If you want to print from your iPad you will need to do it via Wifi and a Printing App from the app store or wait until the update sometime in November. (Not via BT).

I am trying to configure an iPad to print via Airprint to a HP Laserjet Pro CP1225mw printer and are having problems

Currently I am able to print to the printer via Airprint but because the iPad has a priority of Wi-Fi over 3G, when I want to browse the Internet at the same time via the iPad's 3G connection it will not which makes it hard to print pages from websites. I have the option of adding the printer to the internal wireless network for the organization but I am trying to avoid it as iOS-based devices get constantly prompted for username and password when trying to authenticate HTTPS connections and this may prove an irritation for the user that is going to get this printer. Also I want to restrict who can access this printer as it is mean for use for one specific person in the organization.

Some printers support adhoc networks. This would keep it off your corporate net. Of course, I haven't tried this.
For example HP D110.

I don't know if this will help you or not but could be worth looking into.
"The xPrintServer-Network Edition is a 'plug-and-print' hardware print server for printing from Apple iOS devices running iOS version 4.2 or higher. The device is roughly the size of an iPhone and uses the iOS native print menu. It requires no additional applications, software downloads, or printer driver installations and automatically discovers available networked printers supporting JetDirect / AppSocket, LPD and IPP protocols."

IPad based Printing via Bluetooth

Hello All,
We are working on ipad buletooth enabled printer.
We need to do program on the following for iPad.
The Requirement is:
We have an ipad that detects the nearby bluetooth enabled printer, then from the ipad we will give a print of document / pdf /any thing to the printer (the ipad that detects the printer via bluetooth).
Note: we dont want to use any third-party plugin's or apps from iStore.
Please let us know how we proceed further.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi PogoPossum,
Thanks for your reply...! and thanks for your suggestions.
We are new to this apple enivronment
After searching no of forums We have an idea that ipad supports head-set & Keyboard (both are bluetooth enabled). Suppose let me explain our idea on this.
There is an ipad which is bluetooth enabled which detects an external keyboard(via bluetooth).
Suppose if i am not wrong from the external keyboard if i type some text (APPLE) then in the ipad (APPLE) will be displayed on a notepad or any app.
In same way vice-versa can be applied or not from the 2nd point? if possible i want to know the flow of communication b/w ipad to keyboard.
If possible then i want to emulate a printer on keyboard, is this is correct that we are thinking...!
Simply from the ipad i will enter some text (APPLE) the same ascii code is given to a printer.
I think i may be wrong also please correct..!
Thanks
Vinay Guntaka

Ipad 2 print via TC

How can i print from ipad2 via time capsule. I have connected printer to time capsule on USB port. Do i need install special app for iOS. I have installed filebrowser on ipad to access time capsule disk and files.
Thanks

You need airprint capable printer or a special app.
Just google airprint.
It might be apple's idea of air head. To make it so printers cannot print without air in their heads.. print heads that is of course.

Can new iPad connect to printer via USB?

If now I have an 30 pin to USB converted can I connect my iPad with printer via USB cable, because my printer is not support wifi or Bluetooth function. If can do I need install what suitable app on my iPad to find or connect my printer?

The iPad only prints via Wi-Fi to printers that support AirPrint. Here's a website on AirPrint that includes a list of supported printers.

Can the printer also print via wifi?
If your location does’t have wifi use a portable router.

Print via Airprint with iPad 3 and Canon MG5350

Hi,
I have a very common problem but none of the so far provided answers were suitable to help me. I use a new Canon MG5350 printer with WLAN and Airprint. The firmware has been updated to version 2 and nevertheless I cannot print via Airprint from my iPad 3 WiFi. My iPhone 4 finds the Canon printer without problems but the iPad keeps saying "No Airprint printers found".
Who can help? As I said, I have updated the printer's firmware.
Cheers
Frank

Hi Frank, I too have an MG5350 and ipad3 over wireless LAN. Printer is ace when used from my PC and laptop but got the same as you did trying to print from ipad. Tried Canon UK support but useless would be a compliment. Apple support in Cork suggested going to ipad settings, switch to airplane mode which stops wifi and then switch back again, wifi reconnnects and when I try and print, it finds the MG5350 and prints! Only one problem, leave it and come back after half hour and its back to "no airprint printers found" Doing the wifi on /off trick works everytime but have no answer as to why it is dropping it but still searching.
Hope this helps a bit.

HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

Solution to print via hardwire from iPAD to HP 470 printer?

Solution to print via wire or wireless to my HP 470 printer?

Robert-
If your HP 470 has the WiFi option, an iPad App like Print n Share may work for you.
If it does not have the WiFi option, you can connect it to a computer and share it as AirPrint over WiFi using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh. For a free solution for either Mac or PC, search the web for AirPrint Activator.

HT1695 My iPad will not except my Kodak ESP 1.2 printer via wifi any help please

My iPad will not except my Kodak ESP 1.2 printer via wifi any help please

Is that model a wifi printer? As far as I know, there are no kodak printers that are air print enabled. So you have to use a third party helper of some kind.
Look on Kodak's site. They have options for various models. There might be an app that will help, I believe some models also work with google documents.
If none of those work then you can look to third party apps. I have Print n Share and it works with my iPad, but there's also Printopia and Print Central and I'm sure there are others.

My iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth

my iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth. All it does in Settings is continually search for devices. I've rebooted the phone, as well as the printer. I even sat next to the printer with no luck. It did find the printer when I initially set it up.

Did this work for you in the past?
ios does not support bluetooth printers without extra software.

You need to buy the right printer.
The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi. So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

Multiple duplicate prints via apple airport and bonjour printer driver on HP Color Laserjet 1600

Please advise if this request will incur any costs as I have exhausted all self-help resources and articles in your knowledge base. Nothing applies to my issue. I used to be able to use this printer via USB or wireless network using apple airport base station and bonjour printer driver. When my company ugraded to Windows 7, USB seems to work ok and wireless under same setup works too, but each page prints out many duplicates >40 duplicates when in wireless state. I am also trying to print from my IPAD and this does not seem to work at all. If you tell me this printer will not perform, please just be honest and let me know. I don't mind buying another printer if needed but don't want to incur more high level cartridge costs (bought many due to duplicate issue) and could afford the new printer instead. Deciding between brother or hp depending on usable feedback here. Using Lenovo T410 for all that matters...Thank you, Marc

Unfortunately, without knowing the model of the printer I wont be able to let you know too much information on the issue or how to resolve it. Also, when you upgrade your OS you often have to update the programs you are using, I would recommend uninstalling the printer and using the software available on http://goo.gl/7R6HT.
Let me know Marc!

How can I get my iPad to print?

I downloaded Microsoft word for my iPad 2. I hit the print button, and it said your printer is not on the AirPrint list. I have a canon MG 5220. Does this mean I cannot print from my iPad? Or will I need to download another app?

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.
