I attempted to download 'handy print' to my iPad2 but received the message, "Safari unable to download." I simply need to send info to a printer which is not AirPrint compatible.
iPad 2, iOS 6
Handy Print worked well for me! Thanks all for your assistance.

You figured incorrectly. Apple never had a partnership in any manner with HP for AirPrint.
As has previously mentioned this was at one time in Beta's of OS X and was pulled at the very last minute and reported at the time it was due to patent trolls.
It can be accomplished, just use an AirPrint compatible printer.
Click on the Printopia blue link in his post and follow the instructions to download, install and use that software. It will work for your situation.
Do you download that app to your MacBook Pro or to the iPad(s) or both? And thanks for being so clear!

The MacBook Pro. There is nothing you need to do with the iPad, except print.
John, thanks a lot!!! HandyPrint is very easy to be installed and worked perfectly! 🙂
I used AirPrintActivator and worked like a charm! Took me less than 5 min beg to end. Thanks!
Yes, I have one too, and AirPrintActivator works like a charm 🙂
Another thumbs-up here for AirPrint Activator, which is now called HandyPrint. The Mac has to remain logged in, but it can be sleeping. Worked perfectly.
