One of these great features provided by your iPad, which comes in handy to all those who deal with paperwork or simply want to hold a document or a photo, is an application called AirPrint.

Airprint allows you to print documents, web pages, photos or emails. It is a great applications which is very simple to use, especially that you don’t have to download new software, install drivers or use cables. The printing is totally wireless.

In the case of some particular types of printers, these need to be reinstalled too, in order to become available for AirPrint. But this is not compulsory and does not apply to all printers. After this is done, you are set up to start printing.

Furthermore, there is an available version for Windows too. This can be found on the German website Macerkopf.de and it is free for download.

The original AirPrint Hacktivator has recently been updated. Although it maintains the same great performance, it intrudes less with the operating system of your Mac. Moreover, the Hacktivator now provides a refreshed and improved interface and status indicator.
