AFAIK you must either go through an intermediary (an app leveraging a connected desktop) or get a new printer with wireless direct printing. Almost all new wireless printers support the new wireless direct protocols for printing directly from iPad and Android devices. I suspect there are also hardware devices, possibly routers, that can act as intermediaries, but that's likely more expensive and complicated than buying a new printer.

I believe that 1Password requires you to buy its service separately for each and every device that you want to sync. But I do not use it on multiple devices, so that could be incorrect.
I have heard good things about a *free* password manager called Dashlane, which can sync across multiple devices. I am planning to try it out, but have not done so as yet.
If you are not syncing photos or videos, 100 GB is far more space than you need.
I have been using both iCloud and Dropbox for about a year, and both have performed flawlessly.

Actually, the different devices are synched through being uploaded to some sort of cloud service that one can pick. My question was whether people had experience with synching via Dropbox and iCloud and which they would recommend. I heard that iCloud wasn't that reliable and Dropbox is. I have been using Dropbox successfully, but I will have to buy more space on one of the two (or both?).

I sync via both services (different data), and both have been entirely dependable. And if you sync mostly text without images and videos, you really need surprisingly little space.

I have enjoyed excellent reliability using iCloud since it was released. My experience with Dropbox is too limited to make an informed recommendation, but many of our list members seem to use & like it.

Thanks for your replies. I think I will use both. Maybe iCloud for essential stuff and Dropbox for recipes and fun stuff. That way I can access both for different purposes.

Both have been perfectly reliable for me, though using iCloud for synching basic Mac functions (like Calendar and Addressbook) have sometimes been dicey over multiple devices. But as far as saving files, both have been robust.

A single purchase on the App Store will let you put 1Password on multiple iOS devices.

Even if I didn't already use 1Password, I would not entirely trust a password manager that was *free*.
The rule of thumb is that "If the app you just bought was free, the product being sold is *YOU*."

A while back, in response to a post by Randy recommending the
Logitech M325 mouse, I recommended the Logitech M525, which has a
tilt scroll wheel, unlike the M325. I've been using an M525 for some
time on my PC at work.
Recently Best Buy had the M525 on sale, so I bought one for my Mac.
Turns out Logitech doesn't have a dedicated OS X driver for the
mouse, so the system sees it as a generic mouse, and the tilt
function on the scroll wheel doesn't work. Yes, I know, when you
ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME! I'll be using the M525 on my
home PC.
