File this one under It’s so awesome, it’s probably illegal.
The release of iOS 4.2 for the iPad had me waiting for a few new features. Multitasking for sure, but the other was more useful and more mundane. Printing. Specifically, printing wirelessly using Apple’s Airprint feature. Well, seems that it didn’t quite get implemented the way we all had hoped. It only worked with a limited number of printers, none of which I owned. Color me frustrated.
Enter AirPrintActivator. From their website:
AirPrint Activator is a small application that will enable a Mac OSX 10.6.5 + iTunes 10.1 hidden feature to allow your shared printer to be visible on your iOS 4.2.1 devices. AirPrint allow you to print from new generation of Apple iPhones, iPad and iPod Touch to a printer shared over your personal WiFi network.
Downloading and installing couldn’t be easier-just unzip, drag to the Applications folder and double-click to run. Slide the toggle switch to on and you’re just about there.
This part’s important. You have to do this or it won’t work. You have to delete the printer you want to print to, then reinstall it. Viola. Printing from your iPad. Excellent!
Note: I did lose my wifi connection on my iPad momentarily, and had to log back in to reconnect.
