AirPrint Activator (APA) v2.0b13
comment : 15
Short post about the release of AirPrint Activator (APA) v2.0b13.
What is new in this release?
-
1st official release with PPC support. I fired up an old version of xCode and compiled a Universal binary based on a 10.5 SDK. Hopefully this should make APA available for PPC machine running 10.5.
-
New UI for the ON/OFF toggle switch
-
Fix for a bug with the Wireless support (hopefully)
-
Fixed a bug with the preference file creation under OSX Lion
-
Added an option to disable the auto-cleanup feature of the daemon (don’t use this please)
That is it for now!

Have activated APA v2.0b13 on my IMac, and have attempted to add printer to list, but nothing shows up in window.
Printer I am attempting to add is Canon MP620 which is on the supported list,and I verified that printer sharing is turned on in the sys pref / printer menu.
I am using OSX 10.6.7, and the printer is connected to my Time Capsule with usb cable.
I must be overlooking something, need 2nd opinion. Thanks

I have read all the posts and I am unable to see any printers from my iPhone. During the “searc for printer” it finds nothing. The AirPrint Activator properly shares the networ printers. Are there any additional settings, (i.e. firewall, sharing, security, etc) that needs to take place?
Can you tell me if the printers are actually listed in the APA GUI when you turn it on? If yes, make sure your iPhone is connecting to the same network as your Mac…

Downloaded and unzipped. Worked perfect in under 1 min. Wow. Love it. Thanks – you This saved me a bundle in not having to buy a new printer.
My pleasure. I tend to ear more about people with issues than from people that successfully use the application.
Cheers

thank you very much in advance and regards from switzerland.

So only one show up in the list? Are both shared by your Mac? Are they both attached?
Thank you of this, I will be donating shortly! But here’s my problem. iMac running Lion, iPad running latest iOS version 4.3.5. I turn on Activator and immediately see the two printers I have connected to my mac (one by USB the other ethernet on the local network) I then also immediately see them appear in the iPad (using Pages) Share>Print>Select Printer. but when I hit print, nothing happens, and the docs don’t appear on the print queue on the mac . Any thoughts please?
Do you have the OSX firewall turned on? APA does not work too well with the firewall turned on…
Jiust downloaded and installed AirPrint Activator 2.1b2
iMac on Lion
Ipad and iPhone on IOS5
Printer is Network (not connected by USB) Canon MX860
Firewall OFF
Canon printer shows up in AirPrint Activator window after I set it up as the video shows.
Try to print and get the message “Printer is Offline”
Printer is not offline because I can still test print from the iMac.
Where can I find this PPC-Version for download ?
I have an 2006 PPC-macmini as printserver …
Thanks
Did you find a download? I also have a ppc print server…
Thank you for compiling a PPC release! This is very useful for me since my PPC is the only one that I keep running 24/7. I’ve made a small donation in appreciation for your efforts. If it’s ever convenient for you to compile another universal version at some point, I know I’d appreciate it.
Thanks for your nice work.
