Printing with an iPad

Post by diyinvestor »

I can't print on the Bogleheads site when using my iPad -- not postings, or articles in the Wiki, or anything else.

Somebody told me it's because the articles require certain software, which isn't possible on the iPad. My ios is current.

Can anyone help? I learn so much on this site, I would like very much to be able to print from it.

Do you have a WiFi capable printer on your home network? I use an Epson AirPrint capable printer and can print from my iPad fine.

Yes -- I have an airprint HP, WiFi compatible. I can print from a laptop just fine, and I can print from most other sites on the iPad with no problem. But there's something about the Bogleheads site that makes printing from the iPad impossible.

I get an error message that says: "An error occurred printing this document."

I just printed this post from an iPad 2 and it printed just fine.

I just printed this thread from my iPad Air running iOS 7.1.1 to a Brother USB printer via my iMac with Handyprint. No problems. Was using Safari browser.

You could try the WePrint app that enables printing from an iPad.
