have.
Now, the questions:
1) Is there a way I can find out my printer password?
2) Would accessing the printer network directly allow me to print documents and browser pages from my iPad?
3) Is there any other (perhaps even more simple!) way I can print from my iPad while connected to my Samsung Galaxy SII hotspot?
Thanks!

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I would look into using "wireless direct" since most HotSpots can't act as servers.

HT5176 How can I make a call from my new iPad(3rd generation) with wifi+4G

How can we make a call from iPad 3rd generation with wifi+4G?

You cant "Call" anyone. Its not a phone. You can facetime other IOS users. Setup facetime with your apple id in ipad settings/facetime. You can also download apps like skype in the app store.

Does anyone know how I can get skype (video call) to work on Ipad 3rd generation

I have tried to make a video call through Skype to a business relation (who did not have the possibility to use Facetime) on Ipad 3rd Generation. Did this using the most recent Skype app (which claims to have been updated for the Retina display). The app works all rigt, but the video doesn't. That is: I can see myself, but the other person can't. And I cannot see the other person. What have I done wrong?
Regards, Koos Woltjes, Netherlands.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Replace old router with WRT110 and now I can not see shared printer on network

Replaced a BEFW11S4 with a WRT110. Now I can not see a shared printer on the network any more. I have not changed anything on the computer that has the printer shared. I can see the internet on all the computers, but not the shared printer. can you help?

First which you need to check, is your printer is working Offline on your computer. In this case you need to Re-map your Printer on your Computers back again. First check if you have any Firewall or Antivurs Installed on your computer try to disable it and check if you are able to print from your computer. If not then try to Remap the printer on your computer.
Go to Network connections window and if you are able to see your computer name on which the printer is installed, then right click on the Printer and click on "Connect" or "MAP" once done you will be able to print from your computer.
Note down the IP address of the Computer on which you have Installed the Printer. (Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok, now in the command prompt type "ipconfig" and note down the Ip address, Then go to your other computer and Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and now in the Command prompt type "ping (IP address of your main computer) and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies. If yes, then again click on "Start - Run - type ( \\ip address of your main computer) and click Ok, and now you will be able to see your printer name then right click on it and click on "Connect" or Map, once done, now check if you are able to print from your computer.

How can I share a printer with iOS devices?

I'm using a Mini with Lion and would like to share my printer with my iOS devices. They will only see AirPrint devices of which I have none. Is there a way to configure my Mini to make it's shared printer available to my wireless iOS devices?

You can install applications like Printopia or AirPrint Activator. These will share your printer on the Mac to your iOS devices.

Can't see shared printer over wireless network

I currently have a newer HP F340 injet printer connected to my emac which is on a wireless network (Linksys) so that I can share internet connection with my MacBook Pro. Both are running Mac OS 10.4.8. When I try to print on my MacBook Pro, I don't even see the shared printer, in fact, there isn't even a separate chioce for shared printers. I used to have a Lexmark printer that actually worked on the network.

After following some advice from a different posting, I loaded the gimp print drivers and recreated the printer in the printer listing using the gimp printer. This worked! The only problem I had was that I had to load the whole Mac OSX base system and then the print drivers. This messed up my system and I had to reset a bunch of user preferences, etc. It took me a couple of hours.

Can't see shared folders with AFP protocol

Hi,
I have an home network, with 2 iMac and a Netgear (DG834PN) router.
When I try to share a folder with AFP protocol (Preferences > Sharing > Sharing documents),
I can't see it from other computer.

Just to dig in deeper with this. I'm having a similar problem (perhaps the same) as described above.
I'm using smbnetfs to mount a folder in my home directory to be my network neighbourhood. When I open it in pcmanfm I can see the work groups, and upon opening a workgroup it'll show nothing more. But in fact, when you open the terminal and do a ls -a you'll notice there are in fact folders corresponding to your computers in that workgroup. Browsing any further works flawlessly.
It's however a minor annoyance that pcmanfm doesn't seem to show them (you can however add a slash to your navigation bar and they'll show up there, rather weird). Has anyone found a way to solve that?

Can't see Shared Libraries with iTunes 7

I can no longer see shared music/libraries since I updated to iTunes 7. My roommate can but she can only see her own music. She has a Windows XP computer, I have a Mac Powerbook running OS X 10.4.7. Also, when I quit sometimes, it says people are connected to me. But I can't see that. Anyone know how to fix this?

hmm - this really sounds like your network is screwy - but that should affect iTunes 6 as well as iTunes 7. Let's do this quick test.
Download this software:
http://www.tildesoft.com/Files/BonjourBrowser.dmg
And double click on the application it puts on your desktop (Bonjour Browser).
It will put up a list of all the network services it can see. Look for the one called: "iTunes Music Sharing" & click on the little grey triangle beside it.
It should then expand into a list of all the iTunes Music shares it can see.
What is in the list? Anything? Do you see your roommate's computer? I assume you are in a dorm. Do you see other iTunes shares?

I can mount folders with smbmount and there are no problems but i would like to be able to see all the shared folders...
can somebody help me?
thanks!

Can't See Shared Printer

I'm having trouble printing to a printer shared by my Mac Pro running 10.6.8 from my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 Printer sharing is turned on on my Mac pro, they are connected to the same network, the MacBook via Airport and the Mac Pro via ethernet. I can quite happily swap files between them.
When I try to add a printer on the MacBook the Canon iP4300 simply doesn't show up under the list of available printers as I think it should do. ANyone have any ideas?

OK, I found out what the problem was. The CUPS server on the Mac Pro had 'Share printers connected to this system' unchecked so even though I had checked 'share' in Printing & Fax prefs nothing was being shared. To get to the CUPS interface I opened a browser and typed:
http://localhost:631/
The page opened and I checked the relevant box. The printer showed up immediately when trying to add one on the MacBook Pro and I have succesfully printed a page from there.

Why is my lock screen blurry? I can't see the picture with ios 7.2

my lock screen is bluury, the picture i set is bluury with 7.0.2

Or try this if the reset doesn't work.
Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
