Nov 17, 2012 5:47 PM in response to Georgiesdadby Diavonex,1. Buy a AirPrint enabled printer; see list below

2. Run the CD provided and setup as network printer; this will setup your printer to the same network as your iPad

3. Start printing from your iPad without wire

What model router is it?

Nov 17, 2012 7:07 PM in response to Georgiesdadby John Galt,That router was first produced eight years ago, making it quite aged.
There is a firmware update available for it but even it is three years old: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT110
In general, users have reported unreliable AirPrint operation with that router even with updated firmware. It may be time to retire it.
I recommend a genuine AirPort Base Station.

Nov 18, 2012 6:20 AM in response to Georgiesdadby ShlomiL,Also be sure to set your router to allow Multicasting, it is disabled by the default configuration of Linksys routers/
You may find the option within the router configuration under Security.. from there check the Filter Multicast option and save the changes..
For any further assistant I would suggest contacting your ISP, the router should more likely be compatible with AirPrint.

Apr 2, 2013 10:27 AM in response to Georgiesdadby Take a Byte,You might try turning off IPV6 on the printer. Just did an install for my mother-in-law and that's what it took.
