Printing directly from a mobile device that is NOT on a wifi network

I would like to print directly from an ipad, that does not connect to a home wifi connection.
I have read in some forums, that the HP 6520 can create a direct ad-hoc style wifi connection that the IOS device can connect to, but this is not clearly stated in the feature set on this website.
Can a support admin please clarify whether printing directly from a mobile device that is NOT connected to a shared wifi network is possible?

Hi,

Is it possible to control a Mac directly from an iOS device without being connected to a WiFi network, i.e. an airport or similar.

I would like to control my MacMini (Late 2012) 2.3GHz Intel Quad Core i7 processor directly from my iOS device, either my iPhone 6 or my iPad G3. By directly I mean without having a wireless or wired network in place.
I know there are a number of iOS apps that utilize VNC technology but I believe they all require the Mac to be connected via WiFi to an Airport or similar wireless networking device. I would like to control my MacMini remotely without having it already connected to a WiFi network and wondered is it possible? The iOS device and Mac would be in close proximity to one another.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

Guys, thanks but I did not mean to control it by infrared. I know only too well that iOS devices do not have that capability. However they and the Mac both can send and receive WiFi signals so is there any reason they can't talk to each other directly.
When I am in my home I have an airport but I would like to take the Mac Mini out on music gigs with my Apollo interface which serves as my mic preamp and mixer as it does in my studio but the Apollo needs to be connected to the mac via thunderbolt to download the plugin software that provides reverb and eq, etc. I would like to do this without the need of a monitor and keyboard, hence my dilemma. The only thing I basically need to do is start the mini and the rest happens automatically but I need to also shut down (which I know can be accomplished a couple of ways) but with out having a visual interface you can't make any changes or verify what setting are being used.

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.

I bought my ipad 2 from a friend I am trying to connect to my itunes on my computer and it will not recognize it. It keeps telling me that IPad cant be used because apple mobile device service is not started. can you help

I bought my IPad 2 from a friend. I have reset to clear all of his information out. I am trying to connect it to my computer to sync my itunes and I keep getting the message that my IPad can't be used because Apple Mobile Device Service is not started can anyone help with this?

I cannot find "Other" devices. I found Apple Mobile Device under Universal Bus Controllers but cannot see "recovery mode" or any other status. I use Windows Vista.
When I try to restart Apple Mobile Device Service I get the following message: "The Apple Mobile Device Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". What does this mean?
During the last 48 hours I was able to see my iPad in iTunes only one time during many attemnpts to connect . I haven't been able to see it during the llast several attempts.
Any suggestions? The standard suggestions have not worked: i.e. stop then start AMDS; tuurn off iPad and PC, then restart both and reconfrom iPad to PC; reload iTunes.

nicahermosa42,
There are a few ways to print from your Android phone to your HP printer.
Send an email from your phone to your printer's ePrint address (ex. [email protected]).
Download the HP ePrint Home and Biz app from the Android Market to print photos and documents to your HP printer over your wireless network or through ePrint.
If you need assistance with either method of printing, please post again.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

How do i print from my mobile device

how do i print from my mobile device?

Hi,
Your question can take many days to answer because this depends on your printer and also your mobile device(s).
1. Firstly, you need to have a printer which supports this. You can check from the following list:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=hr&dlc=hr&docname=c02814760&lang=hr&lc=en&product=391...
2. Secondly, your mobile device(s) must also support this. Please use information from the following link:

when the form is opened on a computer the contractor can view the fields we have completed, however when viewing from a mobile device or cell phone those fields appear blank. Any suggestions? I am at a total loss as it works when viewing from the computer. I am assuming it is a setting or maybe we need to save it a special way?

What version of Reader are they using, exactly? And are you sure they're
using Reader itself and not opening the file inside a browser window, for

This is a hint to anyone who cannot find their airprint printer from their ipad: after 10 hours of trying everything imaginable, i can now print directly from my iPad by turning off the bluetooth in settings and waiting for 30 seconds. presto!

after spending a full day and a half trying everything imaginable, i finally found a way to get my ipad to find my new airprint capable printer. I could print from email or the cloud, but not directly from my ipad. After reading a discussion about bluetooth printers, i turned off bluetooth in settings, waited 30 seconds, and voila!! I was able to print directly from my ipad. Try it if you are having troubles

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

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 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.

Printing photos from your Android device

Have you tried printing photos from your Android device (Samsung, Nexus, HTC, Sony etc) ?

Some people have reported issues with skewed borders when trying to print 4x6 & 5x7 photos (see example below of correct photo size v's photo with skewed borders)
If you run into this issue I would advise you to download the free HP ePrint APP from the App Store or Google Play, this allows you to print perfect borderless photos,
Hope this helps.

B110 won't print directly from iPhone

I've posted on this before, but didn't get any help with the problem, so I'll try again.
Basically, one of my B110 printers will not print directly from any iPhone or iPad. All devices come up with 'no Airplay printers found' message.
Before anyone asks, yes, of course the printer is on the list of Airplay compatible printers, yes, it prints fine via eprint emails, and yes, I have followed the very limited (switch on and off type advice) from the Apple support site.
It is connected via the D-Link Powerline N type wireless devices.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry to hear you are having issues with AirPrint! I found a document that should resolve your issue. Be sure to follow the article in order. Be sure to post back with your results so I know if this solved your issue. I hope this helps!

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.

When i plug in my ipod touch 4th generation i go to itunes and a message pops up that says"this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started". but my ipod came to the connect to itunes screen

i can not get my ipod to get out of the connect to itunes page , and when i plug it in it says itunes mobile device system is not setup

From what I know from troubleshooting all sorts of screwed-up PC devices, you should try the following steps (I have assumed you didn't try any of them, so plz don't take offence for some "basics"):
1) Updating the iTunes on your PC, or if it's already the latest, see if you can find the individual install package of "Apple Mobile Device Support" by using Window's Search (the package should be "AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi") and reinstall it (Uninstall the existed one first). If you can't find the individual package, I think you may find a downloadable one online, or if you want to simply the process, just reinstall the whole iTunes.
2) If problem remains, check if there's any "application/service monitoring function" on your anti-virus/spyware program, and find if "Apple Mobile Device Support" is on its "blocked list", remove this entry when you find it.
3) Check if there's any "Registry" clean-up software/function in a software, or whether you've altered any apple-related or unknown registry entries. If it's a yes, see if you can find the most recent Registry backup before the iPod connection problem occured. In the case you do not have any backup (Make sure! Almost every Registry clean-up software would back-up Registry before any cleaning process. You can find them in this software's directory), simply use the "system restore" program of Windows to restore your computer to the latest point when iPod's connection with PC was still functioning.
Since we can't find any problems with "Apple Moblie Device Support" from above steps, let's refocus to the hardware part:
4) Restore the "setting part" to default on you iPod, if you don't want to wipe clean your setting now, try below steps first.
1) Plug in your iPod to other USB port, if it doesn't work, try plug in other devices to check if there's any problem with your USB ports or USB's drivers on PC. (If there is, try 'roll back' the USB driver's version by entering to its 'property' on right-clicked menu, if still doesn't work, maybe the USB ports are broken-down)
6) Go over the steps and check if you've tried everything. The latest choice I'd advise is to check if you can find another "USB cable" for iPod and plug-in so you'd know if the original is broken.
Well, that's about all I can think of. Good luck and post your questions if you need any clear-up.
