 Getting started
On Windows

STEP 1
Download the Snappic Windows Print Server
onto the Windows device/laptop you will be
connecting your printer to. You can find the
Snappic Windows Print Server under the
"Resources" tab on your account dashboard.

STEP 2
Download and install Bonjour on your
Windows device/laptop.

Once you have installed Bonjour, then in the

future when using the Snappic Print Server you
will not need to open Bonjour again.

STEP 3
Connect your printer via USB to the Windows device/laptop, make sure it is powered on and set as the
default printer.

Please ensure you have installed the relevant printer drivers on your Windows device/laptop before
attempting to use Snappic to print.

STEP 4
Make sure you do not have any firewalls on the Windows device/laptop as the firewall will block
communication with the iPad.

On Windows

STEP 5
Follow the below instructions based on the connection you have chosen - wireless or wired.

Wireless Connection (wireless means having NO cable connecting the iPad to the Windows device/laptop):
Make sure that the iPad and Windows device/laptop you are using are both connected to the same
hotspot/wifi connection.

Please note we do not recommend using the wifi supplied at the venue as the connection can have a security
setting that blocks the communication between the iPad and print server.

Wired Connection (wired means having the iPad connected to the Windows device/laptop via a cable):
Make sure you have iTunes installed on the Windows device/laptop you are using. Then connect your iPad to
the Windows device/laptop with a lightning cable and make sure that the iPad shows up in iTunes (this just
makes sure that the iPad is connected properly to the Windows device/laptop).

STEP 6
Now you can open the Snappic Windows Print
Server on your Windows device/laptop and
configure the printer for Standard and Strip print
outs - to read more about this scroll down to the

tapping/clicking on the name "Photo Booth Print
