Printing from iPad to Canon Wireless PIXMA MG 5220

How can this be done?
I Have a wifi network in the house as well as
the wireless Canon printer.
Does the iPad provide a method to simply
print the current page(s) directly to the printer
via Bluetooth?
Also have Apple laptop, iPod Touch(s), and iMac 3.2 Intel in house.
Don't see useful instructions in printer or iMac user guides.

Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5, Mac OS X (10.4.8), 20 inch Mac LCD

The iPad doesn't currently support wireless printing (although there might be an app in the App Store).

The next iOS release, iOS 4.2, due for release during November, explicitly supports wireless printing, although at this stage I can't say whether it'll support your pribter

Many thanks.
November iOS release is OK. Expect to get next version of iPad . Stuff I have on the printer
alleges it can print from iPod and iPhone. Could be a wangle for the iPad as well.

You can buy the iPad now. The new IOS is a free upgrade.

You can use apps to print to your printer, which is likely how your printer does it. If you just bought the printer, call the Canon to see if it is AirPrint compatible...
