Q: Can apple support the novel Dell laser printer c1660w as an airprinter?

I have got a Dell c1660w printer which allows wifi printing. But c1660w was not listed as an airprinter in Apple's official list. Therefore i cannot get the printing work done by my ipad.  Can apple support the novel Dell laser printer c1660w as an airprinter ?

iPad 2, iOS 6.0.1

    Only if Dell has built AirPrint support into the printer. If they haven't, you won't be able to use AirPrint. Consult the printer's documentation.There are third-party apps such as PrintCentral that support printing to non-AirPrint WiFi printers, though such apps have some limitations.
