Printing from the iPad
This lesson explains how to print from the iPad on the College WiFi networks using AirPrint. Teachers are able to print to all printers other than those in the admin offices and the large Media printer in the I7 Media Lab. Students are restricted to using the printers in classrooms or in the Library.
Overview of AirPrint
AirPrint is an Apple technology that lets applications create full-quality prints to AirPrint compatible printers or print servers. The majority of the apps on the App Store make use of AirPrint.
To use AirPrint, you need one of the following iOS devices running iOS 5 or later:
- iPad (all models)
- iPad Mini
- iPhone (3GS or later)
- iPod touch (3rd generation or later)
AirPrint printers or the print server must be connected to the same WiFi network as the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch.
