iPhone Printing Wirelessly!
The Mobile iPhone Computer Article 1
Here is one example of the iPhone being less as a phone and more of a computer. One of the things I found out about the iPhone is the bluetooth software doesn't have any software for connecting to a bluetooth enabled printer. You can make a connection if you have a Mac via AirPrint access which will print from the Mac to the printer or have an Apple printer. Now if you are like me and you are a Window Vista user you are pretty much out of luck using a standard window printer. I did some research into this problem to see if anybody had some kind of fix.
Here is what I found was there is a company out there called PrintCentral with an app by the same name.What you do is bight the app and install it on the iPhone, in my case an iPhone4s. Follow the instructions which are basically get the Windows software drivers from PrintCentral and install it on the PC. Now you first need to have a wireless or USB printer working on the PC to start with with it's software already installed and working. Next you have to have a network connection of some sort via wifi also running on the PC. Then you need to have a network connection via wifi to the iPhone on the same network. From that point on as long as the PC is running on wifi and the phone is connected to wifi, what ever you tell the app to print, it will be printed to the printer!
Problem solved! Now I can be outside working on Apple's iPages word processor writing an article and if I need a printout, it will print from my iPhone to the printer ready for me to pick it up. This is just one step in having my mobile iPhone business be done all from portable phone source! If this solution was helpful leave me a comment!
