Printing from iDevice made simple with
FingerPrint Software

  • We started out with the desktop computer that had
    a Printer attached to it via a cable. Then came
    the laptops and with that portable printers, not
    really practical but that was about all we had at
    the time. 

3
  • So the best you could do when you were on the
    road back then was save your document, send it
    through your email account and have someone at
    your office print it for you.

4
  • Or you could just wait till you got back and
    print it yourself. There has always been that
    disconnect, nothing ever seemed to really work
    all that great for printing when you were on the
    road.

5
  • Then came the iPhones and iPads which are
    increasingly taken the place of laptops and the
    challenge has stayed the same, how do we turn
    digital documents into printed ones when your not
    sitting at your desk. For example lets say your
    a doctor and you want to print patient notes or
    prescriptions from your iPhone?

6
  • Or your an IT guy who is working on an upgrade
    for a customer and you want to print a photo of a
    cabling setup before you upgrade it, a picture is
    worth a thousand words. Or even something as
    simple as you want a hard copy of a document you
    have stored in DropBox.

7
  • There is Apples AirPrint Technology that
    promises to make that possible but only if your
    printer supports it and in all reality, most
    dont. I dont think it makes a whole lot of
    sense for anyone to have to go out and buy a new
    printer or printers so a piece of software will
    work with it, not a very Eco friendly thing to do
    either. And from most accounts I have read in
    reviews about this software its anything but
    easy to set up and use.

8
  • Enter FingerPrint 2.2 from Collobos, which fits
    the bill perfectly, it works with Windows and
    Macs, and allows printing from iDevices to just
    about any printer out there thats connected to a
    PC, turning the printer into an AirPrint-enabled
    printer . Not only that, it now supports virtual
    printers as well.

9
  • What this means is you can now print to cloud
    based services like Dropbox and Evernote. What
    you do is add Dropbox to your list of printers
    via FingerPrints desktop Client, once installed,
    Client will detect all the printers on your PC,
    including those connected to your network and
    make them available to any iOS device, pretty
    slick.

10
  • So if you added a Dropbox account to your list
    of printers, instead of ending up with a
    physical page, FingerPrint would route your
    email, photo, document, or whatever to the
    Dropbox folder on your PC, which would, in turn,
    sync it to your Dropbox account. Easy and
    painless way to share or archive any document.

11
  • Once its in the Dropbox folder, you just pull up
    the folder you want, hit print, pick the printer
    you want the job to go to and presto, you have
    your printed file.

12
  • FingerPrint 2.2 also added new security features,
    it now supports enterprise-level printing
    environments, those with more than 25 printers
    and Printing as a service, meaning you can
    print without being logged into a computer.
    Collobos does not guarantee compatibility with
    all printers but we have not been able to find
    any complaints so far.

13
  • The software is compatible with the latest
    versions of Windows, Mac and iOS. FingerPrint
    sells for 19.95, which by the way is a lot less
    than buying a new AirPrint ready printer. I think
    this is a fantastic solution for the SMB (small
    to medium business) looking for an affordable way
    to print while mobile, check it out and we would
    love to hear your feedback if you start to use it.
