Please do if you can. I'd very much like to be a useful tester.

Hi Hypex,

I've tried both, but I think I'm doing something wrong.

When I try to print from airprint it tells me when choosing the file to print: Filetype Not Supported.

@skynet

Funny. T6: Dark Fate is on tonight. Thought I'd seen it but turns out I haven't. Apparently no ones heard of Skynet.

Anyway in my case I couldn't get AirScan to scan. I tried to print from Wordworth but got the same kind of result as you with the AirPrint window opening up. But I was able to print from AirPrint directly.

So what I did was open it up. It gives me SSL errors for some reason. But I was able to open a PDF I had and it printed it. My printer is a simple HP Deskjet 3630 and I had no idea it could accept PDF as that tends to be accepted only by office grade printers or lasers. It supports PCLm which is a PDF variant. However, even though I printed PDF, it's more likely AirPrint took the PDF and had it converted to a compatible raster format for the printer.

According to below site URF, JPEG, and PDF are supported over AirPrint.

Send me a mail: arild.aarbakk@lyse.net

@skynet

Try to open a jpeg or pdf and try to print, it should then create a preview and you should be able to print.

@mcleppa

Hi Mcleppa,

One thing I understood is that you have to use a compatible file, as you wrote in the email.

But when printing starts, the printer does nothing.

@skynet

ok,

Hopefully I manage to fix this in the next test version

@mcleppa

Good news! After trying several times I finally managed to print.

I think you have to choose the printing color carefully, I tried Monochrome-auto but nothing then I just tried monochrome and bingo it prints!

I'll provide you with the shell output of my printout if that helps you.
