I can not get my I Pad to print. My printer has Bluetooth and the router is working and the Bluetooth is on in my I Pad. What am I doing wrong?

Bluetooth printing is not supported on the iPad. You need a WiFi printer which supports Airprint.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
You need a suitable Wi-Fi printer which either directly supports Airprint or one of the several printing Apps available from the App Store. Bluetooth printing is not supported.
