how do i connect with airprint printers on a different subnet
I am trying to find out how I can connect with an airprint enabled printer/MFP which is on a different subnet than the iPad.
iPad 2, iOS 8.1.1
What can you do?
Helper app -- /print n share ( I do not know if this would work or not, but worth looking into. )
Print directly to the widest range of network or WiFi printers available in any app. Alternatively print via your computer to ALL printers including USB & Bluetooth printers. View read and display large PDF, Office & iWork files. Easily transfer & store files from the Cloud or your computer.

Generic Software:
You can connect the printer to a computer and install software on your computer to print from your ipad to the comptuer then to the printer.
What you can do is install some software on your computer which will look like airprint to your iPad, but print to whatever network printer you choose.
