#Printopia for ipad 2 download for mac#ĪirPrint for Mac computers was introduced in the Mac OS X Lion release.

Īt launch, twelve printers were AirPrint compatible, all of them from the HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One series. As of July 2020, that number had grown to about 6,000 compatible printer models from two dozen different manufacturers. The current list can be found on Apple's support site.

The related technology is covered by US patent 2011194123A1, "Printer that supports driverless printing".

Ī number of software solutions allow for non-AirPrint printers to be used with iOS devices, by configuring support on an intermediary system accessible via Wi-Fi, connected to the printer.

Since AirPrint is driverless, such a configuration compensates for the printer's lack of native AirPrint support by using the drivers on the intermediary system instead. The simplest solution for all platforms is to create a new Bonjour service that tricks iOS clients into believing they're talking to an AirPrint device. Many blog posts and commercial software products exist to accomplish this, as well as open-source solutions in Linux.

This works in many cases because AirPrint is an extension of the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), which many printers already support either directly, or as a result of being shared through an intermediary system (typically CUPS, the Mac/Linux printing system). This approach is limited however, as the AirPrint-specific components of the protocol are missing. This can lead to compatibility issues and unexpected results. Some software packages address this completely by translating between the two dialects of IPP, avoiding compatibility issues, while most just re-share printers using the AirPrint service name.įor Microsoft Windows, there are free and paid solutions. On macOS, a Bonjour service exists that enables AirPrint support for legacy printers. #Printopia for ipad 2 download software#Ĭommercial macOS software for this purpose includes Netputing handyPrint and Ecamm Printopia. In most Linux distributions, AirPrint support should be automatic with the CUPS default printing subsystem since version 1.4.6 (such as Trisquel 5 and Ubuntu 11.04 ).
