    I don't think it would be possible tbh..

    The pictures on the iPad are only available on the computer that you sync with when plugged in so I imagine there wouldn't be any way of getting them from the iPad directly to the printer..

    Is the printer wireless? I've printed a few photos from my iPad 2 using the AirPrint feature.

    I know that wasn't exactly what you wanted to hear but I hope it helps anyway.

    My Lexmark wireless printer does not have the AirPrint function. Was just thinking I could print off docs from my ipad via the usb port. Guess i'll just have to email it and then print it off.

    I've had all sorts of nightmares printing from an iPad to an Epson. Seems a bit random even with the Epson app. In the end, I concluded there were no really efficieny free printing apps and now avoid printing directly from the iPad like the plague. Shame really.

    Its simpler than that:


    In all seriousness, no, you can't.
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
