Printing from an iPhone to a Home Printer using a Mac Book as a Server

This is how App Print Bureau prints to a home printer. It works, but is becoming inconvenient, as one has to leave the Mac Book on. Accordingly, I would like to use something else as a server. I have a netbook (Acer Aspire One), but it may not be powerful enough to use as a server, over and above any difficulties with its different OS (cut down Fedora). I presume it would have to be loaded with a Mac OS, which may be a no no for various reasons... If it could be done at all... Any suggestions?
Cheers, all
Ken

I'll wait until I retire the Mac Book, then dedicate it to being a server.

    You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

  • I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?  i use OS X

    i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

  • I can't seam to get all my songs from my iPhone to my iTunes account on my mac. any ideas?

    I can't seam to get all my songs from my iPhone to my iTunes account on my mac. any ideas?

    iTunes will not transfer non-purchased media from you phone to your computer (only purchased media).  Non-purchased songs only sync one way: from computer to phone.  If you want to transfer non-purchased music from your phone to your mac you will have to purchase 3rd party software such as Touch Copy.  Purchased media, including music, can be transfered to your iTunes library by connecting to iTunes, right-clicking on your phone when it appears on the left sidebar, and choosing Transfer Purchases.

  • Any recommendations for buying a printer for my Mac Book Pro

    Looking to buy a printer for my Mac Book Pro!! Any recommendations???

    Any will work. "AirPrint" compatible printers will work even better, since they require no setup whatsoever, and will even work with iOS devices  (and with some compatible android/windows phones) you might end up buying.

  • Connecting MG3570 printer with multiple MAC books

    I connected MG3570 printer with my Mac book wirelessly. Everything fine till my son also connect the printer with his Mac book. My computer can not connect so I started set up again and connect it. Then my son can not connect again. What should we do to be able to connect all Mac books to printer? thanks

    You might want to look at this article on troubleshooting Mag Safe adaptors:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
    Check for things like stuck pins.
    Also, be sure that you are not mixing up the MacBook charger (65 watts) with the MacBook Pro charger (85 watts). The MBP charger should be able to charge the MB, but not the other way around.
    If the charger is good and the battery and its connections are good, then it is possible that the Left I/O Board (which contains the power port) is bad.
    For the battery to charge, three things have to be working--the charger, the battery, and the Left I/O Board. If you have access to an Apple Store, the genius bar should be able to try a known good battery and a known good power adaptor and be able to pinpoint what is really at fault.
    Good luck!

  • Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

    Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
    (The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
    I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

    You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.
