    Can I print from the ipad?

    I just purchased my first apple product (Ipad2) and I really love it.

    Yesterday my son was using it and was viewing a web page and while viewing he asked me how to print from the Ipad which I have no idea how to do.

    I have a wireless HP printer and wanted to know how I can do this? Must I purchase an app to do this and if so which one should I buy?

    Thanks for your help.

    yes, ipad can print natively thru airprint. its built in. now u have to have a printer that is airprint enabled. if not, theres an app in the app store called print n share. itll let u print to any printer thru wifi or other methods. anf the printer doesnt have to be airprint enabled. print n share is like the do it all printing program for ipad.

    I knew one of you guys would be close behind. Hello 007! My hubby loves those films, our favourite is Sean Connery and no we aren't that old.

    Your printer may be directly compatible with the iPad.

    You can check the list here


    Apple - iPad - Print right from your iPad with AirPrint.

    If it's on that list, then you will be able to print directly without any third-party app. If it's not, then one of the suggestions provided by other Forum members will work just fine.

    Don't hesitate to get back to us if you have any further problems. Printing does cause some 'issues' with members, so you might need a little patience. I use Print N Share and it works just fine with my Samsung printer - definitely not AirPrint compatible - so don't worry, you will be able to print but it may take a bit of 'research'.

    In order for AirPrint (or Bonjour) to work, you need either a networked printer (connected to your router) or a wireless printer connected to a mac or mac hub.

    You can also use 'Airprint' without any other app if you share your computer's printers and you leave your computer running.
