Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express

Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express?

Is the printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express?
If yes, Apple does not support printing from the iPad in this manner. Try another App like Printopia which should allow the iPad to print. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether this will work.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
Is the printer connected to the AirPort Express using wireless only?
If yes, you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. See if your model is AirPrint compatible in this Apple document:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If your printer model appears, the printer may need a firmware update to enable the AirPrint feature. Contact the support folks at your printer manufacturer.
If the printer does not appear, try Printopia as above.

Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme?

Can I print from my iPad using airport extreme 802.11n ?

iOS devices use AirPrint to print directly to a printer. That would require a printer that is AirPrint-ready. Unfortunately, just connecting a non-AirPrint-ready printer to the USB or Ethernet ports of the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), will NOT enable it for AirPrint.

Can my old HP print from my iPad using airport express

Can my old HP print from my iPad using airport express.
If yes what can be done.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas

You might be able to get the iPad to print to the HP by installing an App like Print Central on the iPad.
There are no guarantees that this will work, so worst case you will be out about $10 U.S.

I cannot print from my iPad using airport express. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to airport express thru USB port. My laptop can print with no problem thru the express unit. My lap top is no a mac.

Good day, my iPad does not seem to pick up my printer. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to my airport express thru the USB port. My laptop which is windows type connects to the printer via airport express thru bonjour and this work well. My iPad does not pick up my printer thru the airport express. I have read about different software that you can download but this seems to be only if you are using a mac. I know my express is working fine as I can use airplay thru my iPad. Any ideas? I do not want to go to the expense of changing my printer, when there was no mention in the express details that your printer had to be AirPrint compatible or indeed wireless.

See this article to learn how to print from an iPad to your USB printer when you have a PC. The PC will need to be running when you want to print from the iPad.

Can you print from an iPad using airport Extreme?

Do you still need to use a third party software (I.e. Printopia) to send a print file to my Samsung printer via Airport extreme router?

Printing from iPad
You might note the * (asterisk) here and be aware of the fine print at the bottom of the Apple advertising page.
Just a small detail like the printer must be AirPrint compatible.
See this Apple document to see if the printer is AirPrint compatible

If the printer is not AirPrint compatible, then Printopia might work

Can I print from my iPad using wifi

Can I print from my iPad using wifi thanks

I know I can use Airprint and other solutions; that wasn't the point. That will no doubt work from home but what use is that to me in other location? I'm looking to print online purchase receipts, customer receipts, photos, emails etc. Chances are I'll be doing all that from my PC anyway and will stick to that. Why would I want to email my local printer and wait till it gets back to me? And why would I want my PC on just to print? Why wouldn't I just print direct from the PC? I'm missing something here. Why overcomplicate a direct process?
Would you be saying the same thing if mountain lion removes print access and you're told to use airprint? No you won't!
I want to print emails etc from my ipad as I wander different offices, or different houses. That other software did it (at a price I wasn't acepting) and I would assume someone else will build it in eventually, I have to ask why Apple want this controlled through one channel (largely) and can only see it as another tie-in to some money garnering solution in due course. It can't be processing or memory limitations as its 64Gb and Apple tell me it's a powerful gadget.
Time to see what my Asus will allow.... can't be this bad surely, but you never know. Trusty networked HP6 laserjet (via jetdirect box) and Oficejet8000 (duplex) aint going to be replaced in the near future. Trusty workhorses do all I want, efficiently, effectively, and cater for 4 users in this home.

Can't print from PC notebook through Airport Express

I am using a Sony Vaio notebook running Windows XP. I just purchased an Airport Express along with a PowerBook G4 and have my HP DeskJet 5650 connected through the Airport Express. My PowerBook is having no trouble communicating with the printer, but my PC notebook cannot "find" the printer. In talking to Apple Support on this issue, I was told to download Bonjour for Windows, which I did. Once Bonjour was installed, I was still unable to "find" the printer and, additionally, I began receiving an error message stating "The application has failed to start because dnssd.dll was not found." I reinstalled Bonjour to be safe, but the problem continued. Apple Support then suggested I set up an IP print share as an alternative solution, but that ultimately failed to work because my specific HP printer model is not listed. Strangely, and maybe the bigger issue as I attempted to set up the IP print share, when I entered my IP address as 10.0.1.1 which named the port IP_10.0.1.1, it told me the port name was already in use and wouldn't let me continue.
I'm confused and frustrated. Apple Support was as helpful as they could be, but have thrown in the towel and deemed this problem outside the scope of their support.
Can anyone please help?

Thanks, iFelix...
Unfortunately, I've tried all three methods and am still not able to bring my printer onboard.
Using the first method above, first of all, when I attempt to create a new TCP/IP port and enter 10.0.1.1 as the IP address, which then turns the port name into IP_10.0.1.1, I receive a message that the port name is already in use. When I attempt to go with "Use the following port:" and select the IP_10.0.1.1 port, I am unable to locate my printer on the list. When I attempted to get around that by using the third method above, it allowed me to go through the process having chosen another HP DeskJet "stand-in" printer, but when it came to the end of the process and I asked it to print a test page, it failed to work. I even attempted to get around the issue by selecting the "Have Disk" option in the printer window, put my printer driver disk in, and was still unable to get it to recognize my printer.
With method number two, Bonjour continues to not be able to sense my printer.
In case I didn't make this clear earlier, this PC notebook has never had any problem printing to the printer when it was connected directly by USB, the problem is only now a result of having connected the printer to the Airport Express.
If you have any other advice or suggestions, I'd appreciate it more than you can imagine.

Can you print from the iPad?

I ordered my iPad on 6/7 but won't get it till 6/24, its on back-order, DARN!! Anyway I have what may be a silly question: Can you print from the iPad using a USB cord from the printer? I pay bills online and like to have a hard copy of the receipt. Really looking forward to getting it.

To gloworm: regarding working with only one app open at a time, that should be taken care of when OS4 is available for the iPad - supposedly in the fall. As for using Air Sharing to print, you have to 1st get your files into the app via wifi from your computer. I have Air Sharing for both my phone and iPad and really like it. Once your files are in the app you just bring them up and touch the bottom left corner of iPad to bring up print. You can then print to any shared printer. I also use PrintCentral and like it for printing as well.

How can I print from my ipad? Printer is wireless and comes up with no airprinter found

How can I print from my ipad using a wireless printer? Printer is listed but comes up no airprinter found

iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.
