One review says someone prints off their ipad but this device does not appear to have airprint capabilities. Is there a way around this?

In order to print from an idevice, you have to download a canon app from the app store. In order to print out from the ipad or iphone, you have to go into the app, then to the webpage or photograph from inside the canon app and then just print. I would have liked to see air print functionality like I have on my Epson mfp printer.

There are several apps available from within the iTunes app store that will allow you to print from an iPad, iPhone, etc. via wireless, 3G/4G, via computer printer sharing. Go to the app store and do a search on Print and you'll find a plethora of them. AirPrint is not your only option by far.

I have tried the apps in the iTunes store - none of them, including the Canon ones work worth beans.

If the printer handles AirPrint then it will work. The device does not make a non-AirPrint printer work with an iPad device.

Not sure but I know it does not print from my IPad. If you search for info on the printer, you should be able to find that out.

Oops, my last response was for a different printer. Yes, AirPrint on this model is very slick and works well for all Apple products.

Thank you. I realized this last night when I read Larry Kenyon's review. I realized then that D. Shaw was only speaking of printing photos. Thank you for confirming that for me. I am so glad that I did not order this printer since the functionality of printing from my iPad would have been my only reason for getting it! Now I am trying to decide whether to get one of the current HP e-printers, or to wait a while and see what new printing options become available for the iPad.

I glanced through the manuals and it looks like you can set up this printer on a network, so all computers on the network could have access. The iPad/iPhone airprint feature looks like it may be a proximity thing.

I found an App that prints to this printer (Canon MG5220)!!! It is called PrintBureau. After getting burned trying a couple of iPad that said they print to wireless printers, I tried this one and it worked like a charm. Autodetected the printer...no problem!!Canon PIXMA MG5220 Wireless Inkjet Photo All-In-One (4502B017)By the way, this app enables printing documents (emails, pdfs, web pages, etc.), not just photos.

I'm not super tech savy, but I have iOS 8.1.2 on my iPhone 6+ and I just tried to print from it through our wireless router. The message came back "No Air Printer was Found"...... We don't own any Mac computers.

You would have to download it to your computer via e-mail or an app before you can print, won't be able to print from iPad.

I had to download the Epson app to the iPad. It picked up the printer from my wifi. Touch the top of the screen and it will ask you to print, click the Epson tab...walla...done. Love my printer!!

It's not an AirPrint printer. I printed some photos from my iPhone, but I had to first download the Brother iPrint&Scan; app. The app is free.I also want to tell you that I had this printer for four years, then it quit printing black. I followed the online troubleshooting guide. That didn't help, so I called Brother for technical help. They sent me a new (reconditioned) printer. Absolutely free. I didn't ask for it. I just wanted them to tell me how to fix my printer. I was amazed. It's a newer model of the one I had before.

It's not a printer, it's a router. It is capable of connecting all wireless devices, but specific settings for printing from your iPad are irrelevant to this hardware.

Not a techie. My IPad is an Apple and I use a printer that accepts air, so probably yes. The only thing I find confusing is after you press Connect you must hold the on switch for 3 seconds. I keep forgetting this if I don't use it for awhile.

Make sure all the devices are at the same iOS level. On the iPad, kill all the apps and shutdown/start-up the tablet. If the iPad still can't see the printers, it could be the app you're trying to print from. Make sure all the apps have their updates applied. I haven't had any problems with iPads, even the 1st gen. Hope you get things to work.

If it is not listed on this list then no AirPrinting does not work http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356

Yes, when and if it works it will print from iOS. I recommend you go with a different brand, though.
