Sep 12, 2013 5:45 PM in response to BobbyDigital00by 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?

Sep 12, 2013 5:52 PM in response to Tunkersby Ocean20,You are correct that airprint requires a local wifi network and your device needs to be on the same network as the printer. I do not think there is any way to directly print without using the wifi network

Sep 12, 2013 6:07 PM in response to Tunkersby SergZak,Depending on the printer, you may be able to connect/print by creating an ad-hoc (Wi-Fi direct with no router) connection. Check with your printer manufacturer to see if this is supported.
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.
