iPad as only computer print question

[orangerock]

We are getting a relative an iPad, it will be the only computer they own. Will they be able to AirPrint without another computer connected to the printer. I am aware an HP capable AirPrint printer will be required. Also, I will activate it and update the iPad via my Mac/iTunes.

If they are using a Mac, with the latest version of OS X, it's a snap to tweak OS X to allow printing to any shared printer.

If you get an AirPrint compatible printer (currently only the few HP ones), then they can print straight to it without needing a computer.

Printing with no computer

I just got the HP C310a and love it. They will not require a computer if they have the correct apps on the iPad.

Pages allows printing documents they create.
Email allows printing.
Photos allows printing.
And Safari for web pages.

There are a few printing (hack)solutions as well that work which will allow many additional printers.
