That would defeat the point of buying a cheap printer, but I guess u get what u pay for. I just assume I could buy any new wireless printer to work with the iPad . I was at least hoping their was an app or Apple Guru that could help, besides buying a more expensive printer.

Hi SA-ipad-01


You can download the free EPSON iPrint (which Epson's version of AirPrint) from the App Store. You can install it on your ipad, iphone in fact all IOS devices. I just bought the exact printer today, and i got confused with iPrint and AirPrint. I hope that helps and resolve you issue


Kind Regards

Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.


And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bought a new wireless printer today, discovered after I'd thrown all the packaging out that it didn't have AirPrint after all.

I'm now printing wirelessly from my iPad with AirPrint Activator (now renamed HandyPrint).

Many thanks!
