The Epson Artisan 710 printer does not support Airprint, however, the Epson Artisan 730 does support Airprint.

See here for lists of Airprint-capable printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356

The straight forward answer is that to print from any ios device you need an "airprint" capable printer. The specs I've looked at on the Epson site tell me that your 710 is NOT airprint capable, but your 730 IS airprint capable.

That being said, there are a number of glitchy apps that are available to enable an ios device to print to a non airprint capable printer, but they generally don't work very well. The best of these apps is "Printopia" which utilizes a Mac computer to act as an interface between an ios device and a printer. The Mac computer must be available and turned on to enable the print function.
