How can I print from my ipad? Printer is wireless and comes up with no airprinter found

iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.

To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint compatible printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac computer running Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) or handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.

You can also buy this standalone print server:

These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.

Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

When you say listed, do yo mean it is on teh lsit of AirPrint enable printers published by apple?

It is possible you may need to update the firmware on the printer. But first try this:

1. Turn off the printer
2. Restart the router
3. Turn the printer back on
4. Restart the iPad

Have you checked to see if there is a firmware update available for your printer? You can do so on the panel on the printer and update it that way.

Are all the players on the same network?

What model router?
