How can I connect my iPad with a Canon printer

I have a Canon PIXMA MG3150 printer and a Cisco EPC 3825 router, but I cannot get them to connect to my iPad. Anyone know?

Just so your aware, the USB cable isn't necessary to print from the iPad to the PIXMA MG3150. The PIXMA MG3150 is AirPrint capable.


To check, have you been able to print via AirPrint with iOS 5?


It may be that the printer requires a firmware update to do so. This is available from the Canon site Support section. You would need to connect a computer to the printer via USB, run the firmware update software and it will print.


If you need any help, let me know.

to print you need to install a driver


ios devices don't support drivers


the ways one can print is


1. get a printer which follow the generic printing model called airPrint

2. get a printing app made from app store there are free ones from manufactor and 3th party ones which support many types

3. use netgear program on your computer it works with non netgear routers too http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/8/3006689/netgear-genie-airprint-printer-update-f eatures

After connecting the USB cable to the router I followed the instruction "How to set up Apple AirPrint" , that came with the printer. I.e. pressing different buttons on the printer and one on the router. I had earlier downloaded an App for the printer called Canon iEPP. Then I opened it on the iPad and it immediately found the printer.

So the only problem really was that no where in all instructions I read in the manual and on the web told me to connect the USB cable.....

OK?
