I use printopia for Mac. For a pc try this http://9to5mac.com/2010/11/25/activate-airprint-on-windows/

Covered in many prior threads. Your options that I can recall off the top of my head:

1. Use an app on your iPad
2. Use a solution like this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1293865/
3. Use a solution like the Lantronix xPrintServer

Each has its pros and cons. An app on your device will only enable that one device to print. The latter two will allow any IOS device to print.

orrr if its jailbroken use truprint http://intelliborn.com/truprint.html


it adds hundreds of printers to airprint, pretty much any network printer works... Its nice using the intergrated airprint instead of printopia or something like that.

I use the app Print n' Share from EuroSmarts Ltd. (they have a huge selection of printing apps with all sorts of different functionality, but I would recommend Printer Pro by Readdle, since the UI is way better and it's a bit cheaper. (Wasn't available when I bougt Print n' Share, and don't feel like changing since it works just as well)

It doesn't work on iOS 5.

Give it a go, as long as your pc is on and connected to the same network as your iPad, the iPad should see it as an AirPrint printer.

Obviously I fail at reading comprehension. takeshi74 already covered it
