Question

Printing with iPhone to old HP Laserjet 2200d or new airprint?

I'm switching/updating my calendaring system, which requires that I have a hard, printed monthly calendar 8 months in advance. I bought an iPhone 6 Plus and have a few 3rd party calendars on it. I think I want to us "Calendars 5" as my main calendar. I have always used Microsoft Outlook 2010 for my PC calendar but I have not had any luck syncing my iPhone calendar with Outlook so I can print using the HP Laserjet 2200 which attached to the PC (XP) by cable. So I have given up on this approach.

As a work around, I am trying to figure out if I can just use my iPhone Calendar to enter appointments and somehow print directgly to the Laserjet to get the hard copy of my calendar. After researching lots of options, I think maybe the best idea is to get a cheap airprint printer and try to print up my calendar using a wireless connection and forget about using my PC for my calendar.

Any helpful ideas/thoughts?

Thanks in advance... Tom

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8, HP Laserjet 2200d

To print wirelessly from the iOS device, the printer would either have to be AirPrint compatible, or you would need to see if the printer manufacturer has an app available in the app store that would allow for printing to printers that are not AirPrint compatible. The AirPrint printers need to be connected to your network via Wi-Fi, not directly connected to a computer.
