How to Add Printer to iPad

Since the introduction of AirPrint in 2010, Apple devices no longer require a printer driver to utilize the printer. So, technically you don’t need to add a printer to the iPad to print your stuff.

When giving a print command, you may simply choose the printer of your choice, and it will start to print your document. The only condition is that your printer should have wireless capabilities and support AirPrint.

If your printer does not have AirPrint, you may still print from your iPad using the printer-specific apps.
