Printing from different computers using WIFI

I've got Wifi at home. My wife and I have different computers, I'm Mac and She's PC, and I'd like to set up wireless printing using the wifi. Can someone point me to a page that will educate me on how to do this? I remember seeing something about this capability in SnowLeopard, but I have no clue where to start.
Thanks
Bruce

Can I print from my iPad using wifi

Can I print from my iPad using wifi thanks

I know I can use Airprint and other solutions; that wasn't the point. That will no doubt work from home but what use is that to me in other location? I'm looking to print online purchase receipts, customer receipts, photos, emails etc. Chances are I'll be doing all that from my PC anyway and will stick to that. Why would I want to email my local printer and wait till it gets back to me? And why would I want my PC on just to print? Why wouldn't I just print direct from the PC? I'm missing something here. Why overcomplicate a direct process?
Would you be saying the same thing if mountain lion removes print access and you're told to use airprint? No you won't!
I want to print emails etc from my ipad as I wander different offices, or different houses. That other software did it (at a price I wasn't acepting) and I would assume someone else will build it in eventually, I have to ask why Apple want this controlled through one channel (largely) and can only see it as another tie-in to some money garnering solution in due course. It can't be processing or memory limitations as its 64Gb and Apple tell me it's a powerful gadget.
Time to see what my Asus will allow.... can't be this bad surely, but you never know. Trusty networked HP6 laserjet (via jetdirect box) and Oficejet8000 (duplex) aint going to be replaced in the near future. Trusty workhorses do all I want, efficiently, effectively, and cater for 4 users in this home.

Can I print both wireless and USB to same HP 8625 printer from different computers?

I Just installed a new HP Officejet Pro 8625 printer which is connected to my desktop computer via a hard wire USB connection. I also have a separate PC which is used for connecting to my Wi-Fi network. Can I have the same printer connected to one computer via a hardwire USB connection and enabled to perform wireless printing from another computer?

Gathering documents from different computers?

Im writing a project on about 100 pages, we are seven students writing it, and we are all contributim by writing from different computers using different writing programs. This means that I have to gather documents with different margins, spacings etc. when im finnishing the projekt.
How can I make all margins, spacing etc. the same? And exactly what should I remember to change, in order to get the document to look like it was written from one computer?

Well my first initial thought would be close to what you are describing, to gather all documents in one document, mark it all and start changeing, but what I want to make sure is to what settings I need to be aware of, are there other than margins, font, spacings? There are different spacings from when you hit enter to a new line to when you press the tabulator to indent a new line. Just clicking on the i button and then the T, alot of different settings comes up concerning different spacings, linings etc.

Take laptop & printer to client, need to print from client computer using my printer

I nstalled my HP Laserjet 1102w to my laptop with my ips address to work wireless.
I take my laptop & printer to client's location and need to print from their computers using my HP Laserjet 1102w.
I network in to their ips address using my laptop to.
Could not install my HP Laserjet 1102w on their computer & print from their computer.
How do i print from my HP Laserjet 1102w using their computers at their location?
Thanks!

Hi debitacct ,
Thanks for clarifying that information.
You would have to restore the printer's defaults and reset up the printer on their network at the new location every time, to be able to print from the clients computer and you would have to connect to their network on your computer and add the printer back in again with the new IPv4 address.
Another way you could do this is through a USB connection or use the Wireless Direct.
You would have to enable the Wireless Direct on the printer through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you didn't select this feature during the installation. This will allow both computers to connect directly to the printer and print, but keep in mind you won't have internet access at the same time. So you can print when connected to the printer's network or connect back to the main network again to access the internet.
Here are the steps for enabling the Wireless Direct through the printer's Embedded Web Server if you decide to go this route. Print a configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Configuration Page.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Then click on the Networking tab, select Wireless Direct Setup on the left side and check the Enable wireless direct printing.
I hope I explained that alright for you. The USB connection would most likely be the easiest way to go.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

And have you waited that long? If not, then that's why it's not done yet.

Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

In adobe reader, I can't print from different trays?

Using Adobe Reader, I can't print from different trays on my Lexmark x954 printer. I've tried reinstalling the print driver (latest version) and reinstalling Adobe Reader with no luck. I can see the trays and even select them in the print dialog box in adobe but when I print I am unable to print from the correct trays. It always prints from tray 3 of my printer no matter what tray and type of paper I choose in adobe. Any suggestions?
I've also noticed a problem printing through Preview. I can select different trays using preview but the print time is extremely slow. It seems like it has to re-download the pdf page each time it goes to print. So a 100 page print job takes 20-30 minutes to complete which means other have to wait for my job to complete so it really slows our office down.
Thanks for your help. Also, I am using the mountain lion operating system. Thanks again!

Don't know whether it will make any difference, but a new version of Adobe Reader has just been released:

Put itunes downloaded from different computers on same ipod?

Hello,
I have downloaded itunes onto two different computers using the same account. How do I put these itunes onto my ipod without deleting any content? Thanks, Jake.

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer change the update setting on your iPod to manual. Connect your iPod to the computer you are using it on now an in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

HT4623 Printing from iPad 2 using iOS 6 to Wi-Fi printer

Need help printing from iPad 2 using iOS 6.0.1 to HP printer.

It does appear in the List of Air Print compatible printers. Assuming the Printer is connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad, then simply choosing the Print option within any App should bring it up.
You may need to refer to the Printers Manual to get it connected to the Wifi Network.
There's no real confuigration to be done on the iPad.
You can print from the Apple applications iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari. Apps available from the App Store may also offer this feature.
To print, follow these steps:
Tap the action icon .
Tap the Print button.
Configure the printer options and then tap Print.
Note: If you are printing for the first time, or if the previously selected printer is not available, you will need to select the printer before step 3.

Adobe Presenter: working from different computers transferring files

I am using Adobe presenter. I need to work from home, so have copied my powerpoint and all its associated adobe presenter audio files from one location to another. I used to be able to do this without problems. However, it seems I'm no longer able to do it: I open powerpoint and go to the adobe presenter toolbar and try to record more audio and clearly the system shows no audio is associated with this file. Getting out of adobe presenter makes the system delete the folder with associated audio files (it seems it is not linking them properly, but still recognising them as adobe presenter audio files and deleting them as if to start recording from scratch).
Can anyone help? how can I work on the same files from different computers without losing the data (or the links) in between?
Regards,
Gabriel

Hi folks
One way to achieve this easily is by using DropBox. This will create a folder that you sync to the cloud. Then you create a Dropbox on the second computer and whatever you change and save is automatically updated and transferred to the other computer keeping them in sync. Works really well.

Spent 5 hours trying to print from my chromebook via wifi or cloudprint

spent 5 hours trying to print from my chromebook via wifi or cloudprint nothing works

Hi,
I've included a link below that should help with your cloudprint setup.
https://www.google.com/landing/cloudprint/index.html
If you're using a mobile device like a phone or tablet, the simpletest way is download the HP eprint app and ensure that both your mobile device and printer are both connected to the same wifi network - once this happens, you'll see the printer within the eprint app.

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from this app thru wifi. But it can,t print mail, web pages, etc..

How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5. I can print from the app thru wifi and PC. However am unable to print mail, web pages, etc..
In mail when I try to print it just says can,t find air printers. It used to say print with print n share.

I sent e-mail to developer regarding this and they said that basically Apple has denied them access to the Airprint dialog in the new source code for iOS 5. So, the only way to print to pdf is to capture the e-mail or webpage in the internal apps within Print n Share. INHO, this really *****. Apple should make printing to pdf files just a standard feature of all their apps. If they don't do this, they are going to lose alot of business to the Adroid world as pdf file format is the business standard for all documents.
