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:

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.

    how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com.  login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

  • How can I print from an iPad without using wireless?

    I'm in a situation where I need to print something from the iPad, but will not be in a wireless network. Is there no utility that allows me to go directly from the iPad to any printer? I haven't purchased it yet, so I'm willing to get pretty much anything to make this work.

    So you need a third party something to print. Either see if epson has an app, or look for a third party app like Print n Share, printcentral or printopia or others and use those to print.

  • Am in Europe (UK) with iPad. Comput er(Mac) at home. Bandought videos and iCloud storage, but still can not download all the videos. How can I get them to store in the cloud and come out a gain to my iPad? Need something to watch at night,etc. tx

    Hi all. I. Bought videos from iTunes and also bought the lowest amount of extra iCloud storage. I assumed the videos could be stored in the  cloud and called back automatically to the iPad when I needed them. They won't all download, Apple hasn't answered my call for help via e mail, and I don't know what to do. I deleted stuff from the iPad and got rid of some of the videos I'm not watching (hoping to maybe download them again later on).
    I don't get how the Cloud works, and I don't really know which article to read for info. HELP?
    thanks,
    Isabella

    Not all video is available for redownload. 
    Purchasing more icloud storage has nothing to do with itunes purchases.
    Itunes purchases ( the ones that are made available for redownload) are automatically available in icloud.  you do not have to purchase any icould storage for this.
    You should not delete anything.  you should always have a backup copy.
    Movies are only available for redownload in the U.S:
    Learn more about which content types are supported for iTunes in the Cloud by country, as well as where iTunes Match is available.

  • How can I set up my iPad to work wirelessly in New Zealand?

    We are going to stay at our parent's place in New Zealand, and they have only a very slow dial-up connection to the internet. 
    We want to take our Apple iPad 4, MacBook 4.1.1 and iPhone 4 and use them wirelessly while we are there.
    Last time we used the macBook to connect, but it was so maddeningly slow and we had to disconnect their phone, and  feel there must be a better way. 
    Does anyone know how we can log on via the ipad without having to go up to the local library?

    You need the first Internet connection in order to share another connection with the other devices. If you use the Mac and Internet Sharing, then the connection is only going to be as fast as that connection and maybe a little slower since you are all sharing that connection.
    You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear as the saying goes, you cannot speed up the connection by any magical means.
    You should be able to use the personal hotspot feature on the phone if the carriers there support it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4517
    You might want to look into a MIFI hotspot as well but once again, you would need some sort of plan for it in New Zealand.

  • How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

    How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
    (Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album.  That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing.  Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

    Thanks for your replies ckuan
    I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work.  It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer.  The folder structure is completely missing.  I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better.   Bye bye iTunes!!
    Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
    1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler.  Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler.  Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure.  OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files.  No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
    2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted.  iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library.  Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
    3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...
