You will need an App like PrintCentral installed on the iPads in order to print from them.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Or, you can install an application like Printopia on your MacBook Pro. The MacBook must be running if you want to print from an iPad.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
It is impossible to say whether either App will work for you, but there is a free trial for Printopia.

I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.
Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

How can I connect my iPad to an HP Photosmart c309n printer?
How can I connect my iPad to an HP Photosmart c309n printer?
You do not have an Airprint enabled printer. See the attached link for the most current Airprint list.
There are however, apps you can purchase, which will let you print via Wifi to your printer. Check out either Printopia or Print Central in the App Store. Both are about $9 and work well.

We updated our computer a while back to 10.9.2, but once it was complete we no longer use excel or word as the files were missing for them, plus our epson printer wouldn't work, it said something like the files for this printer could not be found, we tried to reload the printer using the disc as the printer was less than a year old but the computer would not load it probably, I called epson and they replied that there was a problem with the update and has done something to the mac driver, has anyone else had a problem with this update? and can it be sorted
Don't use the CD--it is almost always out of date. Just add the printer using Print & Scan System Prefs and it should find the correct drivers.
If not, go to the Epson website and download the current ones.
If you need the bundled software that comes on the CD, download it from Epson.
What version of Office was it? 2004 won't run on any OS after 10.6. Office 2008 and 2011 will run.
However, it should not have deleted any of your Documents.
If it was Office 2008 or 2011, try reinstalling it. I've found that Microsoft products have a hard time with change. It's like when you remove the pagoda from a goldfish bowl. To the goldfish, the world around them has changed and they freak out. Sometimes you can calm down the Microsoft products by reinstalling them. -
Deploying Printer to XP and Win 7 environment before it is connected to network
I have a client that is getting 4 new office printers that will be replacing their leased printers.
The third party company will come in, take away the old printers and set up the new printers. By set up, I mean they will connect the network cable, power it on, program the IP address I give them and take off. I need to pr-stage these printers so that users
will be able to print as soon as the new printers are powered on. There are a lot of users depending on these printers to work with little downtime as possible. This is a 24/7 operation unfortunately. So, it is a server 2008 R2 / Windows XP / Windows 7 domain
environment.
I am really getting close to the deadline of new printers arriving so I will walk through exact
steps I have taken to get this set up.
Ok. I have a server running 2008 R2. I added the Print services role.
Right click 'Printers' -> Add printer
select 'Add a TCP/IP Printer by IP address or hostname'
'Type of device' = 'Autodetect'
'hostname or IP address' = 'x.x.x.x' (IP address that printer will be set to)
'Port name' = 'x.x.x.x_2'
do NOT select 'auto detect printer driver'
select 'Generic Network Card'
select 'Install new driver'
select 'Have Disk' and browse to driver
'Printer name' = Printer Name
select 'share this printer'
'Share name' = Printer Name
next, next, driver installs and printer installs, and finish.
Now you have the printer installed and showing up under printers.
Now, I right click printer and -> deploy with group policy
Browse to the OU where users are located in ADUC, select the GPO that I have linked to that OU, select 'apply to users' click 'add' and click 'OK'.
The GPO adds a setting:
User Config -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Printer Connections -> Path -> \\Server\Printer
Now, I log in to a win 7 computer, gpupdate, printer shows up in devices and printers. I can't print to it obviously since it's not connected to the network yet. But, when I log in to an XP computer, run gpupdate, it does NOT populate in devices and printers.
When I run gpresult the policy is applied, but the printer is not showing up in devices and printers. Also,
I can search for the printer and install it that way since I chose 'list in directory' from the printer server so I know the driver is correct.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.From the previous description, are you using Deployed Printers? If yes, you need to run pushprinterconnections.exe on XP. You can find a 32bit binary in \windows\system32 on a 32bit version of Windows 7 With SP1.

One more question Alan, how can I set these printers I have deployed as the default for the users? -
Ipad 4 unable to detect C4599 Printer already connected to WiFi network
Hi All, I have a C4599 All in One Printer. I have just set this up sucessfully with a WiFi connection to my home router/ modem network (infrastructure mode). There are no error messages and I can print from a variety of Windows laptops (XP, Vista and 7). I have loaded the HP eprint app to my Ipad 4 but it cannot detect the printer. Note that the HP website says that this printer is compatible with the ePrint App.
A second and possibly related issue is that I have registered with the HP eprint service website but I cannot obtain the code or email address for my printer. I cannot find any way of turning on the Web Services on the printer? (The HP website says this should be under Setup>Wireless on the printer but it is not. There are only options for turning the wireless on and off, testing the wireless and printing the network and printer wireless settings (which are all OK>PASS or just information).
Any ideas?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.With the last update that was done to the ePrint app, some of the legacy printers lost the capability to use that app to print from. The printer would not have the option to print directly from the iPad to the printer either. That is a feature known as AirPrint. When one has the ability to use AirPrint, one has to place the device on the same network as the printer, pull up a photo, tap the action button on the iPad and then select print. The iPad will then give one an option of which printer to print from if there is more than one printer capable of of AirPrint on the network.
The printer cannot produce a code to signup and register for ePrint due to the age of the printer. Printers that have the ability to ePrint are a majority of the ones that were put into production from 2010 and later. Some Photosmarts that have the capability to use ePrint and AirPrint are the 7520,6520 and the 5520. To learn more about those printers, check out this link here.

i have just bought a new printer and connceted it to my wifi network and it works perfectly from my computer over wifi but my ipad wont detect it is there a way i can get it to recognise on my ipad or is this a hp problem.
thanks in advanceSetup a typical HP AirPrint Printer
1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.
2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.
3. You will be asked to connect printer to computer with USB cable
4. You will be ask how you want to connect to printer, select Network (Ethernet/Wireless) and then click Next.
5. Setup will access computer and router for wireless settings.
6. Setup will ask if you want to use wireless settings (SSID and Password) to setup printer. Select Yes and press Next.
7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.
8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.
9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint. -
My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?
OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.
Best regards,

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.
Print from your iPad with PrintCentral | How To - CNET -
I have just purchased an iPad 2. I have wi-fi for roku and have connected the iPad to it. I want to print to my usb printer. My connection is: Cox Cable spit to telephone and broadband. The broad band feed goes to a Cox modem and feeds the wi-fi. The Cisco Linksys E2500, wi-fi's the Roku and iPad. Can I USB from the wi-fi to the printer, configure (however), and then print from my iPad?
If not, how?
All comments will be appreciated.

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 recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?
You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off! Thank you dwb!

New Deskjet 3520 - print has changed to draft quality now I have changed connectivity of printer
Hi,
Hope that you can help me
I have a new Deskjet3520 printer. It was working well via USB connection and I was happy with the prints that came from it
I have now connected now via wireless connection.
The system did all the hard work and I was very impressed with how easy it was.
However, I now have a problem, I have printed off a sheet of text that is all black text with the email address part in blue.The prints are coming out as if in draft format - pale grey with the blue portion coming out pale pink!
I haven't changed any settings, just trying to print off text.
Just tried it agin and now thgere are just faint markings on the page
I have checked the setup and it is definately set for colour printing and NOT for draft
I only purchased the printer late December and it has HP inks
Can anyone help me please?It sounds like the Deskjet 3520 has developed a print quality issue. It doesn't appear that the printer has begun using a draft mode, but instead has most likely gotten some ink dried up in the ports of the printhead for the unit.
Have you tried running the Clean Printhead utility in the Setup menu of the printer?
Follow these steps to run an automatic utility to clean the printhead.
Load letter or A4, unused, plain white paper into the paper tray.
On the product control panel, press the Down Arrow ( ) to select Settings , and then press OK .
Press the Down Arrow ( ) to select Tools , and then press OK .
Press the Down Arrow ( ) to select Clean Printhead , and then press OK . The product cleans the printhead, and then prints a test page.
I would advise running 3 levels of the clean printhead utility. Also try performing an ink system reset to this unit. It may have some ink on the electrical contacts causing the printer to not communicate properly with the cartridges. For information on how to perform an ink system reset click here.
As well, there are additional steps for a print quality issue found here. Let me know how it goes.
