No. You need to have your device connected to the same network that the printer is connected
No. You need to have your device connected to the same network that the printer is connected
SInce I do not have a Internet service at home, can I connect a wireless router to my Mac and set up a wi fi network as" stand alone?
You can, but it's a bit useless if you haven't got an Internet access (of course, you can use it for AirPrint)
LEt me try again. I have a Mac (1 year old) iPad -1, and a iPhone 4 (that I use to connect to the Internet) and a 5 year old printer. How can I print from my phone or iPad either wired or wireless.
Your printer is too old to support AirPrint. It requires a printer with Wi-Fi
WHat do I need to buy in addition to a AirPrint printer?
If you have a wireless router, nothing more. Just connect the printer to the router
Another approach would be to use Printopia on your Mac to drive your existing printer and provide a Airprint compatible virtual printer to your network. You will still need the Wifi router, but not a new Airprint compatible printer.
