The ability to print documents from an iOS device is a feature that many of us find incredibly useful, but Apple’s implementation has its flaws — such as the need for an AirPrint compatible printer. But thank to xPrintServer from Lantronix, you can wirelessly print to almost any networked printer from any iOS device.
xPrintServer is a small device that connects to your network via an Ethernet cable. Once it’s plugged in, any printer on the network can be found using the built-in print feature in iOS, with no additional software or configuration required.
Lantronix promises it’s as simple as “plug-and-print,” and they’ve put together this humorous video to demonstrate its simplicity:

xPrintServer is available to pre-order now for $150 from the Lantronix website, with shipping scheduled to begin during the first quarter of this year. Lantronix will also be at MacWorld|iWorld to demonstrate the device.
