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.
