Despite what some people may think, it’s easy to print from the iPad. No special drivers are needed, and many people already have an iPad-capable printer. Below, how to print from the iPad.
Step 1

Step 3
Send what you want to print from the iPad to the print queue. This is done by placing the iPad directly on top of the printer, in order to establish a strong analog connection.
Step 5

What kind of joke is this? Do you want to give users some stupid information? It won’t work if you try anyway so go ahead and keep up this article but who will believe it?
I suspect most people will no believe it, because it is, after all, a joke.
Well that was no help…
