    No. Kodak has some Apps which may allow some printing. There are also some other print ing Apps in the App store: Print n Share, etc.

    The answer is mostly no.  The reason why I say mostly, is because some printer manufacturers, such as Canon have an app that allows some of its printers to print photos from iPads to a non AirPrint printer. But not normal pages.

    My advice to you is, if you want to print from an I pad, make sure you buy an AirPrint capable printer.

    As noted, most Kodak printers are not air print enabled (if not all) but there are work arounds.

     

    First, Kodak has apps that may do what you want done. Search for Kodak in the app store (just make sure they print documents if that's what you need, most of hte ones I saw the last time I looked only printed photos)

     

    Second, Kodak has a partnership with Google Docs that allow some options. Such as the ability to e-mail your document to some models. Or to have a program on a comptuer that's hardwired to the printer, you mail/upload the document from your iPad, then download to the hardwired comptuer that then prints.  (I didn't dig too deeply because I just didn't need yet another online account)

     

    Third, third party apps. I use Print n Share, others recomment Printopia or Print Central.

     

    I have a 7250 and use Print n Share and it works just fine with my Kodak printer.

     

    Look on the Kodak site, under the support part and for info specific to your model and see what options you have for your model printer.
