How To Print From iPad, iPhone Without Compatible Printers...

Apple’s latest mobile-operating-system updates now lets you print from any printer from both iPad and iPhone. This brings a much-demanded feature: wireless printing finally to your rescue.
But there is a problem; it will only officially print from printers labeled: AirPrint-compatible. Now I am sure most of you don’t have that one. So what next: what if you want to print from just about any printer? Well here is a solution for that.
AirPrint Hacktivator, which offers a solution for Macs to set up wireless printing with iOS 4.2 with any printer shared on your network. You would just require:
  • Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5
  • iTunes 10.1 (if you have neither, select the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of your screen and click “Software Updates” to download the latest software.
  • And AirPrint Hacktivator [.zip] for that.
Then you need to :
  • Copy the AirPrint Hacktivator software into your Applications folder
  • Just launch the app
  • Switch it on and enter your admin password
  • A window will prompt you to add the printer you want to use with AirPrint
  • The hack will launch the Print & Fax utility in your Settings folder, and you’ll be able to perform the add-printer task here.
  • Now start with your printing, simple.
