I have a Brother printer that doesn't have wifi, but I bought a Wireless Server Print to connect to it. I want the iPad can print directly to the printer without using a computer, but the iPad doesn't detect the printer. Is that possible?
iPad 2, iOS 7
The Print Server would need to be AirPrint compatible and share the printer out through the AirPrint protocol for the iPad to see it.
This one for example supports it: http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
Check your Print Server's documentation for information.
If the Print server does not support AirPrint the iPad will not be able to see the Printer.

Could this app be a solution or only would work with the wireless Brother printers?
The Apps usually only work with wireless printers, though if its free, there is no harm in trying, and see if it gets picked up, but its doubtful, as the print server would need to transmit in the same protocol the Brother Print App is expecting from the supported wireless printers.

it might with wifi one never take connection directly with another device adhoc so if the device is wireless or wired would be transparent
same deal that you can airplay from an iPhone to an Apple TV even if the Apple TV is connected by ethernet to the router
so if it don't work then it's because the brother printing app don't support your printer not because it's not wireless
How can I print from iPad to a Brother printer with a TP-link tl-wps510u connected to it without using a computer? It doesn't detect the printer.
