How do I use air print on my iPad

May sound stupid but how do I print from an iPad air. I have heard the term "air print". Do I need a special printer or just a printer on a wifi network? Also where is the print command??

iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.4

I'm just a non-tech guy, so can somebody explain or confirm in layman's terms that "AirPrint" is an App that is either included with IOS or available from Apple as a download at the App Store? I search for AirPrint and get dozens of Apps, none of which are called AirPrint but are provided by various printer manufacturers or third parties. I have a new Brother printer that is on Apple's list of AirPrint-capable devices, but when I click on the sheet/arrow that sends a page or image someplace... I don't see my printer as an option, don't see an AirPrint icon either.

AirPrint is a feature that is built right into the iOS. There is no app available that enables AirPrint so you can quit looking for it. You do need an AirPrint compatible printer for it to work. You should see something like this.

DId you check to see if the printer works with your computer wirelessly? That would bet he first thing to make sure that the software is installed and working properly.
