PrintDirect don’t buy!
I spent hours yesterday trying to set this up and running on my iPad 2 to print email and from Pages. It simply doesn’t work. I wasted the whole day. I had lots of nice emails from EuroSmartz with unclear directions. I went to their web site for their trouble shooting advice only to discover that they say it currently cannot print email or from Pages. You can only print from inside the PrintDirect App. I downloaded Print ‘n Share, also by EuroSmartz, and it works great to print from the other apps on my iPad 2. I’m hoping Apple will refund the purchase price of PrintDirect. Bottom line, don’t buy this app.

Works, but ...
I downloaded the free test app and yes, this does allow printing directly to my Canon mp640, but the print quality is really, REALLY bad. Seems to me that all this app does is create images of the docs for printing. No way I'd pay this sort of money for that.
I get a better quality print by doing a screen capture and printing via the free Canon app.... just about every printer manufacturer provides a free app like this. On the odd occasion I need a good quality print, I'll do it using the free AirPrint patch for pc and channel iPad print through that. It works brilliantly and the print quality is perfect.
Three stars because it does actually print directly to the printer without channeling through a PC, which is a lot more than other print apps will do.

Works
Needed to print from IPad2. Used free version to test if it could find my printer which it did immediately. You set up your email in app then you can print any email you get. Also allows you to print documents from docs to go app....HUGE...for any business person. I'm just glad I found a way to print if I need to from IPad. Worth 8 dollars.

HAPPY
For those upset that the "free" app is minimal, the purpose is to give you a way to test your personal printer setup WITHOUT spending the $. If it works and you are happy, then upgrade for full feature functionality. Tested on my HP ColorSmart 7100 series (mine is 7180) over wifi connection via my iPad1 and it works great. I DID not want to use WePrint, and I don't have to!! Use the freebee to TEST. If it works in a way ur satisfied with... Go for it!

Not for me
This app found my wifi Samsung printer ok, but when I printed the test document it printed pages of garbage. DELETE!
