Printer Pro Lite by Readdle Reviews

by Dr.subsonic

The description says it's for testing of the pro version will work with your printers..... fine and dandy, but how about letting me see what my docs look from my apps and printer setup.

Not gonna spend the money if I cannot test it in my environment using my docs. I stumbled across this looking for solutions for the 100 + iPads being rolled out,but at $7 a seat no way wil that get approved.

It's easy to use and configure, but not being able to test my own docs is a deal killer. ID have been fine to have been limited to say 5 pages of printing at a time, giving a decent test of my stuff using my gear, then decide.

It would be nice to be able to actually print something. I downloaded PrinterProLite in the hopes of being able to see the interface and options. Can I scale, rotate etc.? Unfortunately the only thing PrinterProLite does is let you know if your printer is compatible. It’s not really a trial.

Without being able to actually print something and see if it actually prints satisfactorily. This only lets you configure your printer and nothing more.

This doesn't add anything that is beyond functions already available on iPad/iPhone, and does not do multi page per page, as 2 in 1 printing already present in manufacturers software. No reason or advantage to download or use it.

Recommended by a friend, I installed PrinterProLite, hoping to be able to print directly from my iPad (clipboard). WRONG, unless you purchase the full version. Misleading, and also NOT compatible with Dropbox unless PrinterProLite is updated. So.....useless!

Connected to a 2002 Kyocera km2530 and proceeded to print a ton of nonsense.

Does this mean it will work if I purchase pro?

This utility is somewhat useful, but still has major weaknesses. It is difficult to get touch responses on my iPhone XS Max. It also does not appear to support 2-sided printing.

These problems make PrinterProLite over priced for me (until I become desperate).

Doesn't work with Brother HL-2270W.
For the people who can't get it to print at all. You need to actual connect your printer to your wireless network and actually be connected to that network.

I think the reviews from a year ago don’t reflect what the developers have changed since then.

This Lite version of PrinterProLite will NOT print your documents. It has four sample files to print. One is a 8 page Wikipedia write-up on printers, another is 2 pages of Mark Twain quotes, a photo of Mona Lisa, and some Lorem Ipsum notes.

This is great to finagle if your printer can work with their app and literally nothing else. I’m glad it’ll save me $8, because this lite version enabled me to discover there is no option to utilize duplex printing on my brother printer.

I give PrinterProLite four stars because it performed exactly as described as a testing measure. I was disappointed to find out this program does not support duplexing. I print a LOT of resources for students and I was hoping to utilize multiple pages per printout and duplexing simultaneously to save paper.

(Learn to read descriptions people!)
Worked great for —testing— compatibility. It took a bit of guess and test to get it working with both of my printers. Went ahead and bought PrinterProLite since i knew it would work. I do wish I could have seen it in real-life action first but it did work as described.

Finally almost 3.5 years later, i have the IOS and Brother Printer solution. The printer lite version let me test and set up the Big Brother Color Laser Printer so i can Use it again instead of draining the inkjet printer.
I purchased the Full paid version knowing it Works after several test prints.

PrinterProLite does exactly what it says it does. The full version is very expensive. While I'm sad PrinterProLite doesn't work with my printer, thank heavens I didn't spend money on it first! So glad they included this free version to check compatibility before you buy.

I've tried the pro version, it is worth the dollar...make your non wireless printer become AirPrint printers...as long as you have Airport Station or router...it detect my HP printer directly without having to install any driver on iOS devices!!! awesome

Great app to determine for determining if paid app will work for my setup. Appreciate knowing my money will be well spent before spending it.

Thank you Readdle, nice job

This is meant to test your printer connection before you spend money. Did exactly what I needed. Nice work, developers.
