• Go to C:Program Files and create a new folder called AirPrint.

2. Download AirPrint.zip and unzip it in the AirPrint folder you created in the above steps.

3. Go to Start -> run and type “cmd” to open the Windows Command Prompt.

4. Now use the following set of commands respective to your OS version:

For 64-bit Windows OS:

• sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= “C:Program Files (x86)AirPrintairprint.exe -s” depend= “Bonjour Service” start= auto

• sc.exe start AirPrint

For 32-bit Windows OS:

• sc.exe create AirPrint binPath= “C:Program FilesAirPrintairprint.exe -s” depend= “Bonjour Service” start= auto

5. As soon as you start the AirPrint service, Windows Firewall will prompt you to allow or deny AirPrint features to be shared over networks. Click on the Allow access button.

Finished. Now you can utilize the AirPrint feature on your iOS device to print any document, photo, email or webpage wirelessly over your Wifi connection.
