Hi Ronni and List Folk Ronni, to do a test run on my iPad 2 I visited the first site that you listed: "How to Enable Airprint for Windows and Use any Printer" and downloaded and installed an application called 'AirActivator' I printed a Pages document - fine. Inserted a photograph in the Pages document and printed - fine. Tried to print a photograph not in a document - timed out.
I next visited the teckrepublic site mentioned below. Same experience except that with the photo I got an error message "Document type not supported". It was a jpg and the downloaded application 'PrintCentralPro' listed jpgs as acceptable. Has anyone had experience with either of these applications, or an alternative, and successfully printed photos?

As mentioned in my email I am yet to find out her operating system. Also found this site which holds some promise: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/mac/how-to-print-from-an-ipad-the-best-apps-for-business-users/841 All the best.
