Editing printing-settings with AirPrint

Hello. Just bought myself an Epson Stylus SX445W from the Apple Store, AirPrint compatible.

On my computer I can edit the printing-settings, but they only affect printing from the computer itself (for example if I edit settings to print out in black and white, the computer will, while the iPad won't).

Reason I want settings changed is because printing from the iPad is extremely slow, while printing from the computer or other devices is fast.

So, is there any way to edit the printing settings from the iPad?

Yes PDF from iBooks can print selected page ranges but native email and safari do not offer this option. I am using hp envy 100a that is AirPrint capable. I was not able to find out if the AirPrint protocol is so restrictive or the app. In addition as mentioned it would be nice to have printing in draft quality as this usually is faster and saves ink.

Both the Mail application and Safari offer page range selection when printing documents. For example opening a PDF in either application and then printing offers a page range.

I have just purchased an Epson NX530. It works well from my MacBook wirelessly but AirPrint is incredibly slow from my iPad or iPhone. I am very disappointed and agree that it seems to be printing at photo quality. It takes up to 5mins to print one full page of text. I purchased this printer especially because of AirPrint, as with the advent of iCloud I'm going to retire my old MacBook. Would be great if anyone has an answer to speeding up this AirPrint and changing it to document speed rather than photo speed. Thanks.

HI,

I have just bought an Epson L365 AirPrinter, and I can't seem to print directly from pages/numbers/email Documents either, I need to transfer them to the Epson app (via Dropbox or similar). Did you figure out how to print directly?

Hoping you can assist please.

Thank you.

Regards,

Arpita.

I nearly bought the HP 5510 but went for the Epsom due to its more compact size, I bought direct from Epson and they only accept unopened box returns. -:(
