How to Print when printer is NOT AirPrint capable

I have an iPad 2 and would like to print. My computer is a Canon PIXMA MX870. It is wireless but not AirPrint capable, as far as I can tell.
I have downloaded the Printer Pro app and tried to find my printer. Both my desktop computer (iMac) and printer are wireless. My wifi signal is strong.
Since I could not find my printer in the app window, I tried to download the app helper, but when I did, the iPad displayed the error "Safari cannot download this app." The same message occurred when I tried with Google Chrome.
Next, I tried the classic print approach - with the IP of my printer. I figured if I cannot print everywhere, maybe I could settle for home. I put in the IP address,
and the app did not recognize my printer. Nothing happened. No test page printed.
I don't know what to do. Is there an app that is recommended specifically for these issues (wireless but no AirPrint)? If not, what affordable printers are out
that can scan and copy and AirPrint, and which might you suggest?
I prefer keeping what I have .... but just in case ... Thanks!

Canon offers several Apps for their non AirPrint compatible printers. This one specifically says it supports your model of Printer:
https://itunes.apple.com/app/canon-easy-photoprint/id331269951?mt=8
Alternatively, you may be able to install a piece of software onm your computer that wil allow you to print to your printer.
For Mac Printopia is recommended often.

For PC there are less solutions, but you can still find some tutorials on how to make it work though they aren't as straight forward as Printopia.

I cannot print from my iPad using airport express. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to airport express thru USB port. My laptop can print with no problem thru the express unit. My lap top is no a mac.

Good day, my iPad does not seem to pick up my printer. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to my airport express thru the USB port. My laptop which is windows type connects to the printer via airport express thru bonjour and this work well. My iPad does not pick up my printer thru the airport express. I have read about different software that you can download but this seems to be only if you are using a mac. I know my express is working fine as I can use airplay thru my iPad. Any ideas? I do not want to go to the expense of changing my printer, when there was no mention in the express details that your printer had to be AirPrint compatible or indeed wireless.

See this article to learn how to print from an iPad to your USB printer when you have a PC. The PC will need to be running when you want to print from the iPad.

Is there a way to print from pages to a wireless printer that is not AirPrint capable. I have a HP C4580

I have a HP C4580 wireless printer. It is not AirPrint capable. I now do all my work on iPad via pages. I have an HP App HP home and biz, it finds my printer no problems and allows me to print photos with ease. However pages still cannot find a printer. Any thoughts?

I had a related problem, now solved. But this discussion is relevant to me. Is there a difference between ePrint and ePrint for Home and Biz? On my iPad, I installed what I believe is just ePrint -- got it from Apple Apps or iTunes store -- was free. I am able to print on my HP Photosmart 6180 using that app. Is there a "better" HP app that should have on my iPad? And how can I find out just what i have (including the version). ePrint is not listed with other the apps on my iPad "settings" page.

How to print using Apple Airprint

This link to the Canon website gives the best summary I have seen. including default paper sizes: http://www.usa.canon.com/CUSA/assets/app/pdf/airprint/How_to_Print_Using_Apple_A irPrint.pdf
It points out that default sizes depend on where you are but does not how they are determined, by the printer or iPhone software or both.

I am offering more comprehensive information than I have seen elsewhere.

HT4356 Can I print a pdf document on my iPhone to a bluetooth printer that is not AirPrint capable

I have the HP OfficeJet 100 portable printer with Bluetooth and it is NOT a model with AirPrint. From what I've found, I should be able to print a docuement using my iPhone but would need some print software. I cannot figure out what software they're talking about and cannot find anything on the HP or Apple sites.

bluetooth is just an usb cable just wireless
a driver is still required to print on a bluetooth printer
ios don't have drivers in that respect and can't of cause ever ever use windows or osx drivers
there are 2 options you have
1. if hp's free printing app in app store (assuming they have one) can do it
2. if you install netgear genie in a computer it will make all printers the computer have access to become airprint printers in the eyes of IOS of cause the computer have to be turned on when you print
even though it's netgear who make the app one is not required to use a netgear router or the likes

How to print delivery note only to spool

Hi,
Can anyone advise how to send print request from VL02N/Delivery Notes to a printer without actually printing anything ? i.e. print to a spool ? We want to avoid errors in SP01 caused due to spool requests sent to a printer which no longer exists. So we want to retain the spool but not print anything.
Thanks.

Make your form to spool only. do not assign any printer to it.... I mean, no physical printer.

How to print from Notes in Print Central app

I'm using the Print Central app to print wirelessly to a non air-print printer but cannot print any of my notes (no option to "Open In") or import to Print Central. Are there any wireless printing apps that seem to work with all wireless printers? Right now I have to use a program on my pc with the Print Central app in order to print and it is an unwanted extra step. I'd like to press print and that's it.

How to impdp when I do not have the source tablespace.

I have a situation where a may not know what a client's source tablespace is. I only know the source schema. What I need to be able to do is import the data into another schema(that's easy with remap_schema). What i need impdp to do is to place the 'new' objects from the export file into the default tablespace of the destination user. I cannot user REMAP_TABLESPACE because i don't know what it is ahead of time, and there may be mutliple tablespaces. I want EVERYTHING to go into the destination user's default tablespace. Does anyone know how to do this.? Here's the pl/sql that I'm currently using:
DECLARE
dph NUMBER;
BEGIN
dph := dbms_datapump.open(operation => 'IMPORT', job_mode =>'SCHEMA',job_name => 'test15_IMPORT');
dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => dph,filename => 'test_client_backup.dmp', directory => upper('CLIENT_FILES_DIR'),filetype=>1);
dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => dph,filename =>'clientimpdp'||to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyyyHHMMSS')||'.log' ,directory =>upper('CLIENT_FILES_DIR'),filetype=>3);
dbms_datapump.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name =>'SCHEMA_EXPR',value => 'IN(''TEST_SOURCE_SCHEMA'')');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_REMAP(dph,'REMAP_SCHEMA',upper('TEST_SOURCE_SCHEMA'),upper('TEST_DEST_SCHEMA'));
dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => dph,name =>'TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION', value =>'REPLACE');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(dph,'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR','=''GRANT''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(dph,'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR','like''%GRANT''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name => 'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', VALUE => '=''USER''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name => 'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', VALUE => '=''TABLESPACE''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name => 'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', VALUE => '=''TABLESPACE_QUOTA''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name => 'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', VALUE => '=''SYSTEM_GRANT''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name => 'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', VALUE => '=''ROLE_GRANT''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name => 'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', VALUE => '=''DEFAULT_ROLE''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name => 'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', VALUE => '=''PROCACT_SCHEMA''');
dbms_datapump.start_job(dph);
dbms_datapump.detach(dph);
--EXCEPTION
--WHEN OTHERS THEN
--dbms_output.put_line('Error:' || sqlerrm || ' on Job-ID:' || dph);
END;

I can't really understand your code. But if, the source tablespace is not available in the target database then the default behaviour is, it will automatically go to the default tablespace of that user. say for ex. you export the data from tablespace TB1 in the source. You try to import them in TB2 (which is the default tablespace for the user in target database) it will be automatically imported to TB2 if there is no TB1 or if the user have no quota on TB1.

How to fix when plugin is not loaded into photoshop?

hi all,
I have created a filter plugin in 64bit then created a link for project.8bf file and copied it into "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Plug-ins"
and restarted photo shop cc it is not showing up in filter menu.

Try resetting your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox being used). Some add-ons can change the user agent string and that can lead to error messages about unsupported browsers. For details on how to do that see the [[websites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser]] article.

I have an epson workforce 600 which is not listed as airprint enabled. has anyone made this printer work with airprint?

i have an epson workforce 600; it is not listed as one of the printers that is airprint enabled.
has anyone made it work with airprint? if so, please tell me how.
thanks.

The Workforce 600 is not AirPrint-compatible. Epson has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers. Search the iTunes Store or look to the support resources for your model of printer. Third-party printing apps such as PrintCentral are also available. All such apps have limitations, so check them out thoroughly before you pay for any such app.
You could also route the printing through your computer. If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

How to print from an ipad

Does anyone knows how do I print from an ipad? The screen on the ipad shows the message "looking for printer" but it does not recognize my Hp Wireless printer which is already configured to the same ISP. Then appears a message "No AirPrint Printers Found". I also restarted it just in case but still it won't recognize it.

Which hp printer do you have? Below is the list of airprint printers. Not all hp wireless are.
If your printer is on the list, then from the printer control panel, update the firmware. Almost all the hps need that update to wrok airprint properly.
If your printer is not airprint, then check the app store for one af many workarounds... Print n share, printopia etc. these need a pc running to support the process.

The Print button (described in the Help file that Bernd refers to) prints to AirPrint printers. Here's a list:
