jvlgato Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 With the new uses that will likely arise, I'm thinking it would be very useful to be able to print. Is there an EASY way to print off an iTouch, and presumably the iPad? Meaning you click one button, and it prints the doc or page you are working on/viewing?

As there is no print service, I don't know how you could do it without multitasking a different app even with a networked printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadphoneAddict Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 The app Print n Share for Advanced printing is a partial solution to printing with touch/iphone, using the computer on your wifi network as a print server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I don't know about you, but I want it the other way around, I want to print to my (iPad/Kindle/whatever) in lieu of really printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvlgato Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Is that really why they make it so hard to print?! The tyrant! HPA, thanks for the Print N Share idea. Took a peek, maybe not worth the trouble, though. Are the Saints gonna win this thing? Wow! Trying to minimize the kids watching too much TV, but right now I have the Super Bowl on the big screen, Mulan on the laptop to keep the daughter quiet, and Ben Ten on the little side TV to keep the son busy. I try to save these moves for only the big ones, honest ... Edited February 8, 2010 by jvlgato Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Depending on possible OS support (no doubt the iPad OS will vary from the iPhones), there's the potential Airport Express printer output. That said I think the last printer I owned was six years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Two fun quotes... On the Apple iPad: "One thing you have to understand about this gadget is that the gadget disappears pretty quickly. You're looking into pure software." - New York Times' David Carr On the Amazon Kindle: "It looked like something the Mennonites made 150 years ago." - New York Times' David Carr Charlie Rose & Apple iPad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
