Q: What printers beside HP will work continuously with an i-pad?  I tried Canon and Epson and both time-out after a short time, requiring the user to re-initialize.  This defeats the idea of a wireless printer,  Thanks Art

What printers besides Hp will work continuously with an i-pad?  I tried Canon and Epson and both time-out after a short period of time rerquiring the user to re-initialize, which defeats the purpose of wireless printing.  Please help, Apple can not.  Thanks to all.  Art

    This type of problem is usually an issue with the router rather than the printer. What make and model router do you have?

    My router is a Belkin wireless N+ model #F5D8235-4.  Best Buy support told me only HP printers will work continuously.  Canon support told me that the I-pad printer driver would not work with any printer, including HP.  They offered to fix the problem for $50.  I turned them down.

    If they really could fix the problem, they must be saying to update the printers firmware. Look on the cannon website & update the priners firmware.  While you at it, update the routers firmware.

     

    What printer do you have?
