Printopia overview

Run Printopia on your Mac to share its printers to any capable iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Printopia will also add virtual printers, allowing you to save print-outs to your Mac and send to apps.

  • Wireless Printing To Your Mac's Printers - Whether you have an inkjet printer plugged into your Mac, a laser printer plugged into your router or even a network printer, if your Mac can print to it, Printopia will share it. Printopia even supports many password-protected printers.
  • Easy, Instant Set-up - Double-click to install Printopia, and within seconds see most any connected printers on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. You'll also see Printopia's "Send To Mac" and "Send To Dropbox on Mac" virtual printers. That's it!
  • Serious Security For Privacy and Peace of Mind - With the addition of password protection for your printers, Printopia is a great solution for a shared environment such as an office of classroom. Industry-standard encryption protects your print jobs between your iOS device and your Mac.
  • Save Paper With A Printopia Virtual Printer - Printopia adds a "Send To Mac" printer to your network. This virtual printing option will save a PDF or JPG file directly to your Mac. No need to waste paper next time you need to print a confirmation page.
  • Print To Your Mac's Dropbox Folder - Dropbox.com users can print PDF and JPG files directly to the Mac's Dropbox folder. Dropbox will take care of syncing your printouts for access anywhere you go.

OK, when i first got the Printopia, it worked great on my Samsung ML-1600 printer. Then once i upgraded a version of Big Sur i lost that connection and it has to returned. I wrote to Printopia on their contact helpdesk about 2 months ago, and i have not heard from them . Please have the courtesy to reply to our mails . Thanks

After iOS 17 (even 17.1) our 3.000 devices can't find any of the 87 printerns we have in Printopia. We stared updating Printopia to 3.0.22 and updating it to 3.0.23 didn't help either. All devices running 16.x and older are not having any problems. Wonder if the problem is in Printopia or iOS. Sent a mail to the support for Printopia but never got any answer/feedback. :(

I used to use it and loved it. But since updating to Sonoma I cannot get it to install. It goes as far as "starting the printopia service.." then comes back with "install failed Invalid response from server".

Keep trying to re-install it after reformatting my iMac and keep getting "The Printopia service is no longer running. Re-install Printopia service". Keeps happening. Have send the developer many emails, and also via Twitter since mid-December, and I am ignored. Pathetic.

THANKYOU!!!!! I just spent hours trying to work out how I could print to my new (yes new) Epson printer without AirPrint (insert eyeball). I didn't want to have to use their app to print everything and couldn't figure out how to print emails wirelessly to my printer as the only way I can print is with their app. This program is brilliant!
