printer connection lost

Postby Geert » Sat Sep 22, 2018 10:43 am

Tim,

first I will explain my setup:
a fujifilm x-e2
iPad 2 with wifibooth max updated
iPad 2 with blueprint max updated
MacBook Pro with printopia (test version)
Hiti P510S printer

Both the iPads are connected via bluetooth (works fine)
My hiti printer is connected to my MacBook Pro
I can print with my blueprint iPad without a problem
my wifibooth iPad can detect my printer...
but now comes the problem...
when I connect my camera via wifi to my wifibooth iPad I lose my printer connection. when I turn my camera off the printer connection is back???

Huh???

Can you help me? Will it be the printopia test version that causes the problem?

Hi Geert so you are sharing the printer from one of the ipads right?
The reason the printer disconnects when you connect the camera is because the wifibooth ipad was using wifi (not bluetooth) to print to it.
So: first connect wifibooth to the camera, with no printer connected. Then once camera is connected see if wifibooth can connect to blueprint. You need to connect to the printer as a blueprint printer not airprint.
Please write a review for Wifibooth on the Apple App store! Indie developers like me really need people like you to review their apps. Instructions on how to write a review: http://goo.gl/w8NsDI.
