Hi Walter, AirPrint Basics: The AirPrint-enabled printer must be connected to the same home Wi-Fi network as the iOS device. This is the default configuration in most home Wi-Fi networks.
You also need an AirPrint-enabled printer listed in this article. Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint. <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356> Summary In iOS, AirPrint-enabled applications can print to an AirPrint-enabled printer—and you don't need to install a driver or configure the printer queue. Tap print, select a AirPrint-enabled printer, and print. It's that simple.
