Being compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion and beyond, HandyPrint is an activator which runs to share network and local attached printers to other products running IOS 4.2 or newer. Also known as AirPrint, HandyPrint takes orders from all local network printer advertisements and activate them via handyPrint. If it is shared and visible by your Mac, it will be advertised.

Air printer and air-sharing activator Aiming to support older printing devices, handyPrint is a good solution for those who have older printers, or lost the Airprint support during the upgrade. It can show local printers found on the network and support them without the native Airprint support.

To work with a shared networked printer, the printer need to be accessible by a Mac OS or iOS device that is on and visible, acting like a hub for Airprint capabilities. Once turned off, Airprint capabilities to that printer will be gone.

Easy to use with older printers HandyPrint is very easy to use. Adding some older Canon and HP printers to iMac hub device for test, we find that they accept handyPrint to access from any iOS or MacOS device sharing on iMac. During the use process, handyPrint is transparent and makes most users have no worry about Airprint support at all. HandyPrint is a really useful application for people with older printers.

Editor's review: HandyPrint no longer depends on the support of Apple inside the OS. This great release also make it possible that the users do not have to obtain the 'Administrator'privileges, which is a good thing for security. However, HandyPrint only runs after having logged in the activating user. And handyPrint is not available on the App Store, but there are some other sites, such as netputing.com, that offer downloads.
