Can I use AirPrint with other printers? Can I make another printer compatible? If I was to be in the market to buy a new printer I would probably go for a wireless model for convenience, but all these printers work immediately with AirPrint and donвЂ™t require any additional setup or hacks, you should be able to find them on your iPad, iPod touch, or iPhone and print to them completely wirelessly. YouвЂ™ll notice that some of the printers are basically the same model number but may have a вЂwвЂ™ thrown onto the model to emphasize the built-in 802.11 wireless capabilities, the Laserjet printers without those just need to be hooked up to a computer but they will still support AirPlay. This supported printer list is directly from Apple.

If you have an iPad, iPhone 3GS or later, or an iPod touch (3G or later), itвЂ™ll be the first thing youвЂ™ll want to install on your Mac after Apple releases iOS 4.2.1.Here is the current list of printers that are AirPrint compatible right now, according to Apple: This is one of those coming of age products that we knew was coming and that would fulfill the promise of, especially, the iPad. Suddenly, iOS 4.2 on your iPhone or iPad, will bring it to life. ItвЂ™s not expensive, but itвЂ™s very capable.

An iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch that supports multi-tasking.

Use either one.Д®camm expects that even after Apple enables IPP printing via Printer Sharing, Printopia will have new features that will make it worth keeping and using. The Printopia printers will show the icon and have the notation вЂњPrintopia XXXXвЂќ when XXXX is the name of your Mac.

When you look at the print popover on your iOS 4.2.x device, you see the printers shared by Mac OS X, and again, the printers shared by Printopia, in the same list. When, and if, Apple enables IPP printing via Printer Sharing in, say, 10.6.6, the two wonвЂ™t conflict. Pick the one you want, and youвЂ™re off and running. If you have Printopia running, touch вЂњSelect Printer,вЂќ and youвЂ™ll see print options like this: IOS 4.2 apps that are enabled for printing will have a popover that looks like this: ItвЂ™s refreshing to see this kind of manual for something thatвЂ™s only a Preference Pane.

Print conventionally to a printer connected to a Mac.

Printopia is remarkably capable and flexible for such an inexpensive program. Every printer they have tested, however, has worked with Printopia. Moreover, initial 10.6.5 beta testing by Ecamm suggested that not every printer connected to a Mac with Printer Sharing would work using IPP - before the feature was pulled.

(System Preferences -> Sharing - Printer Sharing.) And you donвЂ™t need Mac OS X 10.6.5, just 10.5 or later. The upshot is that you donвЂ™t need to have to have Printer Sharing turned on. This approach, according to Ecamm Network, allows them to add features and is a better approach than simply trying to trick CUPS into speaking AirPrint. The Ecamm print server speaks a subset of the IPP protocol, so itвЂ™s instantly visible to most any iPad, iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4.2 (see the System Requirements). Any printer connected to your Mac thatвЂ™s already printing normally will work. Once installed, it launches a print server of its own.

Removal is easy, just right click the Preference Pane item.

Installation is trivial a Preference Pane is installed and shows up in System Preferences.

Why Apple pulled the feature that they had previously announced is not clear. Printopia is useful because Apple removed the ability of Mac OS X 10.6.5, just before it was released, to provide printing services, via Print Sharing and IPP, to iOS 4.2 devices. An iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (3G+) with iOS 4.2.x can then print to any printer you have connected to your Mac, independent of Mac OS Printer Sharing.

Printopia is a Preference Pane thatвЂ™s basically a print server on your Mac.
