Is it freeware/shareware or ad supported? It says on the page that it is $19.95 per install. Does it watermark your printouts? I was able to download it, but I'm not sure I want to install it as my other solutions are free.Quote:

Is there a way to print from an iPad to a printer without a wi-fi connection? I need to be able to print in places with no wi-fi access.
I believe I should be able to do this with a router. Is this correct?
Cheers!
I believe that would be impossible, as the only way for iOS devices to communicate between iOS device and computer/printer is either wifi, or a physical cable, which I have seen no such cable for printing. The last option available is bluetooth. Is that an option that is available for you to use?Quote:

This is an expensive option, but you did ask for 'any way'
One option is to get a laptop, a cable, and some drivers.Quote:

While it should be possible to print to a printer via bluetooth, I don't see it happening as people have settled on wifi.
One can certainly setup an internal wireless network using a router, but doing this without wifi just means you have another cable someplace else. No reason you can't take a printer and a router with you so you can have your own private wifi wherever you go.
I found this video that explains what I mean by using a router. Has anyone tried this?

I will pay to iodine if only it works.
No need to try it...it will work. this is what others have referred to before. You are basically using up a network with no connection to the internet. Most folks have this in their homes...the only difference here is this doesn't need a cable modem or whatever to get to the internet. The wifi in mosts folks house does this, but also has an internet connection. This just leaves that off. If you need to have mobile printing, then this is certainly an option.Quote:
