PitPrint Support

Check that the printer is on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac or iPhone.

PitPrint needs local network access. On iPhone, turn it on in Settings → Apps → PitPrint; on a Mac, in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network.

On iPhone you can also add a printer manually: “Add by IP Address…”.

On iPhone, PitPrint finds older PostScript printers on your network by itself and prints to them without a Mac.

On a Mac, such a printer is listed under “Need Setup”. The button next to it opens the system’s Add Printer window; after that you print from PitPrint as usual.

Long edge: you turn the sheet sideways, like a book. Short edge: you flip the sheet upwards, like a notepad.

The preview shows both sides of the sheet. The “Flip” button turns it over.

PDF, photos, Word documents (DOCX, and on a Mac also the older DOC), OpenDocument (ODT), RTF and plain text.

Save spreadsheets and presentations as PDF first.

On iPhone: Share → PitPrint. On a Mac: in any app, ⌘P → PDF → Open in PitPrint. You can also just drop a file on the PitPrint window.

On a Mac, a scanner button appears in the toolbar next to “+” when PitPrint sees a scanner. On iPhone, scan with the camera or with your printer’s scanner on the network.

“Scan & Print” prints the scan right away, like a copier.

Toner and paper levels are only available for network printers. Some printers don’t report them, but they print normally.
