Small portable printer for iPad
Is there a small portable printer that I can take with me to use with the ipad.
I have a Cannon ip90 which is great, but it won't print without my macbook!
In my job, I need to print out the forms on site and have people sign the
documents. It is frustrating that I cannot print from the ipad to my printer
without carring the macbook along too. Any ideas????
Thanks
There is a solution ... I've been happily printing for a while from my iPad to my battery-operated HP H470 with absolutely no wires (and no router / pre-existing WiFi connection - it operates in AdHoc mode). Literally just the iPad and the H470 - in fact, one time in a marquee in the middle of a muddy field with no power and a long way from the nearest WiFi connection, so it can be done from literally anywhere.
I also couldn't find any info on a true mobile printing solution for iPad (or iPhone/iPod for that matter) but felt sure it must be possible, somehow - so once I'd sorted it all out, I wrote down the solution and the steps to get it to work in the hope of helping others:

Battery-powered printers are rather few and far between and of those that exist not all will work with an iPad. Using a standard AC WiFi printer with an inverter will give you more options.

Please recommend portable printer for MacBook Air
Please recommend portable printer for MacBook Air...preferably budget but will consider investment for very good value and support. Ease of use is key.
on the road but have access to Target, Best Buy type places. Thank you.The answer that "any" printer from the popular vendors is simply not correct, however if you want a list of current compatible devices please click Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion

What is the best wireless label printer for iPad?
What is the best wireless label printer for iPad?
The Epson Mobilelink P60 series and the Star Micronics T300 will work over wi-fi, but not being AirPrinter printers you'll have to find a third-party printing app that will work with them. The Epson P60 now also supports printing via Bluetooth, according to Epson:

Perhaps one of those would work for you.

Setting up a wireless printer for iPad
I am trying to purchase a printer to print documents/email/ect. from my ipad using an app. I DO NOT own a computer at home, so I would need to set up the wireless printer on my network without needing a computer to do so. Is anyone aware of any printers that will allow this?
If not, are there any other ways to allow for printing form the iPad without using a computer as well (for example, a adapter or special cord)?
Any info will be appreciated!You can simply print from your ipad wirelessly without any kind of cables or Internet connections.
All you need is a simple router like “Tenda W150M Portable Wireless AP/Router (Microcenter: $34.99)” is a small device that can be powered right off of most printers USB ports. Then obviously connect any Wi-Fi ready printer and IPad to this “Tenda” router. No Internet service needed, you are using this for network connectivity purposes only. You now can be anywhere for ex: like in a car and be able to print from your IPad or iphone wirelessly, without any other needed connections.

Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks
Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it -
I need to buy a wireless/
AirPrint printer for use with my ipad. Do I need a PC to be able to set it up, as I no longer have one.Hi, Sandie.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I can not recommend a specific brand of printer. However, here is the list of compatible AirPrint printers that will work with the iPad. You can also view the manufacture's website for more information regarding setup and maintenance.

Would like to buy my elderly mother a Wifi AirPrint printer for her Ipad 2 16 GB . Not sure what to purchase , do not want anything big, difficult to work .i have looked at different ones that say they are compatible but then I read reviews that didn't work with iPad . I would like to hear from someone using ipad2 16 GB and Wifi printer that can print
Any printer that is Airprint capable should work. I find Amazon is usually a good source of reviews, whether or not you decide to buy from them.

How do I setup printer for iPad/iPhone?
I would like to use my MacBook Pro (OS X Mountain Lion), to AirPrint from our iPad and iPhones (iOS 6).
The Printer is linked up to the Canon MP240 (scanner & printer) by the USB cable and the Mac has Wifi - so I thought that it would work, but iOS devices come up with "No AirPrint Printers Found" - so does the printer need to be an AirPrint printer?
Thank you.
ATB DanielFound a free "HandyPrint" app (AirPrint Activator): http://netputing.com/handyprint
And a YouTube tutorila showing how to do it in under a minute: http://youtu.be/ANA7siy2xNw
Works for my Mac and on the iPhones & iPad! + On YouTube vid it says "works on Windows now"

Cheep black and white printer for iPads?
What is a cheep printer that my students can print directly from their iPads? I only want them to be able to print black and white.
I don't know if there's anything that's only black and white. Basically, if you find an air print printer you'll be able to print natively from the ipad, no extra apps or software
If you find a printer that's wireless you can see if the manufacturer has an app. Or you can find a third party app to enable printing.
For your needs, with a bunch of students, an entry level air print printer would probably be the best choice. Look for wifi printers and see if they are air print enabled. -
