We are often asked the question “how can I print from my iPad?”

If this question interests you too, read on for information on printing from an iPad or iPhone.

If you print directly from your iPhone or iPad, you will require an AirPrint printer to act in the same way a printer server does. Alternatively, you can use some other device that can act the way a printer server does. This could be achieved using a Mac on which AirPrintActivator or Printopia is running. While printing from an iPad or iPhone, ensure that the Mac is powered on (you can also print using a Mac that is powered on, but is in the sleep mode).

Options for Windows are also available. If you use Windows instead of Mac, obviously, you will need to use options other than the ones listed above. Windows users who are printing using an iPad or iPhone are recommended to search the Internet for more information in this regard.

As far as printing directly from a PC is concerned, you only need a compatible printer. To keep your PC printer in top working order, it is necessary to regularly update the device drivers. Updating printer drivers is easy if you use a driver update tool. Such tools not only update outdated drivers, but they also fix and prevent common printer driver errors.
