Does this printer have wireless direct technology (creates own network) to print from iPhone/iPad without an outside wi-fi connection?

Yes, as far as i know. I frequently print from my iPad. Be aware this printer is painfully slow and annoyingly noisy (even in quiet mode). If i used it more often, i might ditch it for another one. I have not had it a year, yet.

Yes, this printer connects easily to my wifi network and prints from MacBook, Windows 7 PC, and a new MacMini. I have little doubt that it would accepts print commands from any computer on the same wifi network. Better still, it accommodated AirPrint. So I can print from iphone5, iPhone 5S, and my iPad. This is a really cool and handy feature!

I didn't have this one set-up for WiFi but just set it up and printed from my iPhone so I'm sure it will print from your iPad.

Yes it will.When I got this printer a few days ago, I was at first disappointed that to print from an iPad (it's MAIN purpose), it seemed I had to print through the Samsung Mobile Print app.Fortunately with a little experimentation, I found if you enable "wifi direct" on the printer, you can print directly to the printer from any iPad app without using the Samsung Mobile Print App. Wifi direct also allows my Samsung phones to print direct from any displayed page without using Samsung Mobile Print App.

I have mine hooked up to a router so i dont use the wireless part. I am 99% sure you can use it as a stand alone wireless printer

It utilizes a wireless interface to the network. Great printer by the way. Love mine!

I am not sure if this specific model does but I found a review that indicates another printer with a bit of higher price does so I think this one would. I can tell you I have had no problems printing wi-fi on mine. I know I can print from my iphone so I think it should work. Here is the link to the review...

Yes. You do have to connect the printer directly to the router or modem and be on the same network. Or connect the printer to the network.

You can print via WiFi on the same network iOS and Android apps available. Link for iOS info is: http://www.brother-usa.com/downloads/iphone-ipod-printer.aspx#.Ut2NMBAo670

I did not order an add-on to this printer and I am able to print wirelessly from my iPhone.

No. You can hook it up to a wireless router and access it that way. It's an excellent printer. I little noisy, but the print quality and scan quality are the best.

This is not a wireless printer. It is HP ePrint capable which means you can print from wireless devices through a network but not directly to the printer.

NO. But there's an easy way to make it wireless.Just use a wirelless access point. connect the printer to it with a cat5 cable.Configure the wireless access point to act as a wireless client bridge to connect to your main WIFI network.I suggest you purchase a WIFI AP on which you can change the firmware to DDWRT. so you can make it a wireless client.The cost of an AP is about $50 and if a wifi card would exist it would probably cost more than that.

Printer functions as a stand-alone (ethernet cable) or via web. It can create its own wi-fi spot so it was available to iPhone/ipad printing even when our web connection was down last month. We like this unit a lot.

No. The iPad lacks the USB port needed to directly connect this printer. AFIK, the only way you could print from an iPad would be to configure this as a shared printer connected via USB to a computer on a wireless network. I don't use Apple products, so I don't know if your iPad can join such a network.

I haven't really tried to do that. I understand there are ways of using wi-fi printers with ipad. This isn't wi-fi, so I doubt it can be done. Others may have solutions.

No this is just a wireless printer that can print from your computer or iPad.
