updated to ios5 and airprint for windows doesn't work anymore. iPhone with ios4 still prints, but iPad with ios5 doesn't find printer. thought upgrade meant 'better functionality', but was mistaken.

AirPrint for Windows was never released. Maybe you are running an old beta version of that software?

Same for me. It worked for both my iphone and ipad 3 days ago but when I updated to ios5, airprint doesnt work. Help!!!!

I ran into the SAME problem. This weekend I found THIS solution (Fingerprint). Works like a charm.. Setup in minutes and solves the problem MUCH easier than the methods I used for doing this in IOS 4.2

Same problem. Before I upgraded to iOS5, I could print to my Canon printer (on my wireless network) from my MacBook Pro and my iPhone. Since I upgraded, I can't print from my iPhone or my MacBook Pro.

I had AirPrint installed on my Windows machine and never had an issue until the upgrade. *sigh*

Same problem with wifi printer (HP 3050) no airprint declared but with software running on windows.

IOS 4.3 + windows XP and IOS 4.3 + windows 7 work perfect with 2 lines of code (or installer) easy find in internet.

IOS 5 + windows XP and IOS 5 + windows 7 NO PRINT - NO WORK - DISASTER

Please Apple, help thousands and thousands of people with this problem.

FingerPrint is a nice program, however the Windows pc and the Ipad need to be on the same subnet. In a Corporate in environment this is not common because wired connections are on a different subnet than wireless ones.

I tried the Fingerpritn trial. Two other things bother me:

1. It does not run as a service. Someone must be logged onto the PC for it to work.
2. It exposes ALL your printers, including all the annoying stuff that windows sticks in there like "Fax" and "Send to OneNote" etc.

I emailed Collabos support about this. They said they are working on #1 (running as a service).

I too have just installed the trial on my server.

It installs OK on SBS2003, although I do get an error when I log off as administrator.

I would like to see it run as a service.

As for the printers caa100, you can choose which printers to permit access to. I have it just showing a single printer from the list.

Apple need to sort this out - it is just them being difficult with Microsoft, something they need to get over. Just because I have an iPhone does not mean I will be getting anything else apple just to use the printing feature! Thank god for third party programmers!

This kind of propriatery messing about is exactly what killed IBM's mainframe and PC business in the 80's. Iam so ****** off that I cannot print from my iPad.

Apple asks us to use their system, they way they want us to use it because "It just works" and then they they place commercially-motivated restriction on us for the sake of their corporate partners agreements. To **** with that.

Google is the next thing. Samsung Galaxy is my next device. For sure. Anyone want a slightly uised iPad?

I totally agree this is an unacceptable practice from Apple..

It worked for me though I had to make a small alteration. For the previous (older) solution, my AirPrint folder had been placed to my C:\Program Files (x86) folder since I have a 64 bit system. So I copied the folder to the C:\Program Files folder and proceeded, with good results.

I did have a lock on the printer when viewed via my iOS5 device so I activated my Guest Accounts (see below). Then I stopped and restarted the AirPrint under Services (Control Panel/Administrative Tools?Services/Airprint) and Voila!

To see how to activate Guest Accounts see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/7412-guest-account-turn-off.html

Before the iOS5 update even if the padlock icon showed up it would prompt for a username and password so you didn't have to have a guest account enabled. I created a dummy 'print' username account that I would use to login. With this new solution it no longer prompts for a username and password. Is there anyway to make it do that again?

Hi Guys, Similar to marq1968's post above, I can see the printer listed, guest account is enabled, no padlock icon.I just get a message saying 'contacting printer' which remains for about three minutes then disappears and the print fails as it says the printer is offline

I have tried restarting the Airprint Service, Restarted the Bonjour Service, Restarted the PC, nothing works so far. Any ideas would be appreciated. marq1968 - maybe you resolved your similar problem and could chip in?

Thanks a lot guys.

When you rebooted the PC, did you log in as usual or did you log into the guest account? You should make sure you log in as usual. I had same problem but rebooting PC and ipad solved it once I logged in correctly.
