Q: any way to print to printer in my car from ipad 2.


I do landscaping and write up many quotes a day in spring.  I was wondering if it is possible and I have my doubts but who knows, is it possible to print to some printer...no idea which co might make one of any, using a cord from ipad to printer or Bluetooth.

I know this would be a good thing but without a wifi desktop printer, connected to a wifi network at home I do not know if it is even possible.

 

it's just that my writing is horrid and it would make the quote look so much more professional if I could hand them out a printout right there on the spot.

 

if it is even possible who makes a truly mobile printer ??

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 9.2.1

    I Believe..i may be wrong..i tried that last year and it was not compatable.  To make sure i reached out to cannon and told them,i am looking to,print from ipad..wifi only no,data paln to,a printer in my car NO WIFI SERVICE ANYWHERE I would want TO,USE PRINTER and how it works with NO WIFI, NO NETWORK.

     

    unless it prints direct with cable from ipad then it won't work. No WIFI MEANS NO WIFI ON IPAD OR PRINTER. 

     

    will,let everyone know what canon says.

     

    still i doubt it .

    Ask them if their printer can set up an Adhoc WiFi network. I believe HP has one that can. There is no way to print directly with a wired connection.

    thanks for that i most certainly will ask .

     

    it's tough to get real correct answers these days with most tech support not in us.  so when you ask questions many times you get answers that are so far out it's crazy.  last year when i went through this i got tech support to say 2x i could print from ipad.

     

    after days of trying i called  and told them i wanted to talk to US  who told me i could not print from ipad.

     

    very frustrating.
