    To the best of my knowledge, none of Kodak's printers support AirPrint, the native printing mechanism in iOS. Kodak has a printing app of their own, and third-party printing apps such as PrintCentral are also available. All such apps have limitations, so check them out thoroughly before you pay for any such app.

     

    You can also route the printing through your computer. If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

    I have a kodak printer and Print n Share works just fine between my iPad and my printer. Y ou will also want to look on Kodak's site. They do offer many solutions. I believe you can sign up for google docs and use that to upload from your iPad to a computer hardwired to your printer that serves as a local print server. With some models you can also e-mail the document to your printer. I wasn't interested in google docs so I never delved too deeply into it. But the Kodak site might have more options for you to explore.
