I want to print directly from a MacBook to HP C310A without a wireless network.

I set up a HP Photosmart Premier C310A in my daughter's dorm. The University has a campus-wide wireless network and doesn't allow individual wireless networks, so I can't use a wireless router. She is using a MacBook Pro with MAC OS X. Is there any way to print directly to the wireless printer without a network connection?

Yes, there are two ways:
1. With a USB cable (even a long one).
2. Connect to the printer's own wifi signal and print through that. The bad part about this way is that she will have to disconnect from the university's wifi in order to print.

I want to print directly from my iPad to a HP Officejet J6480 wireless printer. Do I need an app for this or can I do it without and if so, how?

I am a new iPad (wi fi version) owner but not the new iPad 2. I have a home wireless network and have a HP Officejet J6480 wireless printer. I print from my iMac and Powerbook directly using the wireless network and want to print directly from my iPad also. Do I need a special app for this or can I do this with something already "built-in" to the operating system of the iPad.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you're comfortable going 'under the hood', this thread originally started in November 2010 contains a minor tweak to OS X that might work for you:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
It allows devices on iOS 4.2 or newer to print to shared wired and wireless printers as long as the Mac is on and awake.

How do I synch my podcasts directly from my MacBook with iPhone/iPad (without iCloud)?

Hi,
I am using an MacBook with iTunes 11.2.2. (3) and an iPhone/iPad with the most recent iOS 7.1.2.
What annoys me is the coud symbole on my iPhone/iPad when I want to listen to my Podcasts. Is there any way to have a direct synchronization of podcasts from my MacBook to my iPhone/iPad? In a nutshell: why do I have to download the same content twice?
Unfortunately, I am sometimes in remote areas without internet/mobile phone coverage. Thus, I would simply get all stuff from my MacBook on my iPhone/iPad without any (unnecessary) detour via the cloud just as in the back old days, when you had to use iTunes for any data transfer to you iPod.
Looking forward to your insights!
Best regards
Torsten

Hi Torsten_75,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If I'm understanding your question correctly, you want to be able to sync Podcasts directly from your Macbook with your iPhone/iPad. You can still do that via the iTunes software on your Mac and the Podcasts app for your device:
Podcasts app for iOS: Syncing podcasts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6202
Mac or PC
Open iTunes and then click the iTunes menu.
Choose Preferences and then click the Store tab.
Place a checkmark next to "Sync podcast subscriptions and settings."
Details on syncing
Enabling syncing for podcasts syncs subscriptions, stations, and play position. Here are the details on everything that syncs.Subscriptions
Subscribing
Syncing podcast subscriptions will download the newest episode for each podcast you are subscribed to (but not previous episodes for that podcast). If you choose to download other episodes for a subscription on one device, they won't automatically download to your other devices. See the transferring section below for more information.
Unsubscribing
If you unsubscribe from a podcast on one device, all of your other devices will unsubscribe to that podcast. If you re-enable a subscription to a podcast, all of your other devices will subscribe to that podcast again.
Deleting
When you delete a subscription on a device you'll also automatically be unsubscribed to it on all of your devices. If you delete a podcast on your iOS device, iTunes on your computer will show the message "This podcast has been deleted from another device, but has saved episodes."
If you click Resolve you'll see the message "Do you want to delete or restore syncing of the podcast?"
If you want to keep any episodes that you've saved on your computer, click Restore Sync on the the dialog box. The subscription will then be added back to your other devices.
If you click Delete, the podcast and all its episodes will be deleted. If you delete a podcast subscription on your computer, it will delete the subscription on your iOS devices including downloaded episodes (unless they're marked as Saved).
StationsWhen you create a station in iTunes on your computer, it will appear on your other devices. If you create a station in the Podcasts app for iOS it will appear on your other devices. Any station settings you change will also sync to all of your devices. If you delete a station on one of your devices, it’ll delete on every other one too.Playback positionPodcasts can remember your playback position between devices and computers so you can always start where you left off. As long as syncing for Podcasts remains on for your iOS device, playback position will sync. However, you'll need to enable this setting in iTunes on your Mac or PC since it's off by default.On your computer
From iTunes pull-down menu select Preferences
Click the Store tab
Enable "Sync playback information across devices." It may take a few minutes for syncing to finish.
Transferring episodes and playlists
Podcast episodes on one device don't automatically download on your other devices. If you want all your downloaded episodes to appear on your other devices, you'll need to sync your iOS devices to your computer over Wi-Fi or with a USB cable.
Connect your iOS device to your Mac or PC with iTunes.
Click the Podcasts tab.
Pick which downloaded podcasts should appear on your iOS devices as well.
To sync an iTunes playlist of podcasts to your iOS devices, place a checkmark next to them under "Include Episodes from Playlists." These playlists will appear in My Stations in the Podcasts app for iOS.
Click Sync.
Cheers,

How to print directly from Windows7 desktop on Officejet 5745 without emailing the printer

Successfully installed HP 5745 and set up eprint on Dell Ispiron 3847 running Windows 7 Professional. How do you print a document or email on desktop directly from the printer without emailing it to the printer's email?
Prior Windows XP printing by clicking mouse and selecting "print" from options list doesn't seem to work with Wndows 7.

Hi,
Given printer is connected to your wireless network already, you have to install its software and driver on your Windows 7 machine. Please download software and drivers from the following link:

Normally we have to print from an application. Which application does not allow you to print ?

Is there a printer I can buy to print directly from Iphone 4S (perhaps via bluetooth) WITHOUT wifi or computer?

My parents purchased an iphone 4s and would like to know if there is a printer that they could buy which would allow them to print WITHOUT having a computer OR a wifi wireless network. I've researched bluetooth enabled printers but it is not clear if they'll work based on what I've read without a computer and network.

Any printer that supports AirPrint can print documents or photos directly without any need for a PC or MAC. I work for a printer company and strong suggest all my customers to buy Brother or Epson printers. Anything Brother or Epson with a (W) and the end of the model number will support AirPrint.

Is there any way to print directly to a wireless printer without a wireless network?

My daughter is in the dorms at a university that doesn't allow individual wireless networks and I am trying to figure out if I can print directly from her MacBook Pro to the HP Photosmart Premier C310A. Can anyone help?

I am currently using a USB connection, but that keeps me tethered to the printer. Which is something I would like to avoid. I was looking at creating an ad hoc network with the MacBook, but I don't know Apple products well enough.
Is there a way to wirelessly print to the printer without an internet connection? Will an ad hoc network work? Can an ad hoc network even be done with a MacBook?

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

To print from your PC, please check out the following iFelix article.
To print from an iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad), the printer must be AirPrint-ready. If the printer is not, another option would be to use something like.

How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer. Do I need a portable single unit Router?

How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer? Do I need a portable one to one Router for the wiFi connection. My Internet is through Telstra 3G system.

Is your printer a wifi printer or hard wired only? If it's a wifi printer then you might want to look into third party apps like Print n Share or Print Central which allow a version of air printing to non-air print printers.
You may also want to look on the manufacturer's site. Maybe they have a fix for you.
If your printer isn't wifi, then you will need a router to get it on a wifi network to print to it. As far as I know, there is no support for the iPad to do wired printing.

How do I print directly from my iPad to wireless Brother air printer ?

We cannot print directly from ipad1. We have a new Brother pie print compatible (supposedly) printer, given as a gift, model MFCJ825DW. It prints nicely from my MacBook Pro through our home wifi network. The iPad, however, will not connect to the printer directly and print. I have to have the MacBook Pro running also in order to print, and then only through an app I bought off iTunes for $9.99. That app is very difficult to use as well (Pro Center...). Is there simply no way to connect an iPad 1 to print directly to this printer ? I have to take my Macbbk Pro to work, and this leaves my wife and the iPad unable to print. That was the main reason for getting the wireless printer! Am I going to have to buy an HP printer, and to they really allow you to print directly from an iPad? I have spent hours trying to solve this and have tried everything I could find, including Google cloud (unable to load Google Chrome on iPad), iPrint and Scan, etc. Can anyone help us out here, or are we just stuck with an Apple product and a printer we cannot effectively use?

Your printer is on the list of supported printers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
So it should work. I have not used a brother, but the drill for other airprint printers is:
Make sure the printer is on the same wifi network.
From the printer console, check for and install any firmware update that is available. Almost all airprint devices need the firmware up date. Do the update from the printer, not your computer.
Reboot the pad. Recycle the router. If it still is not working, goto the brother support sire and see if there is a discussion there that can help you.

Trouble printing directly from LR5 to Canon Pro1

Hi when I try printing directly from LR5 to my Canon Pro1 printer using 4x6 borderless, I get an undesirable border on 2 of the sides. How do I fix this? Thank You.

It's about 1/16th of an inch when I print 4x6. It doesn't do that when I use the Canon software to print. But when I use the Canon software the colors are off a lot.
I want to make bigger prints from LR5 after this issue is fixed.

Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?

Why will my HP6510 not print to photo tray when I print directly from my computer?
I am able to print to the photo tray when I print from a memory card, inserted directly into the printer. However, when I try to print a picture saved directly to my laptop through my wireless connection, the picture prints from the main tray. If I take the paper out of the main tray, I get the out of paper message. When I first bought the printer, I had no problems with this issue. The printer is about 2-3 years old. I have gone into the HP software on my laptop and set the preferences for photo tray, along with the size I wanted and the photo paper I was using. By the way, it is HP photo paper. I have also done the same on the print screen on my laptop. In addition, I have gone into preferences on the printer itself and chosen "Prompt for photo tray." I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software on my laptop. I successfully printed the "practice picture" during the reinstalling process. None of this has solved the problem.
I have no problem printing a document from my laptop wirelessly to the printer.

Hi mountainnana,
Thank you for your response, sorry the guide was not what you were looking for.
Here are some other suggestions:
Open the HP Solution Center (icon is normally on the desktop.) Click on Set Preferences, Click on the Paper/Quality tab, for the Source choose Tray 2, choose the right paper size and media type. Click Apply, and then OK. Then try printing your photo again.
If that does not work there could be a driver/software conflict happening. If that is the case please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Otherwise, proceed with a uninstall and reinstall of your printer software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this solves your issue, and have a good day!

I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

Thats funny. If go to ny times on safari therebis a print icon and no problem printing. On the app -- and I am a paid subscriber -- no print option ...
You can ask the NY Times why not.
Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps are up to their author.
