AirPrint

Apple has finally felt directly IPAD, iPhone and iPod Touch. Until recently, print any of these devices require special applications, such as Epson or HP Photo iPrint iPrint. But there is something of capture: At present, the number of printers supported by IOS AirPrint new feature is very limited. Obviously, Apple can not pack any printer driver for each printer to compromise IOS, in this case is that only a handful of printers - HP five, one of Epson - actually supports the use Apple standards IOS 4.2.
For now, work AirPrint with the following printers:
• HP Photosmart Premium e-Fax All-in-One Printer - C410
• HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One Printer series - C310
• HP Photosmart All-in-e-One Printer - B210
• HP Envy 100 Series e-All-in-One Printer - D410
• HP Photosmart eStation Printer series - C510
• And the Epson Artisan 835 All-In-One.
If you use a printer, you're lucky. Otherwise, for now, you'd better use the applications print producers who are in the App Store. (A feature once boasted IOS 4.2 - able to print to a printer connected to your Mac or PC -. abandoned before the update was released) Although not everyone will be able to use direct AirPrint print directly to a printer, it features in the future as more and more important than the printer manufacturer to capture and adopt standards Apple. Third parties must also update their applications to use the new features.
AirPrint, if any, is under the Options button in the arrows IOS IPAD applications like Mail, Photos, and Safari. After pressing the button, you can choose the destination of the printer, the copy number and advanced features such as duplex printing for single or double face. Note: Print Center - Manager queue print - can be accessed only through the bars multitasking, and it is only available when printing is in progress.
In addition to the limited number of supported printers, there's another catch: AirPrint works only on Cisco IOS devices that support multitasking. This includes the IPAD, 4 and iPhone 3G and iPod Touch third and fourth generation.
AirPrint offers the promise of easy printing on a wireless network, something that I expect to be popular in the workplace. Although only a handful of printers supporting the standard on the box, it started.
Final Thoughts
Apple has made great progress in recent years with IOS, IOS and 4.2 provides several features typical for complete computer systems operations. Besides those mentioned, IOS 4.2 offers new support for MIDI, which allows musicians to connect a keyboard and synthesizer - via a wireless connection or docking station - on the IOS device. This will be popular with musicians who use Apple IOS device, even if it is not something that I tried.

Clearly, the line between mobile devices and computers are becoming increasingly blurred. But there are still some features that Apple has not implemented that will build IOS 4.2 and to IPAD, iPhone and iPod Touch more useful. In particular, I want to see the custom alert sounds, rapid response of the notification message, the ability to delete individual entries, call log, the possibility of using the iPhone and iPad external hard drives, and the area notification are united. I hope that the feature is attracting attention with the IOS next major release.
However, IOS 4.2 is built based on updates to accommodate what is started with the original Apple iPhone. Each iteration rolls useful new features and routine repairs. During my test, I do not see the applications that crash or refuse to start. Sort of stability - and the technology is great - inspiring confidence in recommending a free update
