How to print from an IPad Air?
Hi - I have bought my wife the IPad Air 32kb for Christmas and need to know how I can print directly from it to my Canon MP970 which is not WifFi enabled?
Thanks

If it's not a wifi printer you can't. Not directly.
If your printer has a computer hard wired to it you may be able to send your document to that computer and print it from there - either via a program or app or old fashioned e-mail. Canon may also have an app or program that allows for a hardwired computer to be a local print server.
The only way you'll be able to print directly from the ipad to a printer is if that printer is air print enabled, or if it has an app or if you use a third party printing app. BUt all these options require that the printer be a wifi printer.

Tom - thanks for that. If I bought a WiFi adaptor for the printer would that work?
