Whether you have an inkjet printer plugged into your Mac, a laser printer plugged into your router or even a network printer, if your Mac can print to it, Printopia will share it. Is your printer plugged into your AirPort or Time Capsule? No problem. Printopia translates for your printer, allowing it to speak to your iPhone or iPad even if it’s not an AirPrint-compatible printer. Printopia even supports many password-protected printers”, reads the blurb.

The app even lets you print a PDF or JPG, saving it directly to a Dropbox.com folder if you aren’t fussed about printing it out physically.

The app is free for the first 7 days and the will cost you $9.95 to carry on using it. It doesn’t look like the app is available for PC users at the moment though.

This application is very easy to use. Double-click to install Printopia, and within seconds see most any connected printers on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. You’ll also see Printopia’s “Send To Mac” and “Send To Dropbox on Mac” virtual printers. That’s it!
