OPrint helps simplify wireless printing by enabling printer and fax support for devices that normally cannot detect standard printers. It bridges connections between mobile devices and shared printers through a network, improving document handling flexibility with networking compatibility, easy setup, and remote printing support features.

OPrint stands in the utilities category by focusing on accessibility rather than replacing printing systems. It allows connecting mobile devices to traditional printers without requiring hardware upgrades. Its device recognition, local network sharing, and document management integration provide convenience for personal and professional printing tasks, especially in environments where wireless printing is unavailable.

Reliable wireless printing for legacy devices

The main strength of OPrint lies in enabling wireless printing through shared network connections. It works as a bridge, allowing compatible mobile devices to detect printers connected to another computer. This makes it practical in homes or offices using older printers. Setup may require configuring network sharing settings, but it delivers consistent device detection and smooth document transmission, helping improve printing reliability once properly arranged.

The program offers a straightforward interface designed for quick configuration and clear controls. Users usually install the tool, allow printer sharing, and connect through the same network. This simplified process makes printing accessible even for beginners. Performance can still depend on network stability, meaning weaker connections may affect printing speed or reliability, though the interface stays uncluttered and functional for daily tasks.

One notable advantage is the ability to extend the usability of traditional printers, helping users avoid unnecessary hardware replacements. It supports various document formats and integrates smoothly with printing workflows across personal and office environments. While it improves convenience, it relies on keeping the host device running, which may reduce flexibility in certain setups. Still, it provides reliable performance and dependable results when configured and maintained correctly and consistently.

Bottom Line

Practical solution for wireless printing

OPrint delivers a practical way to expand printer accessibility through reliable network bridging. It enhances printing convenience, especially for users maintaining older printer setups. While it requires a stable network, sharing, and an active host device, it remains an effective solution for improving wireless printing efficiency. Users seeking flexible document handling may find it a dependable addition to their productivity tools.

Developer’s Description

Print from iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch to any your existing printer without AirPrint Printer or App.
Print from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch to any printer without AirPrint Printer or apps. O'Print is a AirPrint Activator for Windows that allows the Windows PC to be AirPrint-Compatible. You do not need to install apps or buy a new AirPrint printer. ANY existing printer can be connected to Airprint from an iPad, iPhone, or iPhone touch in addition to basic printing from Safari, Mail or Photo. O'Print lets you print to PDF and to your dropbox. There is no client limit and no shared printer limit. All iDevices and all printers can be utilized in O'Print.

How Does O'Print work? - First, O'Print gets all printers which are already installed on the Windows PC. - Next, the user will decide which printers they want to share for the appropriate iDevice by simply selecting it in the O'Print control panel. - Finally, O'Print will announce those shared printers (by Apple Bonjour) and display them on all iDevices which within the same LAN with the Windows PC. Then AirPrint from your iPad now. What is the benefit of O'Print? Compare three popular solutions for iPad / iPhone Printing - The simplest solution is to buy a new AirPrint-Compatible Printer, and install it on the same LAN as your iDevices. The AirPrinter also will announce itself via Apple Bonjour to the LAN. The benefit of this solution is simple and direct without a PC, but the disadvantage is that you have to buy a printer. Do you really want to change your existing printer, especially a high-level laser printer? - The second solution is an AirPrint App. Many Airprint Apps are free and allow easy printing to a general network printer. However, its disadvantage is that you must print from the AirPrint App, not the native print engine of iDevices. Therefore, you cannot print from most other apps. In addition, there may be some printer compatibility issues, such that that some printers may not be supported by the AirPrint App. - The third solution is by AirPrint Activator for Windows. Like O'Print, AirPrint Activator can activate all of your printers which are installed already on the PC to be AirPrint-capable so that all of your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices can print directly to the shared printers in PC. Because the printing is accomplished by the native iDevice print engine, you can print from any other app. However, there is also a disadvantage in that you need to open a PC for sharing printers. This solution is more suitable for office print use.
