My brother says it works just fine. I think it costs a couple of $ and I will find out what app it is and let you know. I don't know what printer you have, Steve, but you might try looking at this article: Wireless printing stuff [ macworld.com] There are (new to me) specific printing apps from several manufacturers for their wireless printers. Some seem to work without Airprint. Perhaps one of those or Ron's suggestion might help.

I think you need to run some software on a computer connected to the printer so it can share it with you. Look for Print n Share in the App Store. You'd can then look at other apps from the developer.
I have two of their apps, but haven't really needed to print anything from an iOS device. Other than a test print, I haven't used the apps much. They seemed to work OK. Most of the time I need to print something I'm actually creating a document and I am usually at a computer when I do that.

The APP he installed in my brother's ipad to print is called Print N Share I was told it cost $9.51 in the Apple App Store. When I asked him if it was hard to set up he said: "If you've go a kid around it's not hard" He always was a bit of a Smart Alic.  Really a good kid though.

Merry Christmas Y'all No sweat. I was just giving you a hard time. It's called "hijacking" a thread, and it happens all the time. There are certain egregeous violators who lurk among us, who will remain nameless. Merry Christmas! p.s. I like my iPad. | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,657 Member/2500+posts | Member/2500+posts Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,657 | Thanks guys, the. " print N share is the way to go.
You open the app and add sites you want and them print from the app.
I had my 10 year old grandson set it up, cost me an ice cream.
