My IMac, a mini, and Mac book pro can all find and print to a Brother 2040 laser printer, but my New IPad doesn't see it nor can it print to it. Any thoughts??? All software latest versions.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), All software up to date...
That is because your printer is not AirPrint compatible. Look for the application Printopia.

Thanks. That appears to bPe a solution, but one Apple should have included.
Would have thought Apple would have seen this coming and offered a solution. A miss....
They did offer a solution, there are a number of AirPrint printers:

Including quite a few from Brother. It is a new technology and it places the driver, fonts, etc on the printer, where it belongs, and not on the portable device thus eating up valuable space. A second part of AirPrint was going to work like Printopia, i.e. through the computer, but thanks to patent trolls that had to be pulled just before iOS 5 was released.
Not a miss at all.
Thanks Deggie.... I am not worthy.
LOL, sure you are. Keep that link handy, if you need a new printer buy one that is AirPrint compatible you will really enjoy it. I have one at home and put one at the coffee shop I go to. Very handy.
