About Cloud Printing

Which printers are supported?

 

Printing in Wi-Fi networks

Cortado Cloud Printing Ready LogoWith the Cortado Workplace app you can print documents with your iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, Android or Symbian smartphone easily via Wi-Fi. Printers from manufacturers belonging to the Cloud Printing Alliance are especially suited for this. Together with printer manufacturers, selected printer drivers are used to ensure optimal mobile printing via the cloud for mobile end devices. These printers can be recognized by the 'Cortado Cloud Printing Ready' logo. In principle however you can use any printer. Simply follow these guidelines:

  • The printer is located in the same Wi-Fi network as your mobile device
    This does not mean that you need a Wi-Fi printer, simply the printer must just be connected to the same network, for example with a standard Ethernet cable or simply via USB to an Apple Airport Express or a router. In most cases, Cortado Workplace then automatically finds the printer. Only in individual cases, for example, if the administrator blocks auto-discovery of the printer or if the hardware does not support this, then the IP address of the printer must be entered by the user. The IP address of network printers can often be found out by printing a test page.

  • The driver for your printer is hosted by Cortado
    With the aim of supporting every printer, Cortado currently hosts over 5,000 printer drivers and ensures continuous updating and extension of drivers. Below is a list of installed printer drivers. If your driver is not on the list, if you are not satisfied with the quality of a printout or if you have found a driver that supports your printer, but does not carry its name, then please report your printer »

Bluetooth printing

Printing documents with Android, BlackBerry and Symbian devices is also possible via Bluetooth. Practically any Bluetooth enabled printer that connects with the mobile device can be used. If a printer has no own Bluetooth interface, a small Bluetooth printer adapter can make it Bluetooth enabled in no time.




Printers which are not supported

Cortado’s approach is to support the highest number of printers that can be accessed directly from smartphones and tablets. But even for us there are limits. Unfortunately, the following printers are not supported:

  • GDI Printers: These are printers which connect directly to a Windows PC because they use the graphic interface of Windows for page description. Some of these devices can be converted by upgrading them into traditional network printers. We sometimes offer a driver for this printer but unfortunately it is not supported by the printer’s current configuration.

  • Printers that do not directly connect with the Wi-Fi network, but only with an end-device or specific driver software.
