Re: Printing from an iPad ?

2014-04-10 Thread Stephen Chape
Thank you Michael  Daniel.
I was in the Post Office today and saw a Canon Printer with AirPrint for $69.00
I might suggest this to my friend with the iPad.

 I have a similar recommendation for Printopia
 
 http://www.ecamm,com
 
 Like HandyPrint, Printopia is a System Preference which runs on your Mac. 
 As long your iPad and your Mac are on the same wireless network, you can 
 print to any printer accessible from your Mac, from your iPad. Unlike 
 HandyPrint, Printopia is not free, but it does have the bonus feature of 
 being able to send your print job as a PDF to DropBox or Evernote, which 
 alone makes it worth the price of admission.
 
 Hi Peter,
 
 But Printopia will not work on Windows computers and Stephen's friend only 
 uses Windows computer and does NOT have a printer.
 For a Windows computer there is a product called FingerPrint from Collobos 
 Software. It's close in functionality to Printopia and works on both 
 Windows and Mac platforms.
 Setup and use is remarkably similar. You download the software on your 
 computer and not your iPad. It  then shares your physical and virtual 
 printers so that they can be accessed from the Print function on any iOS 
 device.
 But this still does not really help with Stephen's friend's situation. She 
 only prints at a Library using their Printer... not at home.
 Both Fingerprint and Printopia share printers with users on the same 
 wireless network. 
 If the Library where she uses the Printer to print is connected to a 
 wireless network that she can join wirelessly, perhaps she might be able 
 to print from her iPad.
 I would suggest that Stephen's friend speaks with the Librarian at the 
 Library where she prints.

 Ronni

 Hi folks,
 
 A friend of mine has just bought an iPad Air.
 She brought it to my place last night because she could not set up Gmail on 
 it.
 Took me about 5 minutes.
 I think sometimes Apple products are so easy to use that some people can’t 
 see the wood for the trees.
 Someone who has always used Windows tends to think everything must be 
 complicated.
 
 She has a Windows laptop that she still uses.
 When I asked her why she said “when I type documents in Word I can print them 
 from my laptop, but I can’t print from my new iPad”
 
 If she installs Pages is there any way she can print from the iPad ?
 
 The only internet connection she has is a wireless dongle plugged into her 
 laptop.
 She has no printer and says she prints any documents she needs on paper at 
 her local library.
 
 I WOULD IKE TO ENCOURAGE HER TO JUST USE THE IPAD FOR ALL HER NEEDS !

Re: Printing from an iPad ?

2014-04-08 Thread Daniel Kerr
The option is to look at a printer that has AirPrint built into it. With some 
of them you can print directly to printer (sometimes even without a wireless 
network as the printer creates it's own). I think from memory a few if the 
Epson models do this, and they can be fairly inexpensive (between $100 through 
to around $300/$400). 

Just a thought down the track. (Like if the printer stops working or time to 
get a new one )

 cable to the USB socket on my Time Capsule which is the centre of my 
 wireless network.  I installed HandyPrint from my iMac and from thereon 
 in it is available wirelessly to my wife’s MacBook and our shared iPad 
 mini from anywhere in range, irrespective of the state (sleep or not) of 
 the iMac.  Super convenient.

 I have a similar recommendation for Printopia

 Like HandyPrint, Printopia is a System Preference which runs on your Mac. 
 As long your iPad and your Mac are on the same wireless network, you can 
 print to any printer accessible from your Mac, from your iPad. Unlike 
 HandyPrint, Printopia is not free, but it does have the bonus feature of 
 being able to send your print job as a PDF to DropBox or Evernote, which 
 alone makes it worth the price of admission.
 
 Hi Peter,
 
 But Printopia will not work on Windows computers and Stephen's friend only 
 uses Windows computer and does NOT have a printer.
 For a Windows computer there is a product called FingerPrint from Collobos 
 Software. It's close in functionality to Printopia and works on both 
 Windows and Mac platforms.
 Setup and use is remarkably similar. You download the software on your 
 computer and not your iPad. It  then shares your physical and virtual 
 printers so that they can be accessed from the Print function on any iOS 
 device.
 But this still does not really help with Stephen's friend's situation. She 
 only prints at a Library using their Printer... not at home.
 Both Fingerprint and Printopia share printers with users on the same 
 wireless network. 
 If the Library where she uses the Printer to print is connected to a 
 wireless network that she can join wirelessly, perhaps she might be able to 
 print from her iPad.
 I would suggest that Stephen's friend speaks with the Librarian at the 
 Library where she prints.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni
