Print from Amiga to Wi-Fi Printer?
Hi, so I have my A500 connected by ethernet to my router (via Plipbox.)
I also have a printer connected by Wi-Fi to the same router. Is there a way to print from Amiga to a local Wi-Fi printer on the same network? I have the IP address of the printer if necessary. Looking to print from Wordworth. I've seen http://aminet.net/package/driver/print/ipp_dev but that seems to be for OS 4.0 and above, and I'm not sure what I'd enter at the printer server address field as the context doesn't match anything I've seen on my Mac when printing to the Wi-Fi printer.

I do it from my Amithlon to my WiFi printer. I think it's netprinter.device or something..
Yep.. http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/NetPrinter |

It says "m68k-amigaos >= 2.0.0;" so I would assume it does. Amithlon is 3.9 and my A4000 is 3.9 so I can't say for certain on 3.1.

Unfortunately I don't think it is for 3.1. First clue was the NetPrinter prefs icon doesn't display. Then the prefs pane keeps crashing. And it guides me to make changes to the "Device" where there are no such options in the Printer prefs pane.
I'm going to say that one's for 3.5 and above. Thanks anyway though! (And at least we both use a Nexus 6/6P on Tapatalk!  )Still hoping for an A500+ option for net printing... |

I used something for printing over the network on my A4000 with OS 3.1, I just dont remember the name of the software, and the machine is not startable right now.
Anyway I found it on aminet, so see if you can find some other software there
