This morning I connected it to the new computer, turned it on and gave a try. Yesterday when I tried, the printer was connected to the old computer, not the new one I am preparing. Since its knows that it will be put to rest, it does not cooperate a lot. Printopia will also add virtual printers, allowing you to save. I tried also on my old computer the new one will replace, it didn't work either. Run Printopia on your Mac to share its printers to any capable iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

What have I done wrong ? My computer is brand new, running Win 7 Pro 圆4, and the AirPrint service is started. Press Select Printer, and the app will search for AirPrint-compatible printers on your Wi-Fi network. Is there a way to have access to printers without using Guest ? I tried everything with no luck.Īnyway, since I could pick my printer, I was confident it would work. Press Print, and the Printer Options screen should appear.

I had to tell AirPrint to use the Guest account in order to get rid of the locked icon - I don't like it since there is no password on this account - this is not secure at all. And now, you can too.Was I happy to find out that AirPrint was working on iOS 5. And Printopia’s smart if I print an image, it’s treated as an image file. That means if I snap a photo, take a screenshot, or write something in Pages, I can choose to Print to Dropbox, and the file quickly shoots into the appropriate place on my Mac. So all those options appear as potential pseudo-printers on my iOS devices. In Printopia’s preference pane, I added options like Send to Dropbox, Send to Desktop, Send to Acorn-my image editor of choice-and Send to Cloud, a free service for quickly generating public links to images or snippets of text. Printopia recreates that concept, of printing to different file formats on your Mac, from your iOS device.

That’s when you use the Print dialog on your box not to print a hard copy, but to “print”-and note that I’m saying the word “print” with quotation marks around it-to a PDF document that you can then email off to someone, or save, or whatever you need. You may be familiar with the notion of “Printing to PDF” on your Mac.

The sole requirement is that the Mac on which you installed Printopia needs to be powered on in order for your iOS devices to see the printers.īut as I alluded to before, making your printers AirPrint-ready is at best half of the joy of using Printopia. Tap the Print button, and those printers you checked in Printopia will appear as available options for printing. Go back to your iPhone or iPad and find a document you’d like to print. Make sure the printers you want your iOS device to be able to see are checked-and your setup is complete. That might include printers connected via USB, or printers plugged into an AirPort base station that your Mac also connects to. If you don’t want to have a computer or a NAS turned on all the time, you can use an iOS app to print directly to a non-AirPrint printer. The preference pane should find all the printers your Mac can print to. Printopia installs as a Preference Pane inside System Preferences on your Mac. Once you fall in love with Printopia like I did, it costs twenty bucks to own.

What’s proved even more important to me in my daily use is that Printopia can print to files on your Mac, too-but we’ll get to that in a bit.ĭownload a free trial of Printopia from Ecamm’s website, which we’ll include in the show notes. If your Mac can print to a printer, Printopia can enable your iOS device to do so, too.
