Printing to ANY Printer Connected to a 64-bit Windows Machine

WARNING: This post is definitely a little technical!

How to get an iPad to print to any printer connected to a 64-bit Windows machine

NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR A WINDOWS MACHINE RUNNING THE 64-BIT VERSION OF XP, VISTA, AND WINDOWS 7

1. Download the Bonjour Print Services for Windows here:http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
2. Run the downloaded executable (BonjourPSSetup.exe) and follow onscreen instructions (take the default values)
3. Share the printer of interest (under control panel printer/faxes)
4. In explorer, go to "C:\Program Files (x86)" and create a new folder called "AirPrint"
5. Download AirPrint.zip from: [www.mediafire.com/?x1vyiuhw7nj1da8] -- press the "click here to start download from MediaFire" link.
6. Unzip AirPrint.zip to the AirPrint folder you created in step (4)
7. Go to the start menu and select run and type "CMD" to open command prompt
8. Issue the following commands in the "CMD" window:

sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\AirPrint\airprint.exe -s" depend= "Bonjour Service" start= auto

NOTES: (1) THIS IS A SINGLE LINE OF TEXT; (2) THERE IS A SPACE AFTER EACH '=' SYMBOL

sc.exe start AirPrint

Your almost there!!! Three more steps!

1. If prompted by windows firewall, check "Private networks, such as ...", uncheck "Public networks, such as ...", then press "Allow access"
2. Windows firewall never prompted me, but still blocked the iPad from printing. I added the following port exceptions to the firewall: UDP port 5353 and TCP port 631 (added as AirPrint entries).
3. Run the Bonjour Printer Wizard and select the shared printer

That should be it.

We plan on posting how to do this for Mac OSX.

Printing to ANY Printer Connected to a 32-bit Windows Machine

We plan on posting how to do this for the 64 bit version of Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and for Mac OSX. Most people who are running XP are likely running the 32 bit version. If you are unsure of what version of Windows XP you are running - please contact us and we can walk you through the process. The above has been tested on the 32-bit version of XP only.
