    Hi everyone,
    I'm new on here but enjoying what I see. I am wondering if anyone knows of a printer that will print wirelessly from an iPad. I need to be able to print anywhere without using wifi. I'd appreciate any ideas.

    Any HP printer made after 2010 is AirPrint capable. You have to have a wireless network that connect your iPad to the printer tho. It doesn't have to be Internet capable just a wireless network I've got a cheap wireless router in my truck so I can print permits from my phone.

    i bought a cheap router and print straight from my galaxy for permits also works great better than paying $2 a page at truckstops

    I think there are some Bluetooth capable printers as well.

    edit: Nevermind, you have to jailbreak your iDevice to make it print over Bluetooth. But seems there are quite a few solutions when I googled "
    print from iPad".

    I paid $25.00(7 or 8 years ago) for a HP4795 @ Best Buy, it has its own wireless network, I can print from my Droid RazrMaxx, my laptop, my grandaughter can print from her I-Phone, tablet, and I-Pod, I can't remember anyone printing here from an I-Pad but if it works with all the other stuff I would think it would.

    That's right. I need to be able to print permits and receipts, etc. anywhere I end up and without a big mess of electronics. Just my iPad and a printer.
