Q. I have a iPad and a wireless printer which i hooked up to my wireless internet. However, when I searched for printers to print to on my iPad it came up with none. How can I get my iPad to recognize and pick up my wireless printers signal?
Thanks!
A. Printers need to receive the data in a format that they understand, and that usually requires specific drivers loaded onto computers in order to do that. However, HP has several printers that are made specifically to work with iPods & iPads.
Though you might have some other options. Check out the following links for some info that might work for you as one says you can also print using AirPrint to a non-wireless printer that is plugged into an Apple Airport Express via Ethernet.

Otherwise you'll have to get an AirPrint compatible printer:

How to print from iPad to a printer?
Q. I need to print things from my iPad onto my wired printer. I know there are ways of doing it with a wireless printer. Is it possible? or do I have to buy a wireless printer? Thanks alot!
James :)
A. Simplest way, I think, is to email the document, then open the email on a computer connected to the printer. In Pages, I think there is a button that sends the document straight to email
Only brand new wireless printers let you print directly from the iPad. They are easy to find if you are looking for one.
