Sorry, you can not. You can only print wirelessly from iPad. Either you purchase an AirPrint enabled printer, or you have a wireless printer, which you can print to via a paid for App from the App Store, such as Printopia or Print Central. If you need to connect a printer directly via USB, iPad is likely not the device for you. A Laptop might be a better option.
