As smartphones become more prevalent, you've probably found yourself doing many everyday tasks on your iPhone. Perhaps you've wondered if you can print from your mobile device. It would be so nice not to have to turn on your desktop or laptop to print. Thanks to these apps, you can print right from your iPhone.
1. PrintCentral
MacWorld is among the publications to recommend this printing app. PrintCentral is available on both your iPhone or iPod Touch and your iPad. You can print to any printer, not just those that are compatible with AirPlay. This app also works with both Windows and Mac computers. You can print over WiFi and 3G networks, and PrintCentral doesn't limit the type of documents you can print like other apps.
2. Print n Share
This app also works with all printers, not just AirPlay printers. It'll cost you $9; however, Print n Share will communicate with most WiFi printers without the need to install additional software. You can also use Print n Share to view PDFs, Microsoft Office and iWork documents directly on your iPad or iPhone. Even Epson recommends this printing app.
3. PrintBureau
For $20, you can view documents before you print them and store them afterward. This handy printing app has been described as a "printing Swiss Army Knife" by the reviewers at Gizmodo. Remote printer over 3G networks and wireless connection is available. Plus, you're not limited to AirPlay devices if you have a computer connected to the printer. Free software does let you print directly to many Bluetooth and USB-connected printers, however.
4. DocPrinter
This aptly-named iPhone and iPad app costs just $5.99, well below the competition. It works seamlessly with cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox and your FTP sites. DocPrinter works with images and Web pages, along with word documents. DocPrinter adds itself to your "Open" menu when you're in other apps, so printing is a breeze. It will even print your contacts' information directly from your phone.
5. Print Magic
If you simply want to wirelessly print a document without any muss of fuss, then Print Magic has your back. This app from Wellala, Inc costs just $1.99 and works with your iPhone or iPod Touch to wirelessly print. It works with AirPlay-compatible printers, too. Install the computer program to enabling printing with your wired printers as well. Print Magic has been in the iTunes store for over two years, and the developers continue to release upgrades to this app.
6. Printer Pro
Readdle's printing app will only cost you $7 from the iTunes store, and you can try the free version, Printer Pro Lite, to see if you like the app before you make the investment. With this app, your iPad can print directly to your wireless printer.
You can send printing jobs from other apps on your device and easily print documents from your browser by changing the address from "http" to "phttp" right in your address bar. Finally, Printer Pro even works with content that you've saved to your iPad. There's virtually no document that Printer Pro can't work with.
Maybe none of these apps quite do what you need, or you want something specifically for your company. That's okay. Click here to hire app developers to build awesome apps like these.
