iOS 4.2 AirPrint Service Enabling Guide for Windows

When Apple pushed out iOS 4.2 along with it came the AirPrint feature which enables those with iOS 4.2 devices to print emails, photos, web pages documents and such over a WiFi connection, but you will need to enable the service on your Windows 7, Windows XP or Windows Vista machine.

Thus the guys over at Jaxov by way of MacRumors, have come up with an iOS 4.2 AirPrint service enabling guide for Windows which is a step by step guide for Windows users and goes like this…

First if you have 64-bit Windows, hit up “c:\Program Files (x86)” and create a new folder naming it “AirPrint.” If you have 32-bit Windows, hit up “C:\Program Files,” and again create a folder naming it “AirPrint.”

Next you need to download the AirPrint.zip and unzip to your AirPrint folder, you can download the zip from (here). Once done go to run and type in “CMD” to open “Command Prompt,” and then enter these commands depending on your operating system version…

64-bit Windows type in…sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= “C:\Program Files (x86)\AirPrint\airprint.exe -s” depend= “Bonjour Service” start= auto
sc.exe start AirPrint

32-bit Windows type in…sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= “C:\Program Files\AirPrint\airprint.exe -s” depend= “Bonjour Service” start= auto
sc.exe start AirPrint

Once you start the AirPrint service you will be prompted by Windows Firewall so click on “Allow Access,” and that’s it all done and dusted you should now be able to print via AirPrint, so if you follow this guide feel free to let us know how you get on.
