Printing with an iPad
What? Printing using an iPad you say! It can’t be done. We know it cant be done. We wish it could be done. Maybe when the iPads update to iPhone OS 4.0, we may get some form of printing capability via Bluetooth or WiFi or something.
Well, the folks over at Geek.com have a post up today on how a person can print from an iPad today. Here is a preview:
Happy Friday everyone.

Sadly this won’t really work with a transmissive display, at least scanning one didn’t really work for me in the past.
With an eInk or reflective display this is a reliable option, but not with a normal transmissive display which the iPad uses.

I am using Air Sharing HD and it prints fine to my wireless Brother 2170 laser. It does include a border, kind of reminding me of that funny picture of the iPad on the copier.
