How to Print from Your iPhone
How to Print from Your iPhone. Of course, this works for more than just the iPhone, any PDA phone that can send email can use this procedure. The biggest question might be 'Why bother?<google uid="C01"></google> Just to say you can is fun. One simple practical reason would be that perhaps you have someone who is computer illiterate, yet you would like to have them get an email, document or photo. This tip shows you how to make the message and attachments automagically print what you want and nothing else.Steps
- Do a search for, and download 'automatic print mail'
- Get a free gmail or other internet pop accessable email account. I made one called myhomeprinter@gmail.com (Don't worry, you can easily make it so those viagra ads and other spam or any other unwanted email never prints, thus this special email account.
- If using gmail, go to settings and enable pop
- Set up a filter to auto-delete all email not from your main email that you will send print jobs from.
- Setup the automatic print mail program to check and print both the email message and attachment automatically, or whichever you prefer (i have it delete the email from that pop account afterward).
- Now, any email you send that has an attachment will print both the email and the attachment. If it's just the email it will print the email. If any spam or any other person sends to it, it will not print. You also have the option of creating a filter on that app, which you have to have running on a windows system somewhere with a printer.
- Think of it as a way to have a computer with internet access and a printer to act as a simple fax machine that you can fax to from your email app on your phone or other computer.
