Congratulations, you now know how to print with your iPhone and iPad. This technology has already found application among users, which Apple has repeatedly spoken about at its corporate presentations. Do you use AirPrint technology? [9to5]

Many people have ever had to print various documents: whether they are photographs, texts, pictures, or something else. This operation had to be performed exclusively with the help of a computer and a printer, which are connected to each other by bulky wires. But times pass and technology changes. In our time, you can print absolutely any document using a smartphone and a printer, which work without any wires, only using a local network.

You can print a document using a well-known gadget - iPhone 6. Moreover, this operation is quite easy, as, for example, send an SMS message from the device. In order to print files with high quality using an iPhone, you can ask for help both to the built-in functions of the smartphone and to programs specially designed for this.

Familiarize yourself with the standard features of printing to your printer

To understand this process, it is worth familiarizing yourself, first of all, with the standard function of the iPhone. AirPrint... Wireless printing technologies have made this function available to absolutely all users of the gadget. In addition, this development is compatible with almost all printers. Often, a printer that supports AirPrint will automatically apply desired settings... Otherwise, you need to configure everything yourself. To do this, just go to the system settings of the devices, and then enable the desired function.

Help program for printing - Handy Print

In addition to the standard function that supports printing to a printer using iOS on the iPhone 6, there are also specially developed programs. So in the event that the printer is not AirPrint compatible, you can safely do this with Handy Print... This development is quite common among iPhone users, and is also very practical and convenient. There are two types of this program - a beta version, and a paid version. There is no difference, just on the beta version it will not work for a long time and at the end of the trial period, an iPhone user will not be able to do anything with it. Handy Print is compatible with all iOS versions, including iOS8, which runs the iPhone 6. So after installing it, the printer located directly on the network will be displayed on the iPhone screen.

In order to print the desired file, the user will have to do everything that he did with AirPrint.

The only drawback, apart from the beta version, is that when printing, you need to carry out the smooth operation of the computer, otherwise nothing will come of it.

Printer Pro handy option

As a last resort, if you do not have a printer that supports AirPrint, or a computer with OSX, you can use the Printer Pro for iPhone program, which also serves to print various documents from the iPhone.

This development is paid, but before the purchase you can download it trial version, in order to make sure that it is compatible with the printer. Printer Pro for iPhone allows you to print four sample documents, in addition, it can be used to test the functionality of the application itself and calibrate the area to be printed. As for the full version of the program, it does not work like the two above. To carry out the printing process, the iPhone user will need to open documents already in the program and print, of course, also in the program. PrinterProforiPhone has a rather interesting function that allows you to print from other programs, for example, PDF Reader, Dropbox. To do this, click the "Open in .."

In addition, with the help of this development, you can carry out any other actions, including the rotation of the format, and its selection, printing of individual pages, and much more. In general, in short, this program works in the same way with a printer.

EpsonPrint

But what if you don't want to buy a program that prints to a printer? For this, the developers of the printers themselves and programmers of various companies have created special programs that will help the iPhone owner to do what he wants. A colorful example is the development of Epson Print. Its advantage is that it automatically finds devices that will be compatible with the iPhone 6 directly on the local wireless network. EpsonPrint allows you to print various documents that can also be opened in Dropbox, Google Drive and other programs using the "Open in ..."

This development is also inherent in a built-in browser for direct download, as well as printing web pages, moreover, you can register with a special service, with which you can print files on various printers that support print functions via e-mail.

Google Сloud Print new features

It's no secret that all developments have made a big step forward. Including for printing to a printer from the iPhone 6. But, in addition to using the above programs, there is another way with which you can print from an iPhone to a printer. This is Google Gloud Print, which makes all printers compatible with the iPhone.

In this case, the selected printer is connected to the Google cloud, which reduces the steps to set up printing. To print a document, you need to log into your personal Google account on your iPhone.

So with the help of various means, you can safely print the files you want from your iPhone through a printer without using wires, but exclusively over a local network.

Some people think that ordinary printers are already yesterday, someone thinks that printing on paper has long been outdated, but if you look around, it is not at all difficult to notice that it is still everywhere. Moreover, they still occupy a rather important place in our everyday life.

Humanity prints something all the time. And it's good that today a laser or inkjet printer is not piled up on your desktop, but it's still somewhere, isn't it?

After all, each of us has to print a photo, document or presentation from time to time (if not hourly). Modern technologies allow you to print all this without a wired connection to a printer or directly from a smartphone, tablet and even a player.

Here we are going to tell you how to print via Wi-Fi from iOS devices like iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, which have a special function for this - AirPrint.

First of all, you need to set up the printer itself (we will also call the MFP a printer here), for which we first find out whether your printing device supports the mentioned AirPrint function. How? go to the special page http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356 Apple support and find the device model in the list of compatible devices.

FOUND?
Fine! Now you need to connect your iOS device and printer to the same WiFi network. Surely one of them is already connected to some network, so you already have access to passwords. To check the connection, open the Notes application, type text, press the cube with an arrow and find "Print" in the list. The list of connected devices should show a freshly connected printer. If it was not there, click on the "Printers" tab, start the search and catch the desired model as soon as it appears. Press "Print" again and your text is sent to the printer. The transfer speed depends on the parameters of your Wi-Fi, but one way or another it won't take long.

NOT FOUND?

If it so happens that your printer does not support AirPrint, then you shouldn't worry too much. For such cases, the Fingerprint program was created (so far it is available only for Windows computers and Macs), which runs in the background and, figuratively speaking, makes iOS devices think that any printer connected to them is AirPrint compatible. Further in order:

1. Download and install Fingerprint on a computer or laptop. The application is not free - a fully functional licensed copy costs about $ 20 (cheaper than a new printer), but for testing the user is first offered a free trial version (keep in mind that the test version of Fingerprint marks printouts with "watermarks").

2. Launch Fingerprint. The shortcut after installation can be found, respectively, in the Windows taskbar or in the top menu of the Mac. In the left side panel, we find the list of installed printers and select the one with which you want to connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. We close the window.

3. Just in case, make sure that your computer and iOS device are connected to the same WiFi network. Installation completed.


To test the connection, open the Notes application, then press the arrow button and select "Print". The connected printer must be marked as the selected device. If it is not there, click the "Printers" tab, the search starts, select the desired name. Click "Print" again and take the sheet in the printer tray.

Important to remember: For this to work, the computer on which the Fingerprint software is installed must be turned on and connected to the same WiFi network as your iOS device (s).
