AirPrint
The easiest way to print from any iOS device, including an iPad, is to use a printer that supports AirPrint. AirPrint is a technology that printer-makers can integrate into their devices, so you don't need to install additional drivers to make your iPad "talk" to the printer.
Today, many printers come AirPrint-ready. To check if you have an AirPrint printer, or to find one to buy, check out Apple's list here. To print a document, web page, email or anything else from your iPad, do this:
1. Connect your iPad and your printer to the same Wi-Fi network.
