The iPad has a multitude of features which make it applicable for business use, including wireless printing via AirPrint. Printing directly from your iPad is definitely convenient, but the downside is that you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to use the feature. As of 2012 more than 200 printers are compatible with AirPrint, from the brands Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson, Hewlett Packard, Lexmark and Samsung. AirPrint also requires iOS 4.2 or higher and a Wi-Fi connection.
2.Connect your iPad to the same Wi-Fi network as your printer.
3.Tap any AirPrint compatible app. Native AirPrint compatible apps include Mail, Safari, Photos, Notes and Maps; many third-part apps and paid Apple apps are also compatible with AirPrint.
6.Tap “Select Printer.” If your printer appears on the list, you have correctly configured it for AirPrint.
Tip
- If both your iPad and printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and you still cannot get AirPrint to function, check your printer’s settings to see if you need to enable wireless printing.
