Setting up a Windows PC for Print.Events

This video shows the entire process, including unboxing 2 of the most affordable top-rated mini-PCs from Amazon, setting up Windows, configuring network settings, installing the app, and connecting it to the iPad.

It's a long video, so the YouTube video description has chapters that you can click to go directly where you want. We recommend opening the video on YouTube directly: click "Watch on YouTube" on the video.

Installation Instructions

On a Windows PC, double-click the downloaded file to start the install process.

• If you're using Edge to download, you probably need to click the three dots next to the file download and choose "Keep" before the file will be available.

The application will open after installation, and will also open each time the PC is rebooted.

Make sure you turn off Windows Firewall (Defender).

Upgrade Instructions

If you already have an older version installed, you must uninstall the existing version first, before installing the new version.

Uninstall Instructions

To uninstall the app, use the standard Windows program removal method. If you're not familiar, here's how: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uninstall-or-remove-apps-and-programs-in-windows-4b55f974-2cc6-2d2b-d092-5905080eaf98#id0ebd=windows_11

Connecting the iOS App

Make sure your iPad and Windows PC are on the same network. You can connect to the same wifi or use ethernet (wired). If you're using ethernet without a router, there's some setup required - see the Connect your Printer article first, and if you have issues check the Troubleshooting section below.

When you add a printer, you'll see a pop-up allowing you to choose the Print.Events printer type, as pictured below.

The first time you do this, you'll probably get a popup from iOS asking for Local Network Access. You must hit Allow, close the popup and try again.

After selecting Print.Events, the app will attempt to find the Print.Events application and if successful will show a list of printers shared:

After selecting a printer, configure it the same way as you configure all printers in the app: https://help.booth.events/article/100-printer-settings
