What printers can I use for apple ipad

I have a bother dcpl2540dw printer and I am unable to print from my ipad. It has wifi program built into it. Do I need a special printer?

Where can I find a list of compatable printers?

Thank you

I found the

Brother DCP-L2540DW

in the list of supported printers.


Do you have a router? Can you get on the internet from from your ipad via wifi.

Suggest you power off all your devices including router for three minutes. See if that helps. Check for installation of printer.



The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi. So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.
