Print without AirPrint

[buzzermaster]

Hello: I bought a Brother printer that does not support Airprint. Is there a third-party app that would allow my Air to print wirelessly that printer? I've found some for iPads and iPhones but not for Air. Thanks.

I plug my printer into an AirPort device:

Easy to enable. Once enabled you can print from the Mac easily.

I use an app called HandyPrint or at least it used to be called that. It's free with an encouraged donation and has worked flawlessly with my Epson Artisan 810.

I have used Printopia and it worked well for me.

I've used HandyPrint (formerly AirPrint Activator), but I don't know if it has been updated to be compatible with Mavericks or iOS 7. Even if it hasn't been updated, it still may work.

I am using it with Mavericks. Works fine.

Same here. no issues at all

Btw it was the best donation I've ever made and they do update the app fairly regularly..

Thanks all. I didn't expect so many options. I'm going to try the AirPort option, since I have a couple units I'm not using.

If your printer has wifi can't you just connect it to the same network and find it in printers under system preferences?
