First, start by getting your printer & iPad connected together

Almost all problems we help with are due to this part not being done properly. Spend the most time here.

Read our Connecting your Printer, iPad, and internet all together article, then come back here.

Then, add your printer(s) in the app

The video below shows you how to add printers in the app.

You can add & manage printers after you've started the event, from the first screen that shows after the event starts, or from the in-event menu (hold two-fingers on the screen to show).

Please see our help article for how to set up print limits.

iOS-managed versus App-managed printing: how to turn off the iOS print popup window

There are two ways that the app can support printing:

iOS-managed: guests see a popup from iOS every time they choose to print
- To get this, turn on printing in the event (last page of event settings), but do NOT add a printer
- If you have trouble, try this first. If it's not working, your connections are not set up correctly
App-managed: with app-managed printing guests do not see a popup every time they print
- To get this, add a printer in the app once you've started the event

When printing is in iOS-managed mode, your guests will see a popup from iOS every time they print:

In iOS-managed mode your guests will see a popup when they print

When the app is in app-managed printing mode your guests will not see an iOS popup. Instead they'll select their number of prints directly from the app:

In App-managed printing mode your guests choose the number of copies in the app, and there's no popup

To change from iOS-managed to App-managed, add a printer as shown in the video above.

To change from App-managed to iOS-managed, remove all printers.
