Myron,Assuming you are talking about an Apple iMac, PowerBook, Mac.I have had not problem with these. Standard Brother software. (Mainly a PowerBook). Cannot say about iPad or iPhone.

Yes, you just have to connect it diretly to your computer using the included cable. Hope this helps..BTW, I've gone through 3 printers in 3 years, all with some problems. This Brother far exceedes every one of them, and works flawlessly. No problems whatsoever.

My son is an Apple user and has never had a problem printing to this type or any other printer we have used on our network of PC's.

On iPad I didn't even try to. On my Mac I could print but not with their software

Yes, but I can not in good conscience recommend this printer. I purchased a Brother multifunction and have not looked back.

There are several apps available from within the iTunes app store that will allow you to print from an iPad, iPhone, etc. via wireless, 3G/4G, via computer printer sharing. Go to the app store and do a search on Print and you'll find a plethora of them. AirPrint is not your only option by far.

Printer functions as a stand-alone (ethernet cable) or via web. It can create its own wi-fi spot so it was available to iPhone/ipad printing even when our web connection was down last month. We like this unit a lot.

Yes. If you use the software to set up the printer (which is wired), your computer will be able to print to it over your wireless network. Be advised: It is advertised as a Google Cloud Enabled printer. That function no longer works. Brother has stated that they are working to address it, but it is currently not working on this printer.UPDATE: The latest firmware addresses the Google Cloud Print issue

No. The iPad lacks the USB port needed to directly connect this printer. AFIK, the only way you could print from an iPad would be to configure this as a shared printer connected via USB to a computer on a wireless network. I don't use Apple products, so I don't know if your iPad can join such a network.

Good question, I think you can. I tried to setup printing from iOS, but never finished it. There is Apple software that has to be installed on a PC first. I need to finish testing this feature.

Yes, when and if it works it will print from iOS. I recommend you go with a different brand, though.

I read through the forums on the HP web site and it appears that it does not. It definitely does not print from an iOS device. You may find apps that promise to print from any Bluetooth printer, but most of those rely on having a Windows or Mac laptop connected to the device via Bluetooth, and you use the app to connect to the laptop via wifi. This use of a laptop as a print server is not very useful because the laptop needs special software and if you have a laptop you probably wouldn't be trying to print from your phone/tablet. The only connectivity that the HP site promises is Windows and Mac laptops. I read through the forums on the HP web site and it appears that it does not.

Quick answer: No. This printer has USB interface. You need a Printer with iOS compatible Bluetooth printer.

Yes. I have been using it on a mac for the last year without issues. Make sure you have the most up to date software from brother.

Yes, you can print to this Brother if both devices are on the same wifi network. No app necessary.
