Anyone using this with Windows 7 and an iOS device? Does the Windows 7 PC have to be powered up for the printing to work (my printer is wireless)?

Your Windows 7 PC and iOS device are independent of each other and are accessing the wireless network on their own. So when choosing to print from your iOS device through the Lantronix print server your Windows 7 device does not need to be powered up. The print server is printing to the network printer.

No computer has tone powered up. The xprint server puts your printers on the network with a built-in driver that ios simply recognizes. It's almost magic.

Hi, J.H. - Let me first say that I am not by any means a software expert and perhaps others are better equipped to answer your question. Also, you didn't state if your OS was Apple or PC. If PC and you're using WIN 7 or 8 then PNP should work and Windows will find and install the necessary drivers. However, without installing the accessories on the CD you probably won't be able to access the great wireless capabilities of the printer. Hope this helps.

Hey mate, it does work with windows 7 I tried it myself not too bad. But printing on the label is not 100% accurate you might miss some bits on the edges but I believe that it depends on the printer brand and model as well.Cheers

This should work fine with the Widows 7 desktop and laptop. It will not work with the iPhone or iPad, for that you will need a printer that is already AirPrint capable or a print server that supports AirPrint. Last I looked, I was not able to find any print servers that would work with both Windows and iOS -- you can get either, but not both. If you leave your PC on all the time, you can use an application called "Fingerprint". You iOS device will print through the FingerPrint application on your Windows computer, and then on to the print server software that is running on the Windows PC. That is my current configuration.

I am using it over a wireless network with my Windows 7 32-bit machine. Don't have any problems with scanning or printing and didn't have to download any drivers from the site to get it to work.

No app needed. You just install the printer drivers as you would on your desktop PC. I print fine to my wireless HP printer.

The short answer is no. This printer is not AirPrint and therefore not friendly with iPads and iPhones. It is confusing because they are all bluetooth devices but your iPad and iPhone cannot "see" this printer. I also heard that it could be done with the PrintCentral Pro app, but I was never able to get my apple devices to see the printer when using that app. I've heard of some other complicated work-arounds, but all involved significant extra expense. I would say that if you need a mobile printer that works with your iPad or iPhone, look elsewhere.

Yes, I have Windows 7 on my Dell Laptop and it synced right up and works great. Also prints from iPad 2.

I have the printer wired (usb) to my wife's computer and i use the wireless feathure on both my laptop and my ipad through my wireless system. All computers talk to the printer with great results.

Yes. My wife uses this a couple times a week from her iPad. It found the printer easily, and she has been using it for months. I've used it from my own iPad a couple times. Works just like from my Windows 7 laptop.

It will work wirelessly. I have only the power cord plugged into mine. All printing I have done to this device has been over my wireless network, including from a PC, tablet, and iPhone.

I am having the same issues, as are others, so it is not just your printer. It works fine when the print command comes from a PC running Windows, but does not work with a Mac. This is pretty sad since I purchased it directly from an Apple retail store specifically to run on my Mac.

My issue is that there are not many printers that work with OSX 10.8.4. Is this printer Airprint capable from an IOS device, and does this printer work wirelessly with OSX 10.8?
