Hi guys,

I recently bought a Brother DCP-J315W wireless printer. There's limitation with Brotherâ„¢ iPrint&Scan apps, I can't print docs from that apps because I don't use iCloud's iWork and I also don't like using iTunes file sharing (as if using iTunes file sharing i rather straight do printing on my PC).

My question is : is there any way to let me use apple AirPrint ? Or any other way that I can print my PDF/Words/Ecel straight away without using cable to transfer file from PC to iPad?

p/s : iPad running on iOS 5.1.1, iPhone running on iOS 6.0.1.


Thanks in advance for people who helped !

If you want native AirPrint support, your printer must support it. According to Apple, your printer is not listed: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356?viewloc...US&locale=en_US

There are alternative.

Add-on hardware:
xPrintServer.
Synology device with Print Server function

Add-on software for Mac to enable the AirPrint function. But the Mac must be running to print it.

Dont think you can print directly from iBook with that app.

Hi, what I normally do is email the file to me. Open the file via Brotherâ„¢ iPrint&Scan apps. Then print it.
