Ipad is more and more popular due to its powerful
functions and amazing appearance.It makes life easily and
effectively.We can get all
kinds of video?music?ebooks?games on it,and enjoy them
everywhere.With it,we live a more convenient and interesting life.
Among other things, the iPad is a great way to save paper: It
lets you carry around all kinds of digital documents that you might
otherwise have had to print.
But from time to time you may still need to print data that's
on your iPad--
business documents that you created in Pages and
Numbers, for example, or driving directions to hand someone who's
not packing silicon. Printing from the iPad can be easy if your
needs are modest, but even if you require extensive printing
control, there is, as they say, an app for that.
(The following steps work for any iPad, including the iPad 2
and both Wi-Fi and 3G models.)
The basics
Even though you can add a
USB port to your iPad with Apple's iPad Camera
Connection Kit, it's no use plugging in a USB printer, because iOS
doesn't know how to talk to printers via USB. Some printers have
built-in Wi-Fi (a natural match for the iPad). But for the rest,
you'll need a computer or other proxy device to serve as a conduit
for iPad print jobs: your iPad connects wirelessly to your Mac (or
other device), and that in turn connects to the printer.

But the communication channel is only part of the picture;
you also need
software that knows how to send data to the printer in
the right format. Starting with iOS 4.2, Apple built printing
support into the iPad with a technology called AirPrint. Any app
that has been updated to take advantage of AirPrint can print
wirelessly to a compatible printer with a couple of taps.
For reasons that only Apple knows, the initial implementation
of AirPrint works with just a handful of newer HP printers that
support something HP calls ePrint. If you happen to have such a
printer (HP has a list of them on its Website), and it's on the
same local network as the iPad, your iPad will be able to see it
and print without any special configuration. (ePrint also gives
your printer a private e-mail address, so you can also e-mail a
document as an
attachment, and it'll print automatically.)
If you aren't
fortunate enough to have an HP ePrint-compatible
printer, however, you can still use AirPrint with the vast majority
of printers. All you need is a bit of extra software that runs on
your Mac.
Activating AirPrint
Two such applications are quite similar: Collobos Software's
FingerPrint and Ecamm Network's Printopia. Install
either of these utilities on a Mac on your network, select the
printer(s) you want your iOS devices to be able to use, and you can
then print to those printers from your iPad just as if they were HP
ePrint printers. Both of these tools let you print from your iPad
to any local or network printer; they also let you use the Print
command to send documents to your Dropbox or a folder on your Mac
in lieu of a printer.

However, the two applications do have their differences.
FingerPrint requires OS X 10.6 or higher, and it has an option to
"print" directly to iPhoto on your Mac. But before a printer
appears in FingerPrint, it must be
shared using the Print & Fax pane of System
Preferences. Printopia supports OS X 10.5 or later, works with any
printer (shared or not), and can send files from your iPad to a PDF
or PNG file on your Mac (much like OS X's print-to-PDF capability).
As of
version 2.0, it also lets you "print" not only to
iPhoto but to any Mac application, save files to any number of
folders on your Mac, use any PDF Workflow on your Mac (such as
e-mailing PDFs--click the PDF pop-up menu in any OS X Print dialog
to see all your options), and configure printer settings. For all
of those reasons I greatly prefer Printopia.
Another option exists, too, and it's even free (donations
requested): Netputing's AirPrint Activator. But although it serves
the same basic purpose of enabling AirPrint to use any printer your
Mac can see, AirPrint Activator has a rather tedious setup process,
and doesn't offer a way to print to Dropbox or to a folder on your
Mac.
Printing with AirPrint
Once you have either an ePrint-compatible printer or an
AirPrint enabler set up, printing from your iPad is simple:
First, look for the Print command. Assuming an app has been
updated for AirPrint support, this command is in there somewhere,
although the location varies--sometimes it appears when you tap a
button with the word Print or a printer icon on it, other times it
may be in a popover that appears when you tap a Tools, Send, or
Action icon. (When in doubt, check the app's help.)
Next, if this is your first time using AirPrint, or if you
want to switch printers, tap
Select Printer and then tap a printer name. The
printer you select becomes the new default printer, meaning you can
skip this step next time if you want to use that printer again.
To change the number of copies, tap the plus (+) or minus (-)
button. If the document has more than one page, you can limit which
pages print by
tapping Range and selecting the start and end page
numbers. When you're done, tap on Print.
Your document will begin printing. While that is in progress,
you can double-tap the Home button and then tap the Print Center
icon to view and manage your print jobs; Print Center disappears
when printing is done.
So with the above steps,you can get papers from your ipad.Is
