How to print from iPad without AirPrint printer

I attempted to download 'handy print' to my iPad2 but received the message, "Safari unable to download." I simply need to send info to a printer which is not AirPrint compatible.

Wake on Demand is not related to Printopia in the strictest sense, and it is not as if the Mac announces the presence of its non-AirPrint printers as much as it announces the presence of itself and its available services, which would include Printer Sharing.
From Printopia's FAQ:
Q: Does Printopia require my Mac to be on?
A: Since Printopia runs on your Mac to share printers to iOS devices, the Mac must be on and logged in for Printopia to function. You may be able to take advantage of Apple's "Wake on Demand" feature if your Mac and your base station meet certain specific requirements. See Apple's Wake on Demand support page for more details on this.
About Wake on Demand: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774. Read about how it works to understand its capabilities and limitations. Portable Macs, for example, must be plugged in to a charging source.
I could never get WoD to work reliably on earlier releases of OS X, but the feature has been working reliably since at least Lion. The Mac wakes, the print job is sent, and the Mac goes back to sleep according to the settings in Energy Saver.
Wake on Demand requires AirPort Base Stations, anything else may work but is not guaranteed.
Printopia has a trial version so you don't have to spend $20 just to find out.

  • HP Premium "air printer" is not printing from iPad, but iPhone printing is fine

    Greetings
    I have the problem that no printouts are showing at my HP premium if printed from iPad. The iPad can see the printer, box is saying that the print is getting prepared and then sent to the printer, but it never arrives. Printerque stays empty. Printing from my MacBook via Wi-Fi is working fine as well as printing from my iPhone.
    iPad 2 with iOS7, iPhone5 IoS 7, HP premium photosmart C410, MacBook Pro with Mavericks, New Air Timecapsule a/c and n wireless.
    Things I tried without success:
    - Use printer wired (to Timecapsule) as well as wireless
    - Reset Printer to Manufacturer default
    - Turn off iPad, turn off Printer, Turn off Air Timecapsule

  • My new printer is apple AirPrint compatible .  All devices on on one remote.  How do I print from iPad.  What print app should I download.  Any and all help appreciated

    I do not know how to sync my iPad with my new canon airplay compatible printer.  They are both on the same remote server.  What app is best to download?  What do I do after that?

    If your printer is AirPrint compatible and you printer and iPad are on the same WiFi network, all that you have to do is to tap on the arrow icon in any app that you can print from and select Print from the window that pops up and this will pop up.
    You do not need additional software.

  • Is there any way to print from iPad without having wireless network?

    My mom is getting an iPad 64GB Wi-Fi + 3G to be able to surf the internet easily since the only service available to her at her house is dial-up. She would like to be able to print from her iPad. It seems from my research that all the printers require connection to a wi-fi network to use airprint. Does anyone know of an easy way for her to print? Also, she doesn't have a computer available to her right now as it recently died. Does anyone know of a solution?

    Well, without a wireless network she can't surf the 'net!
    Yes, printers require connection to a WiFi network AND they must be AirPrint compliant.

  • Best way to wireless print from ipad (without wifi)?

    I work with kids in various settings and would like to print from the ipad when I have no wifi available. What is my best option?

    You do not need a connection to the internet but a WiFi connection is necessary and many of the AirPrint printers create an ad hoc network.

  • User Name & Password for Deskjet J4580 - to print from Ipad via AirPrint

    Was able to install the airprint driver on computer.  My Ipad sees my printer but asks me for "user name" and "password" for HP Officejet j4500 series @ zeus".  I have tried all kind of passwords and it will not accept.  Wondering how I  can either obtain user name andpassword or reset them for my printer.

    Well, this is strange because this printer does not support AirPrint.  Maybe that is the problem altogether.
    I have no idea about the user name and password, it should not have them.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • I am having issues printing from ipad via airprint compatible canon 5230- noairprint found

    I just purchased canon mg5230 AirPrint compatible printer. Attepting to print from Keynote and numbers. Message-no airprinters found. Printer does work via wireless laptop. It will print a photo only via Canon app.

    Not sure if this is a typo, but the 5230 is not on the list of airprint printers, but the 5320 is.
    Here is the list.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If you have the 5320, the from the printer control panel, see if you can update the frimware on the printer.  If you have recently bought it, it was not likely shipped with the current software.

  • I have changed broadband supplier and cannot now print from iPad to airprinter

    I have changed broadband supplier and cannot now print to my air printer

    Your printer must use the settings (SSID and Password) of your new router.
    Currently your printer is no longer on the same network as your iPad.
    If it is a HP printer, you have to run the CD again.

  • Help printing from iPad to HP printer

    Im trying to print from my iPad 3 to an HP officejet 6500 wireless. I don't own a Mac so is there any other way to do this without of course having to buy an AirPrint? From everything I have read to install printopia I need a Mac. What are the HP models with AirPrint? 

    The 6500 E710a and E710n models support AirPrint - the full list of printer that support AirPrint are on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Otherwise there is the HP ePrint app which, amongst others, supports the 6500 E709 and E710 models (full list here), and then there are third-party apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with your printer

  • Print from iPad to iMac printer

    How can I print an email from my ipad using the printer connected to my imac? I use wi-fi.

    Sorry, misunderstanding. I have not been able to print from my iOS devices on my Win7 network. Hence my move to purchase an iMac to try to create a homogenious environment. I'd thought I'd read somewhere that I could print to "Mac shared printers...".  My previous reference to "printing on my Win7 network.." was referring to my ability to share printers on Win7 machines and print from any Windows based computer on my network.  No success as of yet printing on either Win7 nor Apple OS networks.
    So my search continues for a solution to print from my iPad on my network [wirelessly of course].
    I just made an assumption based on some readying that if I purchased an iMac and shared my printer(s), my iOS printing issues would be resolved, and I'd have a nice new computer for my family to use. So far 1 out of 2 objectives met.

  • Print from iPad over Bluetooth Printer there is a way?

    I want to develope an App that will detect the Bluetooth Printer (NearBy) and then will print it.

    As of now the iPad does not support using Bluetooth printing; without a change by Apple to the OS there is no way to allow this.
