To take advantage of AirPrint, your compatible printer must be connected to the same wireless network as your iOS device or Mac computer. If you can open it on your apple device, chances are you can print it with AirPrint and an AirPrint compatible printer. Airprint works with Safari, Mail, Photos, iWork, PDF's in iBooks and many third-party AirPrint compatible apps available from the app store. Epson has designed this multifunction printer to be hassle-free to set up and use. With the latest in Wi-Fi technology, scanning and printing from around the office or at home is a doddle, and you can even print from this machine without a wireless network, thanks to Wi-Fi Direct. The 6.1cm LCD screen allows you to access the printer without the need for a computer, and you can also share scans to the cloud. The Epson Smart Panel app also gives you much more flexibility when it comes to printing on the go with your smartphone or tablet. Efficient and environmentally friendly The 2.4-inch color LCD is not a touch screen—to navigate it, you must rely on the button array to the right of the display. The menu structure itself is straightforward and not overpopulated; most of the menu trees are short enough that your kids shouldn't have any trouble teaching them to you.

Apple AirPrint allows full colour, top-quality printing from iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads directly from within many Apps available from the Apple App Store. At first glance, the Epson XP-4100's three interfaces–connecting to a single computer via USB cable, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct—don't appear particularly robust, but between the two wireless protocols, this little AIO can connect to most Android and iOS smartphones and tablets as well as to Windows and macOS desktops and laptops. You can, of course, network all your devices via Wi-Fi, while Wi-Fi Direct lets you make peer-to-peer connections between the printer and your handheld devices without either being connected to a local network or router. The Expression Home XP-4100 sits somewhere in the middle of Epson’s 2019 home printing line-up, coming in above the slightly cheaper XP-2100 and XP-3100, but below the XP-5100 and the XP-6100 we looked at earlier this year. It combines a standard four-ink print system with a 1200dpi scanner and 802.11n Wi-Fi, offering a choice of a direct PC or smartphone to printer connection or the more usual connection across a home network.You also get Epson's mobile Creative Print App for creating photo collages and other layouts for photo printing. And, of course, there's the company's enduring iPrint app for printing from essentially any Android or iOS app. Epson's iPrint app allows you to manage and use your printer from most Android and iOS devices. The XP-4150 also features optical scanning technology with a resolution of 1200 x 2400 DPI, which makes it ideal for scanning documents, photos, and graphics. The device has one input tray, making it easy to load multiple sheets of paper at once. However, it does not include a faxing option. We suspect that someone at Epson has made a judgement call and decided smartphone printing is in while printing from external storage is passé, but where the old XP-452 had a USB Type A port and an SD card slot, the XP-4100 only has a single USB Type-B port for a direct connection to PC. The focus here is much more on wireless printing, though – as is so often the case – the setup wizard doesn’t actually take you through setting up the wireless connection.

Colour prints take a little longer to arrive. On documents with complex colour graphics we saw speeds fall to 3.59ppm, while a 10 x 8in colour photo took two minutes and twelve seconds. An A4 print of a test chart took the best part of four minutes before it hit the output tray. Again, this isn’t a big deal if you’re just printing the odd photo – and if you’re printing a lot of photos you might want to think about spending more.

By sharing a printer installed on an Apple Mac or Windows Pc over a wireless network any printer may be able to take advantage of the AirPrint features. (An additional third-party app may be required to be installed on the local machine) You can make copies and perform other walk-up tasks, such as printing from or scanning to the cloud or a local drive, from the control panel shown in the image below.
