iPhone Printing for Less for a Limited Time
Posted by Charles W. Teel in News on June 5, 2009
We just submitted ActivePrint Traveler Version 1.2 for review to the Apple App Store Review Team. This new version has an entirely new user interface based on customer feedback. The biggest change is that we have replaced the plain table format with tabs at the bottom of the screen. To the right you can see the difference.
Plus we’re reducing the cost of ActivePrint Traveler for a limited time. Now you can print from your iPhone or iPod Touch for less until version 1.2 of ActivePrint Traveler is released. You can now purchase ActivePrint Traveler on the App Store for just $1.99 until version 1.2 is released.

We’re going to do a slightly different kind of contest from what we have done in the past. In fact I think this is different from what a lot of other mobile software developers have done. ActivePrint Traveler is very much a customer driven app. We launched ActivePrint Traveler for the iPhoneafter numerous requests from iPhone and iPod Touch users who wanted an easy and reliable way of printing from an iPhone while on the move.

Printing On The Go – Great USB Drive for Printing On The Go
Posted by Charles W. Teel in Printing On The Go on March 7, 2009
Yesterday I was at the Office Depot buying supplies and found a great USB Flash Drive for use with ActivePrint Traveler. Its an Ativa 4GB Thin USB Flash Drive. When they say thin on this one they mean it. It’s about a 1/16 of an inch thick and comes with a key chain loop. Its perfect if you are always on the go and need to bring along your data. The best part is that it was only $19.99! That’s a very reasonable price for 4GB of storage, especially given the physical size of the drive.
Its even better to install the ActivePrint Traveler Helper Application on so that you can also print from your phone while on the go.
New Server Up And Online!
Posted by Charles W. Teel in News on February 24, 2009
A few days ago I posted about plans to upgrade to a new more powerful server that can support more printing from more users. Well, I’m happy to announce that this process is complete. For current users you will need to transfer your account by visiting our account transfer page. Account transfer is relatively quick (it only took me 15 seconds to transfer my account) and completely automated.
This is going to be particularly beneficial for when ActivePrint Traveler launches on the Apple iTunes AppStore since that will likely bring a huge wave of new users. With this new server our current users won’t experience any downtime due to the increased server load.
If you haven’t already, go get a copy of ActivePrint Traveler for your Windows Mobile Phone.
Or if you have a phone that runs an OS other than Windows Mobile, such as Apple iPhone or RIM Blackberry, we’re in the process of developing versions of ActivePrint Traveler for those platforms as well. Go sign up for our announcement list and you’ll receive the latest news on our development of ActivePrint Traveler for your phone.

I am happy to announce that the early stages of developing ActivePrint Traveler for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch has now begun! According to the development team the iPhone version of ActivePrint Traveler will be completed in approximately one month putting us well ahead of the initial estimate of a two month development period.

- Photos from your photo album and built in camera
- Web pages from the internet
- Contacts from your Address Book
- Plain text from the built in notepad app
All of these features will be available soon in the App Store on Apple iTunes both on your desktop and your iPhone!

Service Upgrades Coming Soon
Posted by Charles W. Teel in News on February 19, 2009
I’ve got some more good news today! With the upcoming development project of an iPhone version of ActivePrint Traveler, we’re going to be doing some major upgrades to our service. Presently the ActivePrint Traveler service is an ASP .Net 3.5 Web Application using Microsoft SQL Server.
For the past several days I have been working on a port of the ASP .Net version to a PHP version which will use MySQL. Now, after all that technical junk, what does that mean for you? It means a much faster means of printing from your phone! I’m also working on adding the ability to send print jobs of greater than our current limit of 10 megabytes. My goal is to double it to 20 megabytes.
So, keep an eye out in the next week or so for an upgrade to your current Windows Mobile ActivePrint Traveler clients.

- Print photos, web pages, address book contacts, and plain text!
