Printing from Air

We have an application that needs to print to a label printer. However the PrintJob.showPageSetupDialog() does not use the usual printer setup dialog is ther anyway around this? The one it supplies is unable to alter the printer page and margin settings.
The image below is the air dialog the one below that is what every other program uses including flash builder.

Hi,
I tested this function after reading Moranis's post. Same for
me.
The solution suggested by Rick is OK if you want to print the
PDF version of the help - which has to be prepared an distributed
and which, depending on the size of the help, can be huge. And then
the user would still have to find the page corresponding to the
current topic.
But I think most users will just want to print the topic
displayed, and right-clicking was the simple way to do it and get
the same result as what you saw on screen.
I think there is an issue here for future improvement. For
those interested, there's a feature request form available at:

Good day.

Printing from Air output

Hi all,
When I go to print from an Air output, the formatting is a
little wacky. It appears that when it prints, it enlarges the
content to fill up the whole page, which leads to large fonts and
screen shots being chopped off.
Is there any way that I can use a print.css? I've tried so
far and it doesn't appear to work. I was hoping someone knows a
nice work-around that can make printing from Air look nice instead
of having everything blown up.
Thanks in advance.

Distiller crash when printing from air 3.2

I have a problem with the new air runtime 3.2 when printing to pdf. For some reason when printing an movieclip through the pdf printer. It crashes.
-What i've tried so far.
Updated the air runtime // dev kit in flash builder. Changed the app xml and recompiled.
Removed the PDFX4 2008.joboptions (Suggested in some forums)
Tried to set the transparancy option to none (somewhere in the joboptions file).
What is odd, it works perfectly with the old air runtime engine 3.1. But after updating to air 3.2 it crashes.
This was the error message, it probably has something to do with text/embedded fonts (pure graphics seem to wordk). But i'm not sure. The error from the log file :
Acrobat Distiller 9.5

I tried it with acrobat 8 (also worked with air 3.1)

%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

I seem to have solved my own problem (will need some further testing but for now it is working). For some reason the display object that has to be printed needs to visible on the stage. So constructing an (sprite/movieclip with classic textfields) in memory and sending it directly as a printjob resolves into a crash. But if you attach it to the display/stage before sending the printjob, the problem seems to be resolved. Maybe this is the same reason why a printed sprite/movieclip gets corrupted after printing.

HT1695 I have Canon MG3250 air printer but I am unable to print from my I-pad, please can you help?

Please help me to be able to print from my Canon MG3250 Air printer from my I pad.

Your printer is AirPrint capable - make sure your iPad and the printer are on the same WiFi network.

Can i print from iPad wireless to my printer w/o getting an Air printer?

I have a router that can print from my PC or from my Lenovo laptop wirelessly to a Canon printer that is wired to the router via an ethernet cable. is there some way to get the iPad to see the printer without having to buy on of those Air Printers? i bought Print Central but that is cumbersome as i have to be using Print Central to have it print something. i can't just have an email open and be able to print. i just want to be able to print anything that is on the iPad screen.
Thanks

It's possible to use free software (Virtualbox and Ubuntu) to fix the broken iOS 5 Airprint printing with non supported printers. Here's a fix that works on my imac, but should also work on even a windows pc.
My setup is a lion imac with 2 non-airprint supported usb printers attached, a belkin wifi router that provides network connectivity for my imac, ipad, and iphone.
Install ubuntu 11.10 in a virtualbox vm. Specify to use the "Bridged Adapter" with "en1: WiFi (AirPort)" for the network hardware. Make sure the imac's usb printers are setup with sharing. On ubuntu, select System Settings > Printers and add your imac's shared printers to the list. Then start ubuntu's firefox and set "localhost:631" in the address. On the administration tab, under the Server section, check "Share printers connected to this system" and hit Change Settings button to activate it. Go back to ubuntu's printer setup, and right click on each printer and check that the properties Policies tab does not have any messages about it being unshared. If so, then go back to firefox and make sure the Server sharing checkbox is enabled. It may help to reboot.
Fire up virtualbox to be able to use AirPort printing to your imac's usb printers, when you want to print from the iphone or ipad. This also works on iOS 5.
Only problem is error message from iphone to check the printer for errors, even though it actually prints ok.

HT4356 I have an air-print enabled printer: HP Premium e-all-in-one C310. Can't print from iPad iOS6. They're on the same network, but have different IP addresses. On the iPad it's 192.16.1.126 and on my printer it's 192.168.1.133. Can I match them? H

I can't print from my iPad2 to my air-print enabled printer (HP Premium e-all-in-one C310). They're on the same network, but have differed IP addresses! The iPad IP is 192-168-1.126 and the printer is 192-168.1.133. That's the only difference I can see. Is there a way to fix this?

fyi:
you put periods between the numbers.
Each device needs a unique number.
for the 192.168.1 the right must number should vary. 192.168.1.x
the numbers you have look ok.
Power off all devices: wifi router, printer, ipad.. wait 10 minutes. poweron router ... wait power on printer wait then power on ipad.
cross fingers.

When I air print from my iPad, I can't limit the number of pages. It just says print and the number of copies and I end up with way more than I want. How do I set it to limit the pages?

When I air print using FingerPrint from my ipad, it doesn't let me limit the number of pages, and I end up with more pages than I want. It asks if I want multiple copies, but it doesn't ask me number of pages, or which pages. Is there a way to do this?

When you use an AirPrint compatible printer, you get this option for page range. You are using your computer as the server in order to print, so you probably have to set the range on the computer. While you can print from your printer with this app, I assume that it doesn't give you the same control that you get directly from the iPad when using an AirPrint printer.
Read this from the FingerPrint support site. Selecting the page range would be part of the formatting of a print job.

How can I print from my ipad to a network printer (not air enabled

I understand there are numerous HP printers that are "air-enabled" but the one I have is not. It is an HP Laserjet Pro 200 m251nw. Is there a way that I print from my ipad to this wireless printer?

You may have to use 3rd party apps like PrinterNShare.

HT4356 Pages printed from Notes to air printer have very large font and no margins

How can i reduce the size of the print when printing from Ipad "Notes" to an air printer. I can only find a way to increase the font but not decrease it. Also how can I adjust the margins

Same here. Best to put the notes/copy them into something like the Pages app (for a small cost) or email them from the Notes app to a proper computer with good word processing programmes.

HT4356 all of a sudden I cannot air print from my ipad or iphone - I can still print from my laptop - don't know how to fix

All of a sudden i can no longer air print from my iphone 4S or my ipad 2
Need help
I can still air print from my Dell laptop

Hello rcappel,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when printing from your iPhone and iPad. I found a couple of resources I recommend for the issue you described.
First, I recommend following these steps:
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
You can find the full article here:
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If you are still having trouble printing after following those steps, I recommend these steps:
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

Hi,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello boojoo1tw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
I worked on behalf of HP.

HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion. I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion. I added a new printer from the System Preferences. The printer will print sometimes. Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print. I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity. That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything. I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me here?

Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out
