Hi, I just bought this Kodak 7250 wireless printer last week (to save on ink costs) and now it seems I can't print to it from my iPhone and IPad although I can print from my Macbook Air. The message is "can't find airprinter." I am missing something here?
Thanks in advance. Alison

iOS devices print using the AirPrint feature, which requires printers that support AirPrint. Unfortunately, Kodak doesn't (which is one reason why Kodak is going into bankruptcy).
There are apps in the appStore that will print to that printer. I've had a Kodak 72xx series wireless printer for over a year now, and I use PrintMagic on my iPhone to print to it. There are likely other wifi printer apps that support that printer as well as Print Magic.
to print to a printer a device needs
to install a driver software from the printer maker so the device will know how to communicate with the printer
operating systems such as osx comes with a wide range of such drivers or you can get the driver from the printer makers website or a cd is included
as drivers are not an option for small storage devices such as ios devices apple made a generic driver model so the printers could follow it and all ios devices would be able to print on them
but the printer is required to support this
many printer makers make normal printing apps for their non airprint supporting printers that you can download for free in app store
