HT201311 Can I use personal hotspot as wifi to connect AirPrint printer?

Can I use personal hotspot as wifi to connect AirPrint printer and print?
Thanks. Appreciate your help.

Yes, that should work at least temporarily.  Some printers are not constantly looking for WiFi networks, however, so you'll have to make sure the hotspot is setup and active every time you turn your printer on.

  • Can't Pair iPhone to iPad using Personal Hotspot

    Hello. I have an iPhone3GS and an iPad (WiFi only). I recently updated my iPhone to use the new 4.3 software and see that it now has the "Personal Hotspot" option. I called AT&T and activated the functionality. However, it appears that I can only use the "Hotspot" via bluetooth or USB.
    That's OK but I am trying to connect it to my Ipad. I cannot seem to figure out how to pair the iPhone to the iPad. In the Bluetooth screen, neither of them will show the other. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Bluetooth is not supported for file transfer
    You can pair to tether.
    You have to use USB

  • Why can't I connect my iPhone 4 to my iPad 2 using personal hotspot in iPhone 4

    I have iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPad 2. Since I use cellular data, sometimes I put one of my sims into iPhone 5 and use personal hotspot to serve as a router. The iPad 2 works perfectly but if I turn on the feature in iPhone 4, neither the iPhone 5 nor the iPad 2 can connect to the iPhone 4. It detects the iPhone 4 but doesn't connect to it. Is there anything I'm missing or is iPhone 4 personal hotspot is not programmed to connect to my other two devices using this feature.

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Issues discovering IPhone5 personal hotspot on wifi

    I have a MacBook Retina, using OSX 10.9.3, I usually use personal hotspot on my IPhone5, while it works fine when I have the IPhone connected via USB Cable, If I want to connect via WIFI, it doesn't properly discover my IPhone wifi hostspot (I dont see the network in wifi list) even if the phone is very close, I have to switch on/off personal hotspot option several times on my phone, as well as turn off/on wifi on the mac after which I can see & connect to network. Where as it works fine with a Windows 8 laptop, even if the laptop is in another room about 10-12 feet away.

    Try this:
    Connect your phone to iTunes and check the name of your phone.  If it has an apostrophe in the name such as Greg's iPhone, then you need to edit the name and remove the apostrophe.  You can youtube "How to Change the iTunes iPhone Device Name" for easy instructions.
    Hope this helps.

  • I'm thinking of buying an iPad.  Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

    I'm thinking of buying an iPad.  Can I use my home's wifi or do I need to get a plan for it?

    Another thing to note is that if your cell plan/carrier supports it (it's free with Verizon Shared plans), you can also use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot (Personal Hotspot on iOS devices) and use your phone's data to access the internet on the iPad. I purchased an iPad 3 with Verizon 3G/4G cellular built-in but have never activated it. I instead use Personal Hotspot with my Verizon Wireless cellular (phone) plan. If you go this route, you can save money over purchasing a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad and just choose the Wi-Fi model. But also realize that if you choose to at some point to use the iPad when you're away from Wi-Fi, you won't have the built-in cellular capability that a Wi-Fi/Cellular iPad would have.

  • My iphone setting freezes everytime i use personal hotspots

    I don't know what went wrong with my iphone
    Recently my laptop uses my iphone as a router to connect to internet
    and everything works great.
    I usually left personal hotspot on untill the next morning, that means i don't turn it off when I am sleeping
    and the next day on my laptop, the bottom right shows the internet isn't working.
    so i would go back to my iphone trying to turn it off and restart personal hotspot again.
    here comes the problem, everytime the internet isn't working, and i try to reopen it
    my "Settings" always freezes and I can't change any settings
    I can still using my iphone to play games, or any other applications, but not "settings"
    what could possibly go wrong?
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    By the one I have updated to the latest version iOS 4.3.3

    Yea.. Same problem here. And this *only* happens when the hotspot is suddenly not working (which is also another different problem, why does this happens so often anyway). Even the blue status bar won't dissapear even though i've turned the personal hotspot off.
    Everytime this happens i usually restart my iphone. But here comes another problem. i always have to do a force restart (holding power button + home button). Coz the iphone will also freeze (the shutdown process takes forever) if i attempted to turn it off under this condition.
    Btw, if i stop personal hotspot during an active connection, this problem doesn't occur.
    I'm using iphone 4 and just upgraded to ios 4.3.5

  • When connecting ipad to iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone?

    When connecting ipad to my iPhones personal hotspot via wifi it is showin up as 2 connections when only 1 device is connected. Is someone hacking my phone? I only figured out I had a problem when my partner did the exact same set up and it showed up as only 1 device connected. I have changed the password and turned it off/on and etc. the really weird thing is now when my ipad is turned off and I turn my iphone personal hotspot on it shows up with 1 connection (when I don't have anything connected) for about 5 secs and then goes off and then 1 device connected for about 5 secs and then back off. This just keeps going on and off. What is going on. Could my phone have a bug or be hacked. Please help as it is kinda freaking me out. Thanks.

    Hello asrt17,
    This may occur if your iPhone is connected to your computer via USB, as it will automatically share the connection via USB.
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756
    When Personal Hotspot is enabled, your iOS device automatically shares your Internet connection with your computer when connected using USB.
    Example: When you connect iPhone to your computer to charge or sync with iTunes. To avoid unnecessary data charges, turn off Personal Hotspot when not in use.
    Cheers,
    Allen
