Now when you go to print from your iPhone or iPad and you tap on Select Printer, you should see all the O’Print printers listed under Other Printers. You can click on the Edit button (paper with pen icon) to change the name of the printer if you like. Once the printer is added, go back to O’Print and it should show up in the list.Īt this point, you really don’t have to do anything else unless your printer uses a different port than the standard port. If you do not see any printers in the list, it means you have to go to System Preferences – Printer & Scanners and add the printer to OS X first.
#HANDYPRINT FOR WINDOWS 7 INSTALL#
Once you download and install the software, the main interface of the program will show you all the printers installed on your system. Overall, I found the program’s interface to be a little outdated, but the functionality was excellent.

You can download a free 30-day trial to make sure that it works properly with your printer and system. Windows AirPrintįor Windows machines, the most popular program is O’Print, which costs $19.80. In addition, I’ll talk about some hardware you can buy that will also act as a print server. I’m going to mention several programs, some for Mac and some for Windows. With that out of the way, let’s get into the details. It’s worth considering bypassing all of this trouble and simply buying a new AirPrint-enabled printer as they are pretty cheap these days. Lastly, you’ll have to spend some money as these third-party apps are not free.
#HANDYPRINT FOR WINDOWS 7 SOFTWARE#
The third-party software basically acts as a proxy and all the print jobs go to the computer first and then are passed on to the actual printer. Secondly, in order to print from your Apple device to your non-AirPrint printer, you’ll need to keep the computer on at all times.
It doesn’t matter if the printer is attached locally to the machine or if it is a wireless/network printer, it just needs to be installed on the machine. Firstly, you need to have the printer already installed and working on at least one computer. For those with older printers, handyPrint is a really useful app.Before we get into the details, let’s talk about the requirements for this to work. In use, handyPrint is transparent and most users won't worry about Airprint support at all. We added several older Canon and HP printers to our iMac hub device and could then use handyPrint to access them from any iOS or MacOS device that was sharing that iMac. Turn that device off, and Airprint capabilities to that printer is lost (unless you have other devices that have it enabled).

For handyPrint to work with a shared networked printer, the printer has to be accessible by a Mac OS or iOS device that is on and can see the printer, acting as a hub for Airprint capabilities. It also shows local printers that are discovered on the network, allowing you to support them through Airprint (even if they do not have native Airprint support). It integrates with the menu bar, adding a new "Open handyPrint" option that pops up a dialog allowing you to control Airprint access through handyPrint or not. HandyPrint installs on your favorite iDevice easily enough. We couldn't find handyPrint on the App Store, but there are several sites, including the publisher's (), that offer downloads. Designed to run on iOS and Mac OS X, handyPrint may be a great solution for those who either have older printers, or find that Airprint support has been lost during an OS upgrade. Airprint Activator, now known as handyPrint, is an app that lets you put Airprint support on older printing devices that do not natively support this protocol.
