AirPrint: Default printer

[Pagemakers]

Prior to iOS7 my iOS device would default to an AirPrint printer.

This is not longer the case for me with iOS7. Now I have to click print and “Select a Printer” and then “recent printers” to locate the printer.

The only app that remembers the printer is Safari.

Is this a bug or by design?

You can set the default printer of your choice from the printer screen in system prefs.

If you have more than one printer available, then yes, you will be given a choice.

Printing preferences on the iOS device? Where?

On my Mac I have a default printer but this is not telling my iOS device to use it since iOS 7

I see. As far as I remember I still have to tell my phone to use my Epson AirPrint printer from the dialogue box..I can't remember it working automatically under IOS 6 either...Same goes for the iPad.

Try printing from safari on your iOS device, you see it remembers the last used print as a default. I’m sure prior to iOS 7 every app worked like this for me.

Interesting. After I printed from Safari I opened Notes and my printer was already selected. It will be interesting to see how many apps this affects and how long it will last.
