How splendidly misinformed and insulting. On ballance I think I'll just connect the iPad to the work machine and buy Win7 phones for our personal use, at least I can get MS stuff to work and talk to the house infrastructure. Long way of saying that all this is uphill for me. At which point I pass her the iPod and she gats on with it, dont think I've ever actually used the iPod. I've never used a Mac (and no desire to) and my experience of iTunes is limited to loading it onto a Win 7 box importing all my wifes CD and syncing her iPod. Whilst I've quite a bit iof experience with IT I'm not at all interested in either music or social media. Lots of you guys live and breath Apple and the perception is that everybody understands the basic fuinctionaliaty of the devices, largely I suspect through the music applications and social networking (facebook et-al) stuff.

I work in a Windows environment and at home other then the wifes iPod all our IT infrastructure is MS Windows and theres no way I'd even consider a Mac. No I wont be buying a printer just for the iPad! I now realise that this was somewhat wide of the mark or that I'd misinterpreted what Apple said and that the printing function is limited to a very very small number of HP printers. What I intended to convey was that I was aware that when released the original iPad did not have the ability to connect to printers, but I though an update to the iPad firmware/OS had fixed this. 'I'd heard that Apple had fixed the no print thing' So don't ask me how it did it, but it worked perfectly. My Epson printer is connected to my iMac via a USB connection. I went to my iPad 2 and clicked print, it sent it to my printer and it printed. Once I downloaded the demo (to my iMac) it automatically set everything up. I went to the site and downloaded their demo and instantly IT WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!! It worked as if someone at Apple had designed it. That is until a friend of mine told me about Printopia. So, I gave up on the idea of making my iPad 2 print with my Epson.

Hard to use, couldn't make them work and so on. I downloaded two of these apps that were supposed to be great.however they were not. Not so good.įor several days I have read about different third party apps you can use to make your non-Airprint printers work with the iPad 2. I found out that Airprint only works with certain HP printers. I bought my Ipad 2 about a week ago and was thrilled that I could print from it.that is until I got home and read more about the printing options.
