Hi i wonder if anyone can help we have just brought some ipad 2's for our school we have also brought an hp colour laserjet cp1525nw (wireless) which said in the apple website that it was compatible with the ipads but i need to know how to install it on the ipads we brought it to really print from pages and pictures is there an easy way to set it up.

As you rightly say, that HP printer is AirPrint compatible and therefore you should be able to print directly from your iPad. Both the iPad and the printer need to be on the same wireless network - usually controlled by a wireless router, such as the one connecting them to the Internet. That router will have assigned both the printer and the iPad an IP address.

From then on, there should be no problem. In Pages open a document you want to print, click on the 'spanner' icon at the top right hand side of the page, select 'Print' and the iPad should find your HP printer and offer you the usual options - how many copies, what pages do you want to print etc.

If you experience any problems, don't hesitate to contact us.
