Do I need an air printer to print from apple I Pad

Yes, iPads only support printing wirelessly using AirPrint. You cannot hook up a printer through USB.

You can go to this page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311

To see if your printer is AirPrint compatible.

Hi,

Which exact Canon printer model do you have? Even if the printer in question is not an AirPrint-enabled model, it may be supported via a special app from the printer manufacturer.
