## What is Printing for iPad?

Printing for iPad enables easy printing of photos, web pages, and various document types.

"AWESOME APP. This app is great for using printers that can't be found with air print. It allows you to search for printers to add using wifi, or even manually enter a printer. 10 stars." - D, Dec 9, 2011

"FANTASTIC. This app did have an initial learning phase but everything is explained quite nicely in the help section. And once I understood the ropes, I can print almost everything I want ( haven't found anything yet which I haven't been able to print actually ). Highly recommended." - Ipad atheist turned devotee, Nov 23, 2011

"I can't stop using this app. Regards." - G, Sep 25, 2011

See the list of printer models this app supports at http://www.ndilitechnologies.com/help.html.


IS THERE A FREE APP I CAN TRY FIRST?

HOW DO I USE THIS APP TO PRINT FROM MY OTHER APPS?
Import the files from your other iPhone/iPad apps into this app, and then use this app to print them.
(The operating system of the iPad/iPhone/iPod, iOS, is designed such that each app you install is given its own storage space. There is no centralized (shared) storage space on your device. This means that this app's proprietary printing engine only works within this app. To say it another way: the iOS does not support/allow third party system-wide drivers. The iOS cannot use this app to print files within another app's storage space—for example, files stored in Pages, Numbers, Safari, Notes, Mail, etc. Therefore, files created in other apps must be imported into this app.)

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-07-12, version 4.1*

What a piece a crap. Wasted 5.00 bucks and can't print e mails

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2016-11-30, version 4.1*

A great app. It works flawlessly with the printers I have including an older Canon inkjet which is connected to the network via a USB print server. 

Can highly recommend this app.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2016-09-28, version 4.1*

Program will not work on my iPad and printer.
Refund refused. The word shyster comes to mind. They take your money and run and hide.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected

*2016-08-02, version 4.1*

You have to upload your file to their server and then print it, you can't just print it straight to your printer.
Too slow and I don't want my documents on some else's server !

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2016-06-01, version 4.1*

Print quality of the test document is good. But otherwise the print quality is unusable.

### 1/5 — What they don't tell you.

*2016-03-15, version 4.1*

You can only print documents in this app. You can't print from an email or note or any other IOS app. What a waste of 5 bucks

### 3/5 — Print app review

*2015-11-02, version 4.0*

Works well enough though with some network printers some strange behaviors can occur

### 1/5 — M

*2015-05-15, version 4.0*

Hopeless and cumbersome. Wasted $7

### 5/5 — Printing App

*2015-01-20, version 3.9*

I have enjoyed using this app on both my iPhone & iPad. It is so easy to follow the instructions given with the app.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2015-01-18, version 3.9*

Makes printing from an iPad to a networked printer by Wifi a simple task. Thanks for this!
