How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

If your printer (which you did not identify in your post) is an AirPrint printer, it should work out of the box as long as everything is set up correctly and working properly.
AirPrint printers are listed here.

If you don't have an AirPrint printer, you need a third party app. There are several in the App Store that you can check out.
You can also use your computer as a print server in order to print from the iPad with Printopia for Mac, or Print Magic for Windows.

    Airprint won't work with the Kodak printers because Kodak does not support Airprint.  You'll need to check in the App store to see if Kodak makes a printing app for the iPad.  Otherwise, there are a number of third party printing apps.  People have used Printopia, Print n Share, and Print Central with good results.

    Hi there, probably the easiest way is to install the HP ePrint mobile print app on the iPad. Take a look at the information here to find out more about how this solution works and to find a download link to the App store in iTunes http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/smart-phones-handhelds-calculators/mobile-apps/app_details.html?ap...

    If it is an airprint enabled printer, then use airprint.

    Otherwise you would have to find an app that provides this feature.

    How to I get my iPad to find my Air Printer

    Reset your router and reset your iPad. Also:
    Additional Information
    If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Verify that the printer:
    Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.Notes:
    Avoid connecting AirPrint-capable printers to the USB port of Apple AirPort Base Stations or Time Capsules. Doing so can enable traditional AirPort printing from a Mac, but it will not enable AirPrint functions for iOS devices. If you cannot use Wi-Fi networking to connect the AirPrint-capable printer, use an Ethernet connection from the AirPrint-capable printer to the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
    Wi-Fi printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

  • How do I get my iPad to print from my home printer

    How do I get my iPad to print on my home printer?

    See requirements for AirPrint and printers that support AirPrint here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer supports AirPrint but does not work then:
    Your printer might need a firmware update
    Your printer must be on the same WiFi network
    Your router must support Bonjour (Zero-configuration networking).
    Troubleshooting:
    Turn Off iPad, WiFi router (remove from power), and Printer (remove from power).
    Turn on WiFi router
    Wait 30 seconds
    Turn on printer
    Wait 30 seconds
    Turn on iPad
    Try to print.
    If you need more help then what model printer do you have?

  • How do I get my iPad to print to a wireless printer

    How do I get my iPad to be able to print to my brothers DL-2270DW

    While all AirPrint printers are wireless, not all wireless printers are AirPrint - enabled. Read: Printing from an iPad or iPhone
    To print directly from an iPad you need an AirPrint - enabled printer on the same wireless network as the iPad. If a printer is not an AirPrint - printer, then you can avail yourself of some workarounds with the goal of keeping that printer in service.
    Those choices amount to varying degrees of expense or inconvenience, and are:
    1. Using a Mac or PC as a proxy for AirPrint. The Mac utilities are:
    handyPrint (Mac only, donation-supported)
    Printopia (Mac only, $19.95 with free trial)
    These are utilities you install on a Mac you would normally use for printing, enabling it to act as an AirPrint print server for any printer the Mac can use. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. The iPad needs nothing else, no iOS apps need to be installed and no configuration is necessary. If your Mac can print, so can the iPad, using one of these utilities on your Mac. The obvious disadvantage is that if you don't have a Mac they're not attractive options.
    There may be PC equivalents to the above, but you'll have to do your own research since the only product I had been aware of is no longer available.
    2. Using a standalone hardware print server such as this one:
    http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
    It is a small device connected to your network, and bypasses the need for a computer to act as an AirPrint print server.
    Its advantage is that you don't need a computer, but even the least expensive model is about the price of a new AirPrint printer. It is the more attractive option for someone who doesn't want to rely upon a utility that resides on a Mac, or who already has and wants to use a large number of non-AirPrint printers.
    Either of these two options allow you to use any printer available to your Mac: wired, wireless, or USB-only.
    3. A free iPad - resident app such as Brother iPrint&Scan. Canon, Epson, and HP have equivalent apps.
    The disadvantage of such apps is that their functions are more limited than having a true AirPrint print option appear in apps that can print, and can generally print only some types of documents.
    Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device. I recommend AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices over those of other manufacturers.
    Read the reviews and choose wisely.

  • How do I get my ipad to recognizie my brother printer.?  It is AirPrint compatible.

    How do I get my ipad to
    Recognize my brother printer?  It is an air printer compatible ...

    Make sure that the printer software is fully updated. Sometimes you have to install a firmware update for the printer before it will work with AirPrint, you can check for updates on the Brother website.
    If the firmware is up to date and If you are sure that you installed the software correctly, try rebooting the printer, your router and the iPad. Unplug the printer and the router from power for about 30 seconds. Plug them both back in...router first.
    Reboot the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    See if the printer will work after you reset everything.

  • How do I get my iPad to print on my canon MP495

    How do I get my iPad to print on my Canon MP495?

    You need to get a third party app in order to use that printer. It is not AirPrint compatible. It way be a wireless printer, but if it is not AirPrint compatible, you need a third party app. Ther AirPrint printers are listed here and your printer is not on it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    Search the App Store for printing apps..... Print Central, Print Bureau and others are available. Canon may make their own printing app. You can also download apps to your computer so that you can use the computer as the print server. Look at Print Magic for Windows - assuming you use Window.

  • How do I get my ipad to find the wireless HP printer that is supposed to be compatible w/ Air Print

    How do I get my ipad to find the wireless HP printer that is supposed to be compatible w/ Air Print?

    Mary-
    First be sure your printer is on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers at <iOS: AirPrint 101>.
    Assuming it is on that list, check to see if there is a firmware update for it.  You should be able check it from the printer's control panel in one of the setup or preferences menus.
    If the printer is still not found in the iPad's print routine, your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  You would need to contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change you can make to its setup, or if there is a firmware update that will solve the problem.
