i bought an airport express first generation. second version because i thought i could print from my ipad by connecting my canon printer to the airport express,
it is showing in the airport utility but when i try to print it say no airprint printer found ,
a quick google suggests i need an airprint printer but what would the point of that be if i had a air print printeri could print direct anway without the a p e couldnt i?

this article says i can use any printer

ipad printing

the music side is working ok i play through powered speakers

thanks

You still need an airprint enabled printer so as it supports the relevant driver technology.

You can print from a mac to a printer connected to an airport express primarily because the mac will have the correct drivers for the printer installed.

thanks looks like i didnt do my homework luckily the postie delivered a new mac mini today

I am so out of touch I thought you wanted guidance on how to get to Heathrow. 😆
