How do I enable printing from my ipad 2, it doesn't see my wireless Brother DCP J315W printer. can anybody help?

I need to print from my Brother DCP J315W wireless printer. I don't really understand this Air Print concept and have not heard of it before, is it only on certain printers? This printer is new and I would like to be able to link it up with my IPAD 2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AirPrint is only possible on some HP printers at the moment (the models are listed on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356). There are apps that allow you to print to other printers (I havn't got any of them but I've seen apps such as Print n Share and Print Central mentioned), which can print via your pc/mac

Problems with Wireless Brother DCP-J315W printer

First thing this morning, my printer was showing as 'Offline' - but it wasn't.
I uninstalled the drivers and then tried to reinstall from the excellent Brother website but I get an error message that something is blocking communications between my (desktop XP) PC and the printer.
The first possible villain is my NIS and I'm checking that out.
Next on Brother's diagnostic "check-list" is my router - I have a BT Hub 3.0. I have to check to see if
(1) it has Multiple SSID enabled
(2) it has a Privacy Separator enabled and
(3) it has MAC address filtering.
I've spent hours going through Hub Manager and can't find anything about these three aspects. Are they in fact in Hub 3.0?
PS I should really start a new thread but is it worth upgrading to the latest hub?

Hi, I have the same printer and this happened once on mine.
I fixed it by powering down the printer, restarting it and redoing the network connection on the printer, and if I remember right deleting the printer from the PC then re-adding it.
Re your question on replacing the router, my advice would be definitely don't waste your money on any version of the HomeHub, they are rubbish. (Just read the thread titles one by one on this section of the forum!)
If you want a newer router, buy a third party one.
But, honestly, use that money to get off Windows XP instead!

No.
Printopia (running on your Mac) connects the iPad to your printer.

How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.

The Airprint printer must be on the same local network (LAN) for Airprint to work. You cannot print to your home printer using the WiFi at Tim Horton's.

I can print from my ipad but what prompt do I use if there's no 'print' option on page?

I'm set up and can print from my ipad but what key do I use if there's no 'print' option on a web page?

Use the little icon that looks like a curved arrow in a box. That should bring up a Print menu, among other things.

How do I print from an iPad 3 Generation to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer

I am a new iPad user and I have a 3rd Generation iPad and want to print to an Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer but the iPad does not recognize the printer when I try to print or visa-versa. I am using a Ubee Modem/Router and don't know what to do. What do I have to do or what do I have to download to make the iPad and HP Printer print.

.... No AirPrint Printers Found. And it won't Print
Hi,
Your printer is not in the list therefore no AirPrint available. Your printer does not support ePrint therefore you can use Home & Biz apps. Have you downloaded apps to your iPad yet ? If yes, please try:
Pressing the iPad home button two times (a list of currently running apps should appear at the bottom of the screen).
Press and hold the HP ePrint Home & Biz app until it starts to move around.
Press the red 'X' on the app to end its process.
Press the iPad home button.
Regards.

How do I print from an iPad? Do I need to download SW to the iPad?

How do I print from my iPad to my Photosmart 6510? Do I need to download any SW or App to the iPad? If so which one?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello Luc-P,
You do not need to download any apps or SW to print from your iPad. There are actually two ways to print from your iPad: using ePrint or over a local wireless network using Airprint.
To use ePrint, you would find your printers email address by enabling Web Services on the front of the printer and sending an email to this address for the printer to print your message and/or attachments included
To use Airprint, you would make sure that your printer and iPad are connected to the same wireless network and that your iPad has iOS Version 4.2 or higher and use the embedded print function included on the iPad software. You can print from Mail, Safari, and Photos app this way.
You may need to perform a product update to ensure Airprint is working.
If you have any further questions you can reply to this post and I will try to find an answer for you.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

HT1695 How do I print from my ipad mini.

HOw do I easily print from my iPad mini. I do not have a service contract so they won't help me

If you have a printer that is compatible with AirPrint then the iPad and printer just need to be on the same wifi network - the printers that are compatible are listed on this page. For other printers, some manufacturers have their own apps in the app store which support some of the models (e.g. Epson have an iPrint app and HP have an ePrint app), and there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which work with some printers.
