Printing with the Canon MG5220?

[Savage]

I just bought this printer from Best Buy and got finished installing it to work wirelessly with my Mac. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to use it to print from my iPhone, with no luck. Does anyone know if it's possible and if so, how?

I have no experience with WL printing but you might find information on cannon's support page for the printer:

Hi, I have the same model, look for this in AppStore:

Thanks, the app is sufficient for printing photos from my camera roll. Is there a way to print from Safari and wherever else you may be able to print from the iPhone?

No, You would need one of the new printers featuring air print. Some of the newer Hp printers have this feature.

No, it can be done without an AirPrint printer.

Get the app Print Central. It runs in the background and acts as a virtual printer and when you select Print from Safari etc it appears as a Printer. Pressing print sends it to the app which then sends it directly on to your printer. Most printers are supported for direct wifi printing.

HP's AirPrint printers are overpriced IMO. I have the Canon mp6150 which is better than the AirPrint HPs costing twice the price. Thanks to this great app I can use AirPrint with it too

Edit - just had a look in the app store and there seems to be quite a few apps now that enable you to use AirPrint with non-AirPrint enabled printer. Some much cheaper than PrintCentral (although PrintCentral does seem to have more features and settings).

Hi again. I'm Windows user not Mac, in Windows theres is a something for enable the ApirPrint, looking something similar for mac I found this: AirPrint Activator

I did not found the list for available printers but in have something close in Windows 7 and works fine, maybe this app can do it in your Mac.
