Print to Dropbox, Evernote, or an actual printer from your iPhone or iPad - helsleybeenter

As iPhones and iPads increasingly take aim the place of laptops, there's one area that continues to be a take exception for business users: how to turn digital documents into printed ones.

For example, what if you're a doctor who wants to print diligent notes OR prescriptions from your iPad? Oregon an IT guy who necessarily to print a photo of a cabling apparatus before an upgrade? Maybe you just lack hard copy of a document you've stored in Evernote?

Apple's AirPrint engineering science promises to make that possible, but only if your printer supports it—and, let's face it, most models don't. So do you in reality have to buy a new printer just to publish from your iDevice?

Nope. Collobos FingerPrint 2.2 for Windows and Mac lets you print from your iDevice to just about any printer. And it now supports practical printers as symptomless, meaning you can "print" to cloud-based services ilk Dropbox and Evernote.

So, for example, you could add Dropbox to your lean of printers. Instead of ending up with a physical page, FingerPrint would route your netmail, photograph, text file, OR whatever to the Dropbox pamphlet on your PC, which would, successively, sync it to your Dropbox account. That's a pretty quick and easy fashio to share or archive something.

FingerPrint 2.2 also adds new security features, subscribe for enterprise-dismantle printing environments (those with to a higher degree 25 printers), and "printing as a service" (significance you canful print without being logged into a computer).

You get into't need any particular app to use FingerPrint, only the small desktop client. Once installed, IT detects all the printers on your Microcomputer (including those connected to your network) and makes them available to whatsoever iOS device.

Thus, if you want to print, suppose, an email, you just pull it up in the Mail app, strike the Print choice, and so take the printer you want to use and the number of copies you want to print.

I've been using FingerPrint for a while now (in a dwelling house-office environment), and IT whole shebang perfectly. Although Collobos doesn't guarantee compatibility with every last printers, I was able to get information technology working with 4 different models — including an old H.P. Photosmart 475 "lunchbox" photo printer.

The software is compatible with the latest versions of Windows, Mac, and iOS.

FingerPrint sells for $19.95, way fewer than the price of a new printer. I think it's a potentially killer solution for SMBs that pauperism a fast, easy, and wireless way to print from their iDevices.
