Printing from iPad to any shared wireless printer

Did anyone else lose the AirPrint capability on a brother wireless printer as i did when I upgraded to ios5?
The error message is "no AirPrint printers found".

If you happened to be using the Print n Share App on your iPad, upgrading to iOS 5 stopped it from being accessible from within other Apps unless they have the "Open In" option.
If you were sharing your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi, you may need to re-install the AirPrint Activator program, or find an updated version.

  • I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad. What should I do?

    I can print from my PC to my wireless printer but not from my ipad3.  How do I cure this problem?

    If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you need apps like:

  • Want to print from iPad/iphone5 to mx340 wireless. Mx340 doesn't have AirPrint. Bought PrintNShare P

    Want to print from iPad / iphone5 to MX340 which doesn't have AirPrint. Bought Print N Share Pro. Set up options ask if I want to install Mac OS or Microsoft. Will printer still do Microsoft docs if I load OS for iPad?

    Well, without a wireless network she can't surf the 'net!
    Yes, printers require connection to a WiFi network AND they must be AirPrint compliant.

    Exactly my point: it's not a problem of not having the right printer, it's a matter of iOS not allowing it because Air Print is blocking it, probably because of a deal with HP.
    But, I've solved the problem so now I can print from my iMac, my Mac Air, my iPhone and my iPad. No thanks to the folks at Apple who purposely blocked that functionality.
    Can you print from your iPad directly to the printer without involving an intervening computer, yes or no.

  • How to print from iPad or iPhone to Lexmark printer?

    I have tried all that was suggested by Lexmark and Apple forums, still no luck.. looking for someone who figured out the 'trick' of making this work
    I have a Lexmark X6570 on a wireless network
    I have installed LexPrint Listener on a Windows PC and confirmed the service is running
         As there is no 'control panel' or configuration capability on this listener, not sure what it is looking for or doing
    I have shared the Lexmark printer that is configured on this PC (and it works fine from the PC)
    I have configured my Norton Internet Security firewall to allow TCP and UDP via port 9195
    I have installed the Lexmark Mobile Printing app v1.3 on my iPad and iPhone (both running latest IOS
    TROUBLESHOOTING
    All devices are on the same wireless network and SSID, same IP subnet
    Printer, PC, iPad and iPhones are all working on the wireless network normally
    I have shut off the Norton Firewall temporarily, still no luck
    ANYONE get this Rube Goldberg solution working???? Don't really want to buy a new iPrint capable printer, the Lexmark works great otherwise.... I also don't want to drag a sniffer home to diagnose!

    I think Lexmark also has an app. And, while I don't have a lexmark printer, I have a kodak one, but I use Print n SHare to print to it from my iPad. So there are a few options for you to explore

  • Printing from my iPhone 4 to wireless printer

    how do you print pic's from a iphone 4 to a wireless printer?

    You would have to have one of the hp printers that support airprint, or you would have to find an app from the app store that provides this feature.
    iOS: AirPrint 101

  • Printing from MacBook to a shared Windows printer

    I am having a great deal of dificulty setting up my MacBook to print to my shared windows printer. I have tried doing some reasearch on the web and have found a number of difierent atricles and I still could not get it to work.
    I have also called apple support and they "can't" help because they think it's not an Apple issue. I'm not convinced.
    I am running 10.4.6 and Windows XP, and my printer is a Brother HL 1430.
    When I try to create a new printer on my MackBook, I click on the "More Printers" button and I select Windows Printing, Workgroup and I see the windows computer. I click on the windows machine and click Choose.
    So far so good. I get a password authentication dialog box asking me to connect to the PC. I type in my account details and it is at this point that it fails.
    I cannot seem to connect to the PC via this method. I am using the correct username and password - I have tried repeatedly, and I also tried setting up another account and that too failed. Both accounts were admin accounts.
    When I try the username / password, I get an error informing me it cannot connect to the server with the provided username / password.
    However, I do have file conectivity to the PC and I can access it's harddrive.
    The strange thing is - I tried using no account name / password and it passed the authentication and I was able to see my shared printer. I set it up and it failed to print. I have since deleted this setting and I cannot replicate it. I dont understand why it rejects my account details and why it accepted blank account information, and why it no longer accepts the blank details.
    I think something weired is going on here and Apple were unable to help.
    I have tried using the Advanced settings via SAMBA - however, this too fails.
    I am out of ideas and this is really bugging me - I have wasted over 3 hours and I still cannot print.
    Can someone please help!!
    Thanks.

    Is your 'Brother' brand printer, compatible for BOTH Mac and PC? if so, it should/may have come with driver/installation software for both, (on opening the file, are thier/appear to be 2 set's of driver/instruction files).
    If not, I would contact Brother at tech support, and ask if they have new/updated drivers, so the model will work on both PC's and Mac's. I'm running a 3rd party peripheral, that came with the above, i.e, 1 CD/driver installation file, 1 set is for Windows, 1 set for Mac, I installed it on both, and it's flawless.
    The exception, I had to download new drivers for this to work w/ Win..ws XP with Service Pack 2, (it came with Mac drivers, and PC, but only for Win..ws XP, not Win..ws XP w/ Service Pack 2, hope this helps, and will watcgh for repost. GS

  • For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone.

    For no apparent reason, the printing from the iPad to the HP wireless printer was no more possible, while it was still possible from the iPhone 5. Any idea why?

    Gutenprint drivers are intended for non-laser printers. HP supplies the proper drivers, and you can download the latest version directly from HP's support site. Or you can install the most recent HP drivers provided by Apple.
    Printing speeds do not include the time it may take to transfer data to the printer. It also doesn't take into account the time it takes for the printer to be prepared to start printing. Color is much slower than B/W.
    Contact HP for any additional assistance you may need since these forums do not provide support for non-Apple products.

  • Should I  be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1?  My iPad can't find the printer.  Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

    Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1?  I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer.  But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago.  Suggestions??

    Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it.  So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
    There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

  • How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

    How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer. 
    ....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

    Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
    I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
    It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

  • Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

       Hi....is it possible to print from iPad to a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 printer?  Thanks for any help!

    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909 is not an AirPrint printer, if that is what you're asking. HP has proprietary apps that may be suitable for your needs.
    To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
    You can also buy this standalone print server:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    These options enable you to use any printer available to your Mac, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

    That printer is not on the list of approved Airprint printers.

    You will have to use a universal printing app, such as Print Central or Print n Share.  Look in the app store for printing options.

    How to print from IPad.  I have a Canon MX430 airless (wireless) printer

    That printer does not support airprint. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356 for lists of Airprint capable printers.
    You will have to print with one of the many print apps. Canon has some in the App Store.
    There are many other print apps as well:
    PrintCentral
    Print n Share
    etc.
    Check the App Store.
