Installation Instructions
On a Windows PC, double-click the downloaded file to start the install process.
The application will open after installation, and will also open each time the PC is rebooted.
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).
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
When you tap the printer row after you added it and open printer settings, you'll notice that Print.Events printers have one extra setting called Overscan.
This setting controls the "zoom" of the image as it is printed. So if you are seeing white lines around the sides of your print, try increasing overscan. If you are finding the sides of the print are cut off, try reducing overscan.
Troubleshooting
If your iPad can't find the Print.Events application, make sure your router is not blocking SSDP (also known as UPNP), which is what the iPad uses to discover the Windows PC application.
How to print 2x2x6 (cuts) at the same time as 4x6 (not cut) with Print.Events
Because the DNP "2-inch cut" option is unfortunately a global option that affects the entire printer and all of its paper sizes, by default you cannot print to both 2x2x6 (cut) and 4x6 (not cut) at the same time.
However, there is a workaround: you can duplicate the printer in Windows so that you have one with the 2-inch cut option enabled, and the other with it disabled.
Duplicating the printer is not simple. Luckily a community member Tomas has made a video showing you how to do this:
