This works great for about 70% of what I do but sometimes I need to print in the field which has been the limiting factor with my ipad. Will this setup work when using software accessed through remote desktop?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08815697890585432176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563223036439658609.post-64642465508670487612013-10-25T08:45:47.291+01:002013-10-25T08:45:47.291+01:00I would advise getting a Zebra Printer (imz320) an...I would advise getting a Zebra Printer (imz320) and the app called Mobi Print.

If you add an AE into the mix ... I honestly don't know, I had a quick search on the 'net and found conflicting opinions - some people claiming it works, some people saying they just couldn't make it happen (both with different printers, not the OfficeJet 100).<br /><br />What's certain is that you'll need a printing app on the iPad (e.g. one of those listed in my post) ... and that if you can't find the answer online, the only way is to give it a try and hope - but be prepared for it not to work and put the AE to other uses (or re-sell it, or borrow one in the first place).<br /><br />One other thing - it may help to be able to set a static IP address (as per my instructions for the H470 - http://genuinely-original.blogspot.com/2012/01/getting-ipad-to-talk-to-h470.html). You can see how to do this for the AE using the iPad at the following YouTube clip : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98fiDENRzok<br /><br />Whatever happens, it'd be great is if you could post back how you got on so other people can learn from your experience.<br /><br />Mant thanks,<br /><br />KeithKeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291628762102482704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563223036439658609.post-65066917243628567222012-06-10T22:55:52.441+01:002012-06-10T22:55:52.441+01:00Hi is there a way to get the Hp office jet 100 mob...Hi is there a way to get the Hp office jet 100 mobile printer to work with a Ipad even with a AE I don't care as long as it works.Derricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563223036439658609.post-50915119619285757312012-06-07T13:16:47.450+01:002012-06-07T13:16:47.450+01:00Yes, absolutely - what we're doing here is is ...Yes, absolutely - what we're doing here is is iOS-specific as opposed to being specific to the iPad 1, so it'll work on all flavours of iPhone, iPod and iPad capable of running iOS 4.3 and above.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291628762102482704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563223036439658609.post-65448974552529387512012-06-07T03:32:37.117+01:002012-06-07T03:32:37.117+01:00Will this work with an Ipad 2?Will this work with an Ipad 2?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563223036439658609.post-86217156856267843082012-04-18T13:03:12.037+01:002012-04-18T13:03:12.037+01:00Steve - thanks for the kind words.

Not as neat as just iPad->H470 but beggars can't be choosers with the lack of mobile printer options out there ...<br /><br />Anyhow, back to your predicament ... so, you can see the printer from your iPad which indicates the flow of iPad->Print Server->Printer is working fine - only things I can immediately think of are:<br /><br />1. Make sure you can use the Print Server and these printers in AdHoc mode from a laptop or PC - if not, then that suggests the Print Server itself is what needs looking at<br />2. Try another iPad printing program - there are some free ones out there (including one by Canon)<br /><br />Hope you get it working!<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />KeithKeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02291628762102482704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6563223036439658609.post-6999649497399160002012-04-08T06:11:20.135+01:002012-04-08T06:11:20.135+01:00Keith,

I was able to establish an adhoc connection between the two. My iPad print progam, "Printer Pro" allowed me to add the ip with no problem after connecting to the server adhoc network. I attempted to print document and the printer "receiving data" indicator began to blink. I was very excited at that moment.... but.... then nothing happened. It just stopped blinking. No sure what else i can do, but for others looking into this, type of setup, it appears not to work with my devices. I was really hoping not to have to buy anything else to get this to work, but I may have to go with a printer, as you suggested above, that has the adhoc wifi capability built in.
