No beer in the fridge, doooouuuu!
Apple nubie here. Bought my iPhone 4s four days ago... I now understand.
Now my wife is thinking about getting one too, BUT, only if I can get our phones to print to a wireless printer. So, I have a quagmire.
I was at Best Buy today looking at airPrint capable printers. Wipped out the 4s and nothing showed up when I tried to print a picture. The sales girl (quite familiar with iPhones,iPads, etc...) knew there was more than one printer on display, powered up, and ready to receive. Another sales person brought over her iPad and showed all the active airPrint printers. There must have been 7 or 8 in her list, yet my iPhone couldn't see any.
Only when I connected to "hpsetup" wireless network (there were other networks in the list) could it print. After the connect only one airPrint capable printer was found on my iPhone. So I'm thinking that all these wireless networks were the printers themselves and I picked the one that was named "hpsetup". It just happened to be an HP DeskJet 6800.
So now I'm thinking, since I already have a wireless network in my home, I can buy the cheapest hard-wire network B&W laser printer I can find and plug it into the back of my router. Am I thinking clearly, or is there a glaring error in my reasoning?
