Click 'Add'.ĥ) With the new "printer" selected in the 'Print & Fax' screen, check the 'Share this printer on the network' box.ĥ.5) On your iOS device running 4.2, you can now enter an app that supports printing and choose the new PDF printer. Select CUPS-PDF and name the printer whatever you want, using the Generic PostScript Printer selection.
Click the '+' sign to add a new printer, and you'll see a similar dialog box as pictured to the right (minus my Canon printer). Installation is rather painless.Ĥ) Create the CUPS-PDF printer by using System Preferences->Fax & Print. This will allow you to create a PDF "printer" on the system. Reboot.ģ) Install CUPS-PDF on the AirPrint server system. Either way, you'll need AirPrint up and running. That is, unless Apple re-activates the feature by the time you read this. Here are some rather simple steps to get your PDF on.ġ) I'm going to assume you've already upgraded your system to 10.6.5 and that you're running the latest iOS 4.2 GM on your device (or the official version, when it's eventually released).Ģ) If you haven't already, Hacktivate AirPrint on the system you'll use to serve printers. And not only print to a PDF, but then immediately have that PDF accessible to the same device. That all covers printing to paper from iOS, but I've decided to take it a step further for those who want to "print" but remain paperless: Print to a PDF. Or you can also can use the AirPrint Hacktivator to get the job done.
For those who do have iOS 4.2 GM installed on their iDevices and are hoping to enable AirPrint, we've got a handy guide for you.
