  Hi There! I downloaded the fix on this site to print to my HP printer. I see the printer on my ipad when i go to print, but nothing prints. Please advise what may need to be done. Thanks!

  Hi,
  Is the operating system for your computer Windows or Mac?

  Windows. I have tried restarting the computer, restarting Airprint and Bonjour. As i said, it shows up as a printer on my Ipad, and It actualy says it sent it to the printer, but nothing goes to the printer.

  Prior to iOS 5 Airprint Installer was the best solution. A few readers were able to add some commands using Command Prompt and made the tool work for iOS 5. I had some issues doing this and have held off on recommending it. The readers discuss it in the comments here.
  
  Another option is FingerPrint.
  
  FingerPrint cost $9.99 but there is a free trial that lasts a week. I would much rather be able to suggest a free method but the options for Windows are limited. If you go with FingerPrint use the free trial for the entire trial period to make sure it works properly for you.
  
  BTW, there is another option that I use called AirPrint Activator. It's free but it is only available for Mac.

  How do I get FingerPrint, I don't see it on the app store. Thanks... I had the AirPrint activator.... Must have stopped working and I didn't realize it. I can see the printer... That's the crazy part... It just doesn't print. Thanks again.

  I put a link in the last post but I messed the link up. Here is a link to the FingerPrint site.

  Thanks.... Still having problems with that option... But have emailed their support. Once again, can see the printers, and it appears to be printing, but nothing prints. Tanks for your help... So frustrating...
