About:
Printopia is a macOS utility that enables AirPrint functionality for printers that are not natively AirPrint-compatible. It creates a software bridge on your Mac, allowing iOS devices to send print jobs through the host computer to virtually any connected printer. This solution eliminates the need for AirPrint-enabled hardware, extending wireless printing capabilities to older or non-Apple printers.

Key Features:

Enables AirPrint for non-AirPrint printers
Supports printing from iOS apps to any Mac-connected printer
Offers file sharing and camera import features alongside printing
Provides easy-to-use menu bar interface for management

Use Cases:

Printing from an iPhone or iPad to an older USB or network printer
Enabling wireless printing in offices with legacy printer hardware
Consolidating printer access for multiple iOS devices through a single Mac

Alternatives:

Lantronix xPrintServer – Hardware-based AirPrint server solution, no Mac required
Printer Pro – iOS app with its own driver system, requires app-based printing
