    AirPrint, to the best of my knowledge, uses standard HTTP ports as well as Bonjour to discover AirPrint-compatible printers. See:

     

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629

     

    Note that your printer and your iPad need to be on the same WiFi network unless you're using one of the systems for using AirPrint or AirPlay in an enterprise environment , so in most cases a network firewall will not come into play.

     

    Regards.
