my printer prints from my mac mini wirelessly through home network. i.e. printer is connected to hub via ethernet cable. does this mean if i get a iPad it to will print ok, or is the mac mini using something else and not airprint
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
I have a similar setup where my Brother wifi enabled printer is 'seen' by the three computers on my home network. However, to get the iPad to be able to print I had to install some third-party software. I use HandyPrint and it works a charm. There are others available - Printopia, I think is another. I was able to use HandyPrint in demo mode to check that it worked as I hoped before buying a license.

AirPrint or not AirPrint
