    print from phone on MP C4500

    Hi everyone. I installed a Ricoh MP C4500 last week and during set up I was asked if they could print from their smart phones. I said no but I'm not that sharp on IT stuff so I thought I better ask the experts, that would be you. Thank you for any information you can give on this.

    What smartphones? Apple, Droid, Blackberry? I know with Apple all you need to do is install AirPrint on the network and make sure the iPhone is on the same network and it will print. Some of the newer Ricoh boxes come with AirPrint built in. ie MPc4502.

    Im sure there are other such programs for the droid and blackberry platforms, Im just not familiar with them. Good Luck

          For Android, get the app SmartDevice Print. For iPhone, some newer models support AirPrint, older ones use SmartDevice Print.

            You can install AirPrint onto a Windows server for free, or if you have a Mac server you can install handyPrint (previously known as AirPrint Activator) for a small donation.
