Hi all I've been lurking on this discussion. Thank you Severin for your suggestion to use HandyPrint. Only a day or so ago Elaine (my wife) asked me if she could print from her new iPad. I said yes if you have an Airprint printer, which we have not. However I remembered I had installed Airprint

Hi Ronni Thanks for the information and the Google search tip. The Cydia app would seems to provide the wanted data, so the info must be available (iOS command programming anyone?). But I will not be jailbreaking the iPad! Just hope the battery lasts until the iPad5 or iPad6 becomes irresi

Hi Ronni, thanks for the link. That settles it for me, at least while I'm in the bush with no Wifi 11 days in every fortnight I have to stick with backup to my PC. Will reconsider cloud back up later in the year when I back to civilization. Regards Pete On 19/05/2013, at 10:58 AM, Ronda Brown
