How to print from iPad not connected to network?

I'm building an HTML5 app packaged with Cordova, and I have a requirement to print from the app when the device (iPad 2, wifi only) is disconnected from a network.
As I understand things, I can't use an AirPort printer because that would require a subnet (i.e. a wifi connection).
The only other option I can think of is a bluetooth printer - but there don't appear to be (m)any options to integrate via Cordova without writing my own plugins... and I'm not a ObjC developer.
Can anyone think of creative options?

This is a topic that might best be posted to the developers forum.
I would have to agree with Steven, however, I have never heard of an app that is able to access print services via bluetooth from an iOs device. Not saying it is not possible, but you would need a printer capable of accepting the signal via bluetooth as well. I suspect niether is a trivial problem to solve.

    That printer is not on the list of approved Airprint printers.

    You will have to use a universal printing app, such as Print Central or Print n Share.  Look in the app store for printing options.

    That printer does not support airprint. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356 for lists of Airprint capable printers.
    You will have to print with one of the many print apps. Canon has some in the App Store.
    There are many other print apps as well:
    PrintCentral
    Print n Share
    etc.
    Check the App Store.

  • Moving printer from direct USB connection to network

    I am trying to move my printer from direct USB connection to the network by using my NAS' print server. I see it fine in trying to setup the printer, but the printer model does not show up as an option. How do I get it added? It is an HP photosmart 7350. Thank you in advance for any help. --Jeff

    Hi kayc_89_07,
    If you still have the printer CD you can re-run and use the USB to wireless setup from there. If not, then you can manually add the printer. What operating system do you have?
    You have to make sure first that your printer is connected wirelessly. You can print a Network Configuration Page from the HP product control panel. The page includes the product IP address, and MAC address as well as the product network status. Follow these steps to print the information:
    On the HP product control panel, press the Wireless button ( ). The Wireless Menu displays.
    On the Wireless Menu, press the button ( ) next to Print Reports .
    The product prints a Network Configuration Page
    Let me know so I can assist you further...

  • How to print from ipad/iphone (printer=LPD)

    Hi!
    The printer is connected to the network. LPD/LPR.
    I have done the setup in my mac book and it is okay to print!
    But i would like to print from iphone/ipad sometimes.
    The problem: is it possible? if yes, how to do it? It seems quite different since i can't add a printer in iphone as it is in Mac
    Could so

    Yes you can. All you have to do is to open the file then click the share button and choose print. However you have to make sure that the printer is connected to the same wifi as the ones in you phone/ipad. Plus, you can't save the printer to the phone, so you'll have to choose then and there. Furthermore, sometimes the IP address would just get messed up and thus, different IPs from the devices, would not print.

  • How to print from iPad using my airport extreme

    I have a New iPad and an iPhone 4 all connected to my Airport Extreme.  My tower computer is a pc as is all of my laptops at this time. I have downloaded Bonjour Print Services to my pc laptops and they print wirelessly through the Airport Extreme using Bonjour Print Services. How do I print from my iPad since I am connected using the Airport Extreme and the printer is a HP7310 which is not an air printer. Please help!

    Suggest that you try an App like Print Central to see if that will allow the iPad to print to your printer.
    PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
    HP also is offering ePrint, which might help as well.

  • How to print from different wireless connection on same network

    I can print wirelessly when I am in range of the wifi to which my computer and attached printer connect. However, when I go to a different wifi connection within the same network, I cannot print. How can I my wifi connections on same network talk to each other so that I can print from second wifi site on same network?

    The problem is you loaded the printer directly and now do not have it plugged in.. so delete the printer in the control panel.. then setup the printer again.. this time connect to it as network printer. The bonjour should make it available as a network resource..
    Tell me if you still run into trouble doing that. You may need to load the IP of the TC manually..
    Window7 has higher security level than xp.. and that can sometimes also cause issues.
    Are you using SMB compliant names for the TC, wireless and printer??
    Can the windows 7 computer get internet via the TC? Can you ping it?
    Look up how to reduce the security level in windows to match xp.. I don't remember the details but you have to do some nifty footwork.

  • How prevent printing from ipad to officejet pro 8600

    How can i disable printing from my daughter's iPad to my OfficeJet Pro 8600?  She is developmentally delayed and doesn't realize what she's doing, but she just blew through a brand new 950XL cartridge printing two-sided solid black images.

    Hi,
    The simplest approach might be to turn the wireless functionality off on the printer when your daughter is using the iPad.
    When you need to print, switch it back on again. There should be an option on the printer panel to switch off wireless.

  • How to print from iPad to printer set up with airport extreme

However from my iPad when I click share then choose printer it searches for the printer but does not see it so I am not able to print from my iPad first generation any help I can use all the support please

    This tweak of OS X 10.6.x might help you: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
    I've been using it with AirPrint since OS X 10.6.5 to connect with a WiFi-connected Canon Pixma MP560 and a USB-connected HP LaserJet 1320. (Haven't tried it with OS X 10.7 Lion, and no plans to upgrade.)
    Also, check the App Store for apps from your printer manufacturer.
    Apps such as Printopia and others are highly recommended and allow printing to a variety of devices, but I have not tried it.

  • How to print from iPad on hp photosmart c7250 all in one printer using wi fi?

    I want to print  from my iPad mini to a HP photosmartC7250 all in one printer using wi fi, please.

    You need a third party printing app or an app that lets your computer act as the print server. Your printer is not an AirPrint printer from what I can see. You can double check here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Printopia for the Mac or Fingerprint for Windows will let you use the computer as the print server.
