iPad 3 printing to static ip addressed network printer

Hi:


New iPad 3 user here...want to print to my two Dell printers (1720 and 1320c) on my Ethernet with static IP addresses assigned.


So far, no luck.


Hoping some one can give me a step-by-step solution. Likely I am making this harder than it has to be, so I am asking for help and clarity.


Thanks!

iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1

Dell isn't on the list of supported printers, but don't dispair there are several work-arounds.

Generic Software:

You can connect the printer to a computer and install software on your iPad/computer to print from your ipad to the comptuer then to the printer.

Should you have some office printer that are connected to a computer there are print enablling applicaionts you can run on the iPad to print to such printers.


For Windows, try: PrintBreau, or PrintCentral.
