Sure, there are several alternatives, but you will need something to serve as an intermediate device.


If you have a Mac you can purchase Printopia ($20), which works for me, or try a similar, free alternative called AirPrintActivator.


I tried AirPrint Activator a few months ago and it did not work reliably, however, the developer has since updated it so Google it and find out if it will work.


Both these products require a Mac and printer sharing enabled. If you only have Windows you're on your own but there may be similar utilities.


If you do not have a computer but you have a wired or wireless network, you can also consider this product: http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/mobile-print-servers/xprintserver.html


It can print to any printer connected to your network. Its approximate discounted price is $136.
