Is e-print the same as "AirPrint"?

I've seen new HP printer sporting e-print... Is this this same as AirPrint?  It's nonsense that iPads can't print to ANY wireless printer forcing me to buy, yet again, another printer!  Ios5 disabled printer Apps so now my wife can't print through her Mac..... What's up Apple?  Why the hassle of printing?

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed reply.  It's confusing as the printers at the store don't sport "AirPrint" on the box but rather "e-print".
I guess my point is if there are Apps that can make printing possible to any printer (being a software thing) why would Apple not have this software as a part of its operating system so any wireless printer can be printed to? 
My wife searched on the net for the issue she is having and the overwhelming responses seem to be that the latest ios version has disabled many printing Apps.   Apples seems to indicate  that USB connection to your Mac from your printer is not supported, which is how many of the printer Apps work.
This seems to be software thing rather than a hardware thing?  Your thoughts are appreciated!
In general, HP's wifi ePrint printers are also compatible with AirPrint.  However, I would check the Apple support page as well as the HP page for any printer you are considering to make sure it will work with Airprint.  Here, it pays to do your homework.
Regarding Airprint implementation, your guess is as good as anyone's.  However, there are workarounds that allow Airprint to work with any wireless printer.  You can do a google search to find some of them.
On the App printing issue, it may be that the app developers are still working to get their software to be compatible with iOS5.  App updates have been trickling out on many of the apps I use (not printing related, though).  If it is a real concern, I would email the app developers and ask them about it, what their timeframe is, etc.

    Thanks again
    I have a couple of HP printers, so I am somewhat familiar with this.
    EPrint is not the same as air print.  EPrint is HPs way of sending documents over the Internet to an Internet-connected printer.  Air print, by contrast, is Apple's way of printing from an iPad or an iPhone over Wi-Fi.  So, even if your printer is capable of "printing from tablets", it is not at all clear whether it is only air print or ePrint or both.  The best thing you can do is check the list that was posted above and see if your model printer is in that list. If it is, you can use the air print function built into the latest iOS to print over Wi-Fi. On the other hand, if your printer is not on the list, you may still be able to print through ePrint. To do that, you should download and install the HP ePrint app that is available for free in the App Store. This will allow you to print over 3G to your wireless printer.

  • Printing the same page multiple times on one sheet

    So last year I wanted to print out minature versions of my card design and I was able to do that by printing out multiple copies of the same thing on one sheet of paper. Of course that was a while ago and now today I can't do the same thing. I remember printing the same page(copy) multiple times either in acrobat or indesign. I see that I have a front and back version for last years card and I'm assuming I must have done it in acrobat. Last year when I looked at the preview there was multiple copies of my page. This year I only see 1 even as I choose the other things. At first I thought it might have been the version I was using on my windows as opposed to the version on my mac. But now I'm on my mac and I still don't see how I did it last year. Please help! I keep reading that this can't be done but I remember doing the same thing last year. It was the 16 copies of the same thing option. I tried it again this time but it doesn't work. I tried printing the 4 copies only 1 copy was printed.(the preview didn't even show all copies like last year) The verson of acrobat is X. version 10.1.4

    What exact version of iPhoto 9 are you using? Version 9.5's solution will be different from the solution for earlier versions of iPhoto 9.

  • Recentley printing most documents in firefox print on 1/4 of the page and not the complte document. When I print the same thing in safari it prints fine. Please advise how I can get proper printing in firefox

    When using Firefox to print most documents ( boarding passes, mastercard statements,genealogy documents) the printing only shows on 1/4 of the page, is in the lower left quarter and does not print part of the right side of the information. When I go into Safari and print the same documents within 2 minutes they always print fine. We like Firefox and would prefer to continue to use but if we can't print we will have to use Safari more often

    I have the same problem with cutting of the page since installing the new version. If you manually zoom out the print it only shows 1/4 of the page on a whole page of paper. Something is wrong here.
    I have done all these steps and it still does NOT print correctly!
    I am a IT professional and something is not right with the new firefox browser. Please supply with fix or we will have to permanently switch back to Internet Explorer, which works perfectly.

    No printing :I can't print anymore, printing the same file with another program is ok, printing form LR (in the same system and printer of course :-) ): Preparing  and Printing indicatorbar in the left hand upper corner are running and completing, but no output at all to my printer. I have been printing before. Next I upgraded to LR5.7.1 but the problem stays. Perhaps some adjustment is changed by me unintentionally, but I have no idea. Does anybody know what to check? Printing to file is also strange,the canvas only seems to accept A4, and crops any image relative to that size, so a 10x15 cm print on 10 x 15 cm paper is cropped to 10x15/2. Anybody any idea? (system win 8.1 64, printer HP B8550)

    I accidentally solved my mystery.  For some reason it was set to "print to file".  I changed it to "printer" and now I am able to print.

  • When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

    When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

    What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
    Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
    Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

  • When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

    When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

    Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
    Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

    Same here. The workaround is in the Print Dialog, Printer Settings> Change Settings> Advanced Settings. This will take you to the printer driver settings and you can usually specify number of copies there somewhere (following is from my Canon printer driver).

  • Printing the same picture several time on the same paper

    I use to be able to print the same photo on 1 paper , often to create ID photos but i cannot succeed anymore with the latest version of my i photo !!!! any help is welcome

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Once you choose your photo, paper size and print size you'll get this window. Now click on the Customize button and in the next window click on the Setting button and select the option seen in this screenshot.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
