I can print to this printer from my laptop and I can go to the IP address of the printer through safari and from there print a test page! I just can't print form any application to print something I need!
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1

Your laptop uses the printer's native language, not AirPrint that the iPad uses.
Your new WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data that AirPrint requires. If you contact the router's manufacturer, there may be a change to its setup or a firmware update that will fix the problem.

Hi Fred
I was not clear. The router is not new. It is the same one we've been using. The router is not connected to the Internet. We are just using it for intranet.
I think the bottom line question is does the network have to be connected to the Internet to print? All three iPads and three laptops are all on the same network but it is not connected to the Internet. The laptops can print the iPads and my iPhone cannot. When the router was connected to our cable modem and was therefore on the Internet the iPad/iPhone could print.
No, the internet is not required. Try rebooting your router, printer and iPad and see if the iPad picks up the printer again.
Run the CD again to setup the SSID and password to printer, this will set printer to the same network as all the other devices.
I have an HP photosmart it worked fine to print from my iPad until we had to change Internet. We now have a simple wireless router with no Internet. The iPad can see the printer but all efforts to print to it are refused as 'printer offline'.
