Print from iPad to iMac printer

How can I print an email from my ipad using the printer connected to my imac? I use wi-fi.

Sorry, misunderstanding. I have not been able to print from my iOS devices on my Win7 network. Hence my move to purchase an iMac to try to create a homogenious environment. I'd thought I'd read somewhere that I could print to "Mac shared printers...". My previous reference to "printing on my Win7 network.." was referring to my ability to share printers on Win7 machines and print from any Windows based computer on my network. No success as of yet printing on either Win7 nor Apple OS networks.
So my search continues for a solution to print from my iPad on my network [wirelessly of course].
I just made an assumption based on some readying that if I purchased an iMac and shared my printer(s), my iOS printing issues would be resolved, and I'd have a nice new computer for my family to use. So far 1 out of 2 objectives met.

HP Premium "air printer" is not printing from iPad, but iPhone printing is fine

Greetings
I have the problem that no printouts are showing at my HP premium if printed from iPad. The iPad can see the printer, box is saying that the print is getting prepared and then sent to the printer, but it never arrives. Printerque stays empty. Printing from my MacBook via Wi-Fi is working fine as well as printing from my iPhone.
iPad 2 with iOS7, iPhone5 IoS 7, HP premium photosmart C410, MacBook Pro with Mavericks, New Air Timecapsule a/c and n wireless.
Things I tried without success:
- Use printer wired (to Timecapsule) as well as wireless
- Reset Printer to Manufacturer default
- Turn off iPad, turn off Printer, Turn off Air Timecapsule

My new printer is apple AirPrint compatible . All devices on on one remote. How do I print from iPad. What print app should I download. Any and all help appreciated

I do not know how to sync my iPad with my new canon airplay compatible printer. They are both on the same remote server. What app is best to download? What do I do after that?

If your printer is AirPrint compatible and you printer and iPad are on the same WiFi network, all that you have to do is to tap on the arrow icon in any app that you can print from and select Print from the window that pops up and this will pop up.
You do not need additional software.

Help printing from iPad to HP printer

Im trying to print from my iPad 3 to an HP officejet 6500 wireless. I don't own a Mac so is there any other way to do this without of course having to buy an AirPrint? From everything I have read to install printopia I need a Mac. What are the HP models with AirPrint?

The 6500 E710a and E710n models support AirPrint - the full list of printer that support AirPrint are on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Otherwise there is the HP ePrint app which, amongst others, supports the 6500 E709 and E710 models (full list here), and then there are third-party apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with your printer

Print from iPad over Bluetooth Printer there is a way?

I want to develope an App that will detect the Bluetooth Printer (NearBy) and then will print it.

As of now the iPad does not support using Bluetooth printing; without a change by Apple to the OS there is no way to allow this.

How to print from iPad without AirPrint printer

I attempted to download 'handy print' to my iPad2 but received the message, "Safari unable to download." I simply need to send info to a printer which is not AirPrint compatible.

... Can you confirm that a Mac running printopia can announce non-Airprint compatible Printers Airprint-disguised across the network while it is asleep?
Wake on Demand is not related to Printopia in the strictest sense, and it is not as if the Mac announces the presence of its non-AirPrint printers as much as it announces the presence of itself and its available services, which would include Printer Sharing.
From Printopia's FAQ:
Q: Does Printopia require my Mac to be on?
A: Since Printopia runs on your Mac to share printers to iOS devices, the Mac must be on and logged in for Printopia to function. You may be able to take advantage of Apple's "Wake on Demand" feature if your Mac and your base station meet certain specific requirements. See Apple's Wake on Demand support page for more details on this.
About Wake on Demand: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774. Read about how it works to understand its capabilities and limitations. Portable Macs, for example, must be plugged in to a charging source.
I could never get WoD to work reliably on earlier releases of OS X, but the feature has been working reliably since at least Lion. The Mac wakes, the print job is sent, and the Mac goes back to sleep according to the settings in Energy Saver.
Wake on Demand requires AirPort Base Stations, anything else may work but is not guaranteed.
Printopia has a trial version so you don't have to spend $20 just to find out.

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer.
....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

HT3258 I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan.

I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.

Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
Reset the printing system:

Reset the router - power it off for 15 secs, then back on. Some routers cause these kinds of errors - not recognizing devices are present.

Exactly my point: it's not a problem of not having the right printer, it's a matter of iOS not allowing it because Air Print is blocking it, probably because of a deal with HP.
But, I've solved the problem so now I can print from my iMac, my Mac Air, my iPhone and my iPad. No thanks to the folks at Apple who purposely blocked that functionality.
Can you print from your iPad directly to the printer without involving an intervening computer, yes or no.

I can't print from iPad 2 to my AirPrint enabled printer

Hi, I'd be grateful for some help on printing from Ipad 2. I have a compatible printer (HP - B210A) and my iPhone 4 picks it up and prints perfectly, as does my PC. However, I cannot get my iPad 2 to find the printer. As far as I can see the process for printing from iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are identical but only one works. Does anybody have any suggestions please?

Np2-
Your iPad 2 might be defective. An Apple Store Genius should be able to check it for you, and will replace it on the spot if it doesn't work right.
You might try resetting the network settings on the iPad. See Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings.
Although far-fetched, is it possible your iPad is connected to a different WiFi base station than you think? I've had that happen, and had to go to Settings - WiFi - (Click on the WiFi Network's blue arrow) - Forget This Network, and then select the correct network. This could easily happen if you and your neighbor both have the same WiFi name!

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1? My iPad can't find the printer. Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1? I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer. But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago. Suggestions??

Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it. So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.
