Free iPad printing app?
« on: September 07, 2010, 05:54:13 pm »
Is there one That I can download and install and use without the use of another pc? Mainly to print documents rather than pics.

And is there an easy way to copy an attached file from an email and save it on the iPad? Or does the file need to be iPad compatible?

The next iPad update, which is out Oct/Nov I think, includes wireless printing.

Not sure about printing, although from Nov when iOS 4.2 comes out you will be able to wirelessly print from the iPad

With regards to documents in Emails. Just open the E-Mail on your iPad and as long as the Doc is in a format the iPad supports (.doc, .xls, .ppt, .pdf etc) then it will stay on your iPad

That's great news about the latest update supporting printing :smiley:

Problem with saving attatchments are that most are not supported formats, maybe I will try and rename the file extension and see if that works :stupid:

What formats are they in?

You may have to get the iWork apps so Keynote, Pages, Numbers etc for the iPad (£5.99 each iirc) for some of the files to be supported :happy2:

The next update for iPad is not out till Nov though.
