I have a LaserJet Pro M1212nf, which does not have wireless capability. I am on a desktop PC, Windows 7, and am hooked up with a USB cable from the computer to the printer. There are no other Windows 7 computers on this network, so until now I have not needed this capability.
I have spent an hour trying to figure out how to be able to print from my iPad using Airprint, which does come with this printer.
The printer is shared, which I thought was enough, but apparently not. I have found instructions on using a wireless printer, which this is not, and using an ethernet connection, which I am not, but nothing on direct USB connection. I have found instructions on changing from a USB connection to an ethernet connection - is this what I need to do? I'm hoping someone can help with this.
Do I need to change from USB to ethernet to be able to be seen on the computer network and by the iPad? There has to be a way to do this, but I'm stumped.
Thank you.
