So, you have an iOS device and would love to print wirelessly from it. The only problem is you don’t have one of the 25 HP printers that have the compatible “ePrint” feature built in and you don’t want to replace the printer you already own. Out of luck? Not necessarily.
AirPrint Activator is a free application that can be downloaded to your Mac (or PC, see system requirements). It is even compatible with the awesome new OS X 10.7 Lion you just updated to. This application takes the printer you already have hooked up to your computer and shares it over your wireless network, letting iOS devices see it as well.
Once you have installed the application from the link below, launch AirPrint Activator. You’ll only have to turn it on once. It will remain on even after rebooting your computer. Enter your Administrator password and AirPrint Activator with tell you that activation is complete. You’ll have to remove your printer from System Preferences and re-add it before you can begin printing wirelessly from your iOS devices.
To do so, go to System Preferences, Print & Fax, and select the printer. Click the minus symbol to remove it and click the plus symbol to re-add it. Check off “Share this printer on the network”. Your iOS devices will now see the printer over your network and be able to print wirelessly to it!
Click here to install AirPrint Activator and enjoy!
