vailixi Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 On of the guys I work for wanted to print some documents from his iPhone and iPad. I started looking up software. Seems only a few printers work with iPhone and iPad. I would have thought that any network attached printer would work. But they are not all airprint compatible. The printer he's wanting to print to is a LaserJet P2030 series. I wasn't sure if there was an app that would work for this. There is a Windows machine there as well. So I had thought about setting file sharing betweent he phone and and Windows machine so he could drag and drop the documents to the PC and use a VNC viewer to print from Windows but that is a lot more steps than just printing from the iPhone. So is there an easy work around for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rkiver Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Ah airprint, or how Apple wants to make sure you throw more money at them. I've had this issue in a few schools I support where we have more teachers wanting to print from ipads. In short, there is no free way to do it. Few options discussed here: http://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-print-wirelessly-from-your-iphone-ipad-or-ipod-touch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Seems Linux can do it for free: https://ezunix.org/index.php?title=Enable_iOS_AirPrint_with_any_printer_supported_by_CUPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
