See requirements for AirPrint and printers that support AirPrint here:

If your printer supports AirPrint but does not work then:


Your printer might need a firmware update

Your printer must be on the same WiFi network

Your router must support Bonjour (Zero-configuration networking).


Troubleshooting:


Turn Off iPad, WiFi router (remove from power), and Printer (remove from power).


Turn on WiFi router

Wait 30 seconds

Turn on printer

Wait 30 seconds

Turn on iPad

Try to print.


If you need more help then what model printer do you have?
