Which Airprint enabled HP-Printers support ad hoc network?

I want to buy a printer/scanner for my mother who uses an iPad 2 with 3G-connection. She doesn't have Wifi. Now there are several printers which support ad hoc network so that the Ipad could directly connect to the printer and print through Airprint.
First I thought about the Photosmart 5510 or 5515, but i read here in the forum that the 5510 doesn't support ad hoc network.
Can someone please tell me which printers i could use for printing through Airprint and an ad hoc network? Will scanning directly to the Ipad also work?
Thanks a lot and best regards, O.
PS. Meanwhile I found the term "HP wireless direct" which seems to stand in for an ad hoc network. Unfortunately I haven't found any list of printers which support HP wireless direct.
This question was solved.

LearningAdHoc,
I am going to speak from the prospective of the m251 laserjet printer with regards to wireless direct. If you are looking at this printer's control panel and turn wireless direct on, then your iOS device will detect it. You can even go into your Embedded Web Server (EWS) and change your wireless direct and Bonjour name if you would like to make it more recognizable or have more than one printer your would like to have on the network. Once you have done have turned on the wireless direct from your control panel, you go into your setting on your iOS device, wi-fi > choose a network > and choose the printer (caveat - the "spinning wheel" will keep turning, just ignore it). Go back to your setting main menu and you should see that your printer has been choose as the access point. You can then go into your photos, safari, etc and print from them by choose the action button and when the menu comes up choose print > select your print (should already be selected).
The wireless direct connection and the cellular internet connection can be used at the same time but a word of caution....if you have a wi fi network setup, you will have to jump between the 2 to print....make sense?

Printers supporting Radius wireless networks

Do any printers exist that support Radius wirless networking and Mac OS X 10.8??

Simply reconfigure your Airport Express to either use for airtunes only or to extend the range of the existing network. This effectively connects the Airport Express to your main wireless router as a basic access node rather than a separate router creating its own network.
If you consult the User Guide that came with your Airport Express you'll find additional information on how to setup an Express to simply extend a local wireless network rather than function independently.

Automatic creation of ad hoc network

I regularly have to facilitate workshops using Keynote slides. I use Keynote Remote to control the presentation which requires the creation of an ad hoc network that is password protected.
My procedure for this starts with the MBP where in the Finder menu bar I select the Airport Menu then Create Network… and fill in the text in the dialog box. Then turn on WiFi on the iPad and locate this network and join it using the password.
I tend to set the same name for my ad hoc network (showtime) and five digit WEP password which means that the iPad just locates and logs on automatically.
Now I want to automate the setup side as I want to reduce my set up time (and stress) when getting ready for a workshop (it's bad enough having to deal with strange data projectors and hard wired AV facilities) or when returning from a lunch break when I tend to take my MBP and iPad with me for security reasons.
I have found that Location services in the network pane of System Preferences completely lacking as it does not retain details of ad hoc networks users may create.
Anyone know of a good third party application that would automate this? Or a good Apple Script for Mac OSX 10.6.7 that would do it?

I'd forget about administering administrators, and framework-level activities here, and go down a level.
Here's a built-in low-level monitor for local networks:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
You'll typically see the MAC addresses, names and channels involved. Polling that data could probably be scripted to broadcast a notification from a local (trusted) client, too. Roll that up with generic MAC data collection and you can probably identify the client device involved. (Until the gremlins discover MAC spoofing.)
The usual (technical) response to detecting and preventing these networks is not via client settings — phones can do ad-hoc these days, after all — but rather via tools that can explicitly detect rogue access points (APs) and such; an old intro and some Cisco Radio Monitoring details.
Some APs can send disassociate packets into rogue network, though that's a solution and an approach that I'd view rather skeptically, and would want clear and explicit administrative and legal buy-in before deploying anything like that. Same for collecting and saving MAC data and locality data; that can potentially be personally-identifying data. Remember also to account for the possibility of MAC spoofing when forming any administrative or disciplinary policies here, too.

I have an epson workforce 600 which is not listed as airprint enabled. has anyone made this printer work with airprint?

i have an epson workforce 600; it is not listed as one of the printers that is airprint enabled.
has anyone made it work with airprint? if so, please tell me how.
thanks.

The Workforce 600 is not AirPrint-compatible. Epson has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers. Search the iTunes Store or look to the support resources for your model of printer. Third-party printing apps such as PrintCentral are also available. All such apps have limitations, so check them out thoroughly before you pay for any such app.
You could also route the printing through your computer. If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

Printing from iphone 4s, can you print without using airprint enabled printers

printing from iphone 4s, can you print without using airprint enabled printers?

There are other apps that allow printing to various apps.
I use ePrint; works great for my work and home printers.

Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson)

Spooling a job to an AirPrint enabled printer is extremely slow (HP or Epson).
I am a technical support person for the CEO and other executives of a large corporation. I've set up AirPrint capable printers in several homes and seem to be coming across the same issue in a number of these homes. More often than not (the issue is intermittent) when I try to print something from an iPad or iPhone to an AirPrint enabled printer it takes almost a minute for the job to spool. It doesn't seem to matter how long the document is either as the same thing happens whether it's one page or ten. At times the iDevice cannot even find the printer even though the WiFi connection is excellent and the network is functioning properly. We have tried HP and Epson AirPrint devices and it happens to both. When printing from a laptop wirelessly over the network, we do not experience this issue so I don't think it could be a network problem.
In any case, the network setup in these homes is fairly simple. We have a wireless router, a gigabit switch connected to that which feeds various rooms throughout the home. The rooms have Ethernet connections and we have APs set up in some of the rooms to ensure full wireless coverage. In a few of the older home we use PowerLine APs to expand the network.
I've seen others with the same issue but have yet to see a fix. We've tried updating the firmware on the printers, routers and APs but nothing has helped.
HP Printers we've been using: PhotoSmart 7520, OfficeJet 6700 Premium
Epson: Stylus NX430
Does anyone have any other advice?
Thanks,
Paul

Once the job hits the printer it prints immediately. It's right after you tap Print on the iPad that takes a long time. There is a box that pops up saying that the job is being processed (don't remember the wording exactly). Once the box disappears it also takes a bit of time for the job to hit the printer.
The actual process of the printer printing is normal.
Also, in some cases the iPad won't even see that there is a printer connected to the network even though the printer is powered on, online and the iPad is connected to the home network. Usually a reboot of the printer fixes this problem.
Thanks

HP Officejet Pro L7590 to be "AirPrint" enabled

How do i configure my HP Officejet Pro L7590 to be "AirPrint" enabled so my iPad will print to it? Using Windows XP on laptop

The L7590 does not have the ability to set up a customized email address, because it does not have web services (including ePrint) built in.
However, the printer does support using the HP ePrint mobile app which allows one to print from a mobile device using the app to a printer on the same network. Thus, if the L7590 is on the same network (ethernet/wireless) as the mobile device and the device has the HP ePrint mobile app, then one should be able to print through this manner.
For more information see the document located here.

I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8?

I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8? Any ideas for a fix?

iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected?

If I setup a wireless network can I use Airprint on a printer that is NOT Airprint enabled?

The reason for my question is simple, my business has 20 printers and none of them are "airprint" enabled nor do they need replacing. My reps print order forms from their vans using Canon IP or IP100 and outdated handheld devices, (these devices are bluetooth enabled and we've never had a problem printing) I want to upgrade to ipads. I'm starting to feel this wont be possible unless I buy new printers.
Does anyone know if I can buy a cheap wireless router, create a wireless network then connect my ipad to any printer, airprint enabled or not??

Set up a wireless network and connect the lantronix box wired to the router.

Help Enabling 802.11b Support

Can anyone help? All I want to do is enable 802.11b support on my Cisco 877W. My 802.11g clients can see and attach to it no problems. My 802.11b clients cannot see it at all. I have tried all sorts but nothing has helped. My config looks like this:
interface Dot11Radio0
no ip address
encryption key 1 size 128bit 7 BC48CE99C4E9B683819990D3C1A5 transmit-key
encryption mode wep mandatory
ssid *****
authentication open
speed basic-1.0 basic-2.0 basic-5.5 6.0 9.0 basic-11.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0
48.0 54.0
station-role root
no dot11 extension aironet
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
What do I need to add to make it visible and available to 802.11b clients?
Many Thanks,
Matt

I'd start by defaulting the AP back to factory default, no WEP, no authentication.
Check to see if the 802.11b clients can connect.
If all the 802.11b clients are running the same software, check to see that they are up-to-date drivers & client software. If you're using the MS client software (Zero Wireless Config) try a client using the vendor's client software instead.
If the clients are not eve associating, look at the basic parameters: things like preamble length (legacy default is "long" which is a one meg data rate)
If you can get the 802.11b client to connect whith all open parameters, then add WEP. Be advised that some clients need the WEP entered as HEX, not ASCII.
For example ASCII "ABCD" would be "41 42 43 44" in hex ... make sure you're using the same system. IF youre using something like "12345abcde" that can be a valid (but incorrect) hex string when ou really intend for it to be ASCII.
Also note that leading or training spaces (ASCII 20) are valid characters. Make sure you do not have leading or training spaces in your WEP (unless you really want them there, in whch case, make sure they're there)
Make sure the Ethernet format is correct: use the Web GUI to set up. Check the parameters on the "Interfaces" page and do not (at least initially) use the "Best throughput" or "Best Range" settings, leave it at "Default Settings"
If your 802.11b clients are PDAs, bar-code scanners, or other hand-held devices, check that they are at default settings for the standard 802.11b protocols; some use proprietary protocols for better performance or security.
That's about it for me ... let us know if any of that changes (works / doesn't work, but acting differently / doesn't work, looks the same).
Good Luck

Re-enabling DVD-RAM support?

The DVD drives in MacBook and MacBook Pro (usually Panasonic/Matshita or LG, Googling around found those were the only brands shipped with MacBooks) support DVD-RAM media. However, it seems Apple decided to use "special" firmware that basically cripples the drive and disables DVD-RAM support. Well, at least write support (my MacBooks read DVD-RAM OK).
Is there any way to re-enable writing on DVD-RAM in MacBooks? Some non-offical firmware or something, anything?
I found some firmwares for old PowerBook G4 laptops that re-enables DVD-RAM support. But nothing for current MacBooks.

The DVD-RAM and UDF support in Mac OS X is good. It's been around for a long time too, since Mac OS 8.something. I've just copied over about 40 gigs of data from my DVD-RAMs I used for backup on the PC onto my MacBook (as I said, they forgot to disable reading from DVD-RAM, hoooray). It's just the hardware that's intentionally crippled. I could connect my external LG DVD drive (which supports all formats, including DVD-RAM) and use it to write files onto DVD-RAM media.
However, I don't see any reason why would I need to use external drive when internal drive in my MacBook is perfectly capable of doing it (if it wasn't for Apple that decided to flash it with their own firmware which disables the writes on DVD-RAM media).
If it was a desktop system, I probably wouldn't be complaining much. I'd just use my external LG drive. But it's laptop, and hauling external DVD drive around just because some manager decided users should not use DVD-RAM is not really an option...
If anybody from Apple is reading this, could you guys please with sugar on top re-enable DVD-RAM support in drive's firmware? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello. Is it possible to print to an airprint enabled printer without being connected to a PC / MAC or wifi . I want to be able to print documents and emails while on a building site.

Hello.
I was wondering if it was possible to print directly to an airprint enabled printer, without being connected to a PC/MAC/wifi spot ?
I work on a building site and quite regularly have the need to print out plans but do not know how or what deviced I need to purchase to achieve this from my iphone or ipad.
Can someone please help me.
Thank you
