I have a few questions regarding Print used in iPad Safari (window.print())

1. Does the same JS method print() work in iPad Safari without needing any update?
2. Do we need to add the printer initially?
3. Does the iOS version matter for AirPrint?
4. In my page, I am using window.print() and it does not even give any popup or even any error. Nothing happens at all. I’m testing on iOS 3.2.

Please help. Thank you.

• 2 Given 4., it looks like the answer to 1. is “no”. – Paul D. Waite Commented Apr 29, 2011 at 19:13
• Well...that is what I had thought...but another person was able to atleast see the Print popup..Not sure which OS version he had though.. – copenndthagen Commented Apr 30, 2011 at 6:04

Not sure about 1. and 2., but as for 3.:

To use AirPrint, you need one of the following devices running iOS 4.2 or later
