Printing problem from Ipad to CP1200
Posted: Wed Dec 25, 2019 10:48 am
Material used :
Ipad -MR7F2LL/A- 6th Gen on IpadOS 13.3
Iphone -MQ8L2B/A- 8 plus on IOS 13.1
Canon Selphy CP1200
Hi Tim,
I got several problems yesterday trying to use my material together.
Config 1
I used what I think is the "recommanded" configuration first :
- I installed Sololink on the Iphone and I used it to generate a Wifi network : I will use it as a camera and to share the printer
- I installed Wifibooth on the Ipad (Package Small Event) and connected it to the Iphone's wifi
- I searched for the Iphone's wifi from the Printer, put the right password and connected to it
Then in Iphone's Sololink :
- Printer > Share > Airprint > CP1200
- Camera > Share
Then in the Ipad's Wifibooth :
- Add printer > Check the print option > Connect a printer > Airprint > CP1200
- The camera display from the Iphone was recognized right away and showed up directly
- The 3 first icons on the Wifi options from Wifibooth are green (Wifi, camera and printer) and the message reads : you are good to go!
Everything looks fine, I push the camera button on the Ipad, it takes 3 pictures, it makes the collage after a very small time, then when it should print... BUT nothing happens, I got this picture :
And the timer keeps working forever...
If I stop it and go to gallery, select the 3 pictures > modify > go > I get the pop-up "print, how many ?" And there I don't get the timer, I can select the right arrow that appears directly to start the printing, and it works !
But I have to do it in two times.
It never works directly right after it has taken the pics
Config 2
- No more Iphone
- The Ipad with wifibooth will take the photo by itself, and directly connects to the printer CP1200
- The Printer CP1200 is in "direct connect" mode and is generating a Wifi network, the Ipad is connected on it
So now, It is just the Ipad and the printer in a direct easy connection, I still get the 3 icons in the options in a green color, saying that I am good to go.
Same thing happens, I takes the 3 pics, make the collage right away, but the timer appears and stays forever.
I can still manually go to the gallery, select pictures to create a collage and launch the printing, and it works this way.
Config 3
- No more Ipad
- I Uninstalled Sololink from the Iphone and installed Wifibooth on it, I connected it directly to the printer
- The Printer CP1200 is in "direct connect" mode and is generating a Wifi network, the Iphone is connected on it
And in this configuration it finally works !
I have to use the 7MPX front camera of the Iphone, and it has a smaller screen to select the options but at least it's working this way.
So in summary what is messing around is the connection between the Ipad and the printer, but it's not completely messy as it works if you do it manually in 2 movements...
Do you have any workarounds to suggest?
Thanks!
