Your printer is not AirPrint compatible so you need a third party printing app. Or you can use an App like Print Magic on your PC that allows you to use your PC as the print server.
Here are some printing apps that you can look at.

Your Brother HL2710 needs to be an airprinter. I do not see it on the list.

To print from the iPad, your going to have to install some more software:
