Sep 12, 2013 5:45 PMby Tunkers,Can you please explain how to set this up. To my knowledge, AirPrint printers require a local wi-fi network. I want to be able to print directly from the iPad to the printer without having to have a local wi-fi network. Are there any specific printers that will allow me to do this?

There's a ton of info out there. You could google "ipad print ad-hoc" for some useful info. But the number one thing for you right now is to verify that your printer model supports an ad-hoc connection.
