How can I print directly from my IPad to my network printer?

Take a look at the application Printopia. It's an application for your Mac, if in fact you have a Mac. Works great here. Cost is about $10 (US.)
I'm not sure how it will work with a network printer. Probably depends on your setup.

How can I print directly from my ipad 3rd on AirPrint Printer HP Photosmart 5510?

how can I print directly from my ipad on AirPrint Printer HP Photosmart 5510 and All-in-One?

1. Run the CD provided to set the printer for network printing. The software will set the SSID and Password on the printer.

How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer. Do I need a portable single unit Router?

How can I print directly from my iPad to my new Primax 3260 printer when I have no computer? Do I need a portable one to one Router for the wiFi connection. My Internet is through Telstra 3G system.

Is your printer a wifi printer or hard wired only? If it's a wifi printer then you might want to look into third party apps like Print n Share or Print Central which allow a version of air printing to non-air print printers.
You may also want to look on the manufacturer's site. Maybe they have a fix for you.
If your printer isn't wifi, then you will need a router to get it on a wifi network to print to it. As far as I know, there is no support for the iPad to do wired printing.

I want to print directly from my iPad to a HP Officejet J6480 wireless printer. Do I need an app for this or can I do it without and if so, how?

I am a new iPad (wi fi version) owner but not the new iPad 2. I have a home wireless network and have a HP Officejet J6480 wireless printer. I print from my iMac and Powerbook directly using the wireless network and want to print directly from my iPad also. Do I need a special app for this or can I do this with something already "built-in" to the operating system of the iPad.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you're comfortable going 'under the hood', this thread originally started in November 2010 contains a minor tweak to OS X that might work for you:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
It allows devices on iOS 4.2 or newer to print to shared wired and wireless printers as long as the Mac is on and awake.

How do I print directly from my iPad to wireless Brother air printer ?

We cannot print directly from ipad1. We have a new Brother pie print compatible (supposedly) printer, given as a gift, model MFCJ825DW. It prints nicely from my MacBook Pro through our home wifi network. The iPad, however, will not connect to the printer directly and print. I have to have the MacBook Pro running also in order to print, and then only through an app I bought off iTunes for $9.99. That app is very difficult to use as well (Pro Center...). Is there simply no way to connect an iPad 1 to print directly to this printer ? I have to take my Macbbk Pro to work, and this leaves my wife and the iPad unable to print. That was the main reason for getting the wireless printer! Am I going to have to buy an HP printer, and to they really allow you to print directly from an iPad? I have spent hours trying to solve this and have tried everything I could find, including Google cloud (unable to load Google Chrome on iPad), iPrint and Scan, etc. Can anyone help us out here, or are we just stuck with an Apple product and a printer we cannot effectively use?

Your printer is on the list of supported printers.

So it should work. I have not used a brother, but the drill for other airprint printers is:
Make sure the printer is on the same wifi network.
From the printer console, check for and install any firmware update that is available. Almost all airprint devices need the firmware up date. Do the update from the printer, not your computer.
Reboot the pad. Recycle the router. If it still is not working, goto the brother support sire and see if there is a discussion there that can help you.

This is a hint to anyone who cannot find their airprint printer from their ipad: after 10 hours of trying everything imaginable, i can now print directly from my iPad by turning off the bluetooth in settings and waiting for 30 seconds. presto!

after spending a full day and a half trying everything imaginable, i finally found a way to get my ipad to find my new airprint capable printer. I could print from email or the cloud, but not directly from my ipad. After reading a discussion about bluetooth printers, i turned off bluetooth in settings, waited 30 seconds, and voila!! I was able to print directly from my ipad. Try it if you are having troubles

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

One way would be to e-mail them from yourself to yourself. That would totally avoid the different ID issue.

How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than by one song at a time? I am still on iOS 7.

How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums. I am still on iOS 7.

You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove
