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 you connect your device to Tiunes and check to see if there are any files in
    OSX: ~/Library/Logs/Crashreporter/Mobiledevice/<Devicename>/
    Windows: %appdata%\Apple Computer\Logs\Crashreporter\MobileDevice\<Devicename>
    specifically named OTA......
      Also for the failed itunes restore please attach the contents of the latest log in
    OSX:   ~/Library/Logs/<iphone or ipod or ipad> updater logs

    Best way is to use an AirPrint compatible printer:

    If your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you might want to take a look at Printopia.

    You can export the tracklist from iTunes.  You shouldn't be sending actual music to them since that would be in violation of copyright.

    Hi pampachomski,
    I'm a bit unclear on your exact configuration or the devices in question, but from your description it sounds like you may want to look into the new iCloud Photo Library feature:

  • How can I share contact list with another MAC

    How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

    Hi,
    There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
    A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
    Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
    With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
    (It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

  • How can I share my music with my wife's account?

    My family has multiple accounts on various devices (IPods, IPad) that share one IMac. How can I share the music on my account with my wife's account? My music doesn't show up on her account and vice/versa.

    I'm sorry to say, unless you're using apples pay service, that allows you to upload your own music, there is no way to do that. I'm assuming that the music you are talking about has not been purchased through them. If it has, then you can redownload it to any devices from within your app.
    I personally dont think its fair that you can't import music from your own online sources, but apple isnt in the busness of giving us what we want, just what will make them money.
    You could also look into some of the rare apps that have been allowed to slip through such as 8player or vlc. One of those might be able to pull from your own online source, but I cant say for sure, and its unlikely is will work very well. I personally have started using a third party cloud service to store backups of my music, that might be something to look into. 

  • Can I share itunes libtary with other devices under a different account

    How can I share itunes library (books) on another device that is in the same family , but a different account

    You can share music etc, you can't share iBooks, you would need to import the iBooks using homesharing to the library the device you want to use it on syncs with and then sync it to the device.

  • How can I share a playlist with another iOS device that they can play when they're offline?

    I have created a playlist in iTunes for someone in my family and have authorised him for home sharing. He can listen to the playlist when on our wifi at home, but how can he listen to it on his iPhone when he is away from home?

    What you are asking isn't possible as devices must be logged in to the same wifi and with the same Apple ID for Home Sharing to work.

  • How can I share a printer among a wired Mac and a wireless laptop?

    I find this extremely frustrating, but I can't figure out how to share my printer for the life of me.
    My Mac Pro is connected to my router and when my girlfriend is here she connects her computer to the internet via my router wirelessly/WiFi. She has 10.4.0 and I have 10.5.5. On both computers printing sharing is enabled. Shouldn't one of our computers be able to see the other on a network? Or is there something I'm completely missing? All I want is for her to SOMEHOW connect to my computer so she can print stuff and I dont have to go behind my computer, unplug the USB, and plug it into hers. Even though I am in the printer discussion area, I even want to be able to share files too. It should be relatively simple but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do and I can't even find any sort of "setup wizard" that directs me in the direction to go. Sorry but I've been using Windows for 10 years and I'm just completely lost in the mac world now Thanks

    Hello and welcome to the Apple forums.
    With regards to sharing your printer, you need to open System Preferences > Sharing and then tick printer sharing. In the right hand pane you will also be able to select which printer to share (if you only have one then it will probably already be selected). Now your partner should be able to open their System Preferences > Print and Fax and click the + button to add a printer. If they then select the Default browser view, your printer share should be visible. If it is not visible, then please reply as there may be other factors that are causing this.
    Also, with regards to file sharing, while you were in System Preferences > Sharing you would have seen Personal File Sharing. Enable this setting so that the other Mac can see your Mac on the network. If they select the Guest account when connecting to your Mac, the will have by default access to your Public folder for viewing documents and your Drop Box for sending files to you.
    One last thing. You mentioned the other Mac running 10.4.0. The latest version of 10.4 (Tiger) is 11. So, if this Mac is really at 10.4.0, then you may want to update it as this may contribute to compatibility issues between the two Mac's.

  • Can't share files/printer with Windows computer anymore

    I had a perfectly working wireless home network with a windows xp and dlink router but then I moved...now I got the internet working and I have the same setup but I can't get anything to print from my Macbook or connect to server to share files.
    how can I find out if all the setting are the same or what is causing the problem.
    MacbookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    More info please...
    Is the Printer on the Windows® machine I take it?
    Care to give us IPs of the various Computers/Routers involved?
    Were you printing via IP before or what?

  • How can i share itunes content with my family?

    I just got an iPhone and gave my sister my iPod touch. Is there any way can we share our apps/music with each other? I was going to use home sharing but from what I've read both users have to be on the same wifi network and we'll only be in the same house during the summer because she's in college.
