More and more people choose iPad instead of the traditional computer owning to its portability and performance. However, switching from a desktop to a mobile can cause some troubles, printing files from iPad is one of them. AirPrint is the built-in function for iPad users to print files, but when you have no AirPrint supported printers or AirPrint won't work, it would be a little frustrating.
