Getting Started With Airprint

The iPad is a great machine. It's light and convenient, and there are plenty of apps to help you get the most out of it. But, it does have its limitations. For example, printing isn't as easy as it should be.

Fortunately, though, there are solutions. For example, the iOS 4.2 update added the AirPrint feature to the iPad. AirPrint lets you print to select printers from select apps.

It would be nice if you could print to any printer from any app using AirPrint. As it currently stands, AirPrint isn't inclusive enough to be considered a complete solution for printing from the iPad.

To use AirPrint, make sure you're running the latest version of the iOS software on your iPad. Then, you'll need an HP printer that supports the AirPrint feature. Fortunately, a number of newer HP printers support the feature. Click here to find out if your HP printer supports AirPrint. When you're ready to print, just select Print from a supported app. Your document will be sent to the printer for printing.
