Jul 2, 2014 3:58 AM in response to Nmagner123by JimHdk,★HelpfulSee requirements for AirPrint and printers that support AirPrint here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If your printer supports AirPrint but does not work then:
Your printer might need a firmware update
Your printer must be on the same WiFi network
Your router must support Bonjour (Zero-configuration networking).
Troubleshooting:
Turn Off iPad, WiFi router (remove from power), and Printer (remove from power).
Turn on WiFi router
Wait 30 seconds
Turn on printer
Wait 30 seconds
Turn on iPad
Try to print.
If you need more help then what model printer do you have?

Jul 2, 2014 7:42 AM in response to Diavonexby JimHdk,You do not have to use the wireless direct feature of this printer. It will function when connected to a normal WiFi router.
See the instructions for how to setup the printer connection to a WiFi router on page 49 of the user guide here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03847745.pdf
This setup is preferable since if one has the printer generate another WiFi network you will have to disconnect from your normal local network to use the printer network. This can be problematic on the iPad.
