It Works For My Brother! – Print n Share Review

Finally! I can print to the old Brother HL-2040 that's connected to my home wi-fi via an Apple Airport Express. Ok, so I have to use its own web browser to print a web page. At least every time I've tried it, it works beautifully. Even more important: this app has been my go-to system for all file management. It is what I use like the Finder on my Mac. Let's face it, who wants to make a payment or any other transaction without keeping a copy? Well, you could print them from some other (financial/bank/credit card) app IF it's possible... and usually it isn't. With Print n Share, I save a copy of all that stuff-- easily, and without stacks of paper copies laying around. Before Print n Share, I could only print from the iPad to my AirPrint enabled HP inkjet. Thanks to this app, so far, I've been able to use my old laser printer for anything I want, and can save the expensive ink for those times when I need to print in color. Bravo! Also, it does work great with Airprint. -- It's a bit inconvenient having to use Print n Share's built-in browser instead of Safari, but it usually works ok. There are compatibility issues at times, though. This app provides the flexibility to either print a doc, e-mail it, or save it as a PDF, just like the print dialog on a Mac. All in all, even though you have to learn to jump through a couple of hoops, the learning curve isn't bad for an app that is so useful. It saves me from needing to buy a wi-fi enabled laser printer!
