yes, you need to search for a wireless print server.

Oh ...... not as far as I'm aware.

This will not make it Airprint compatible.

what's your budget?

I recently got a very tidy canon inkjet from IJdirect with enough ink to last two years for around £100. Works very well.

Stoner, I know it's Friday but please keep up.

Singlecrack, if you want to print wirelessly from an iPad only a printer that supports Airprint will work. The one ^^ doesn't seem to.
