Q: No wifi, cellular service, or hotspot: is there a way to print from an iPad to an AirPrint printer?
Hello,
I travel quite a bit and am looking for the ideal iPad/AirPrint printer setup. In some locations, wifi is unstable or not provided. Cellular service may be non existent. I do have an iPhone which does have personal hotspot capabilities, but without cellular service, I cannot create a direct connection to the printer. I could go outside to get cellular service, but that would require moving with my printer and finding an outlet for the printer.
Without wifi, cellular service, or a personal hotspot, is there a way to print from an iPad to an AirPrint printer?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Yes. A number of printers can create their own ad-hoc WiFi networks. I know that HP makes a few of them. I'm sure that there are others available.
