Hi Dane, Airprint works with a variety of apps on your iPad, including Safari, Pages, Keynote, Numbers, iBooks (for PDF files -- not ePub), Instapaper, Evernote, Readdle Docs for iPad, Nebulous Notes (the note-taking app I posted about last week when it went free), Elements, and others. HP has a list of Airprint compatible apps in PDF format that you can download, but it's somewhat old:
http://www.hp.com/sbso/printing/mac/list-airprint-compatible-apps.pdf There are also some apps that are supposed to enable printing to non-Airprint printers. I took a chance on an app called Print Agent Pro for iPad by Dar-Soft that has been see-sawing in price between the regular $5.99 and $2.99 sale price over much of August and September. This app lets me send text documents in my Dropbox app to Print Agent Pro, and then use the print dialogue within the Print Agent Pro app to send it to an Airprint compatible printer. There may be better solutions, and Readdle's Printer Pro app is supposed to be very good. (But I missed that sale.) Here's the page listing Printer apps for the iPad from AppAdvice: http://appadvice.com/appguides/show/printing There's a free Lite version of Readdle's Printer app that people without Airprint compatible printers can use to check out whether their printers are supported. Readdle's Printer Pro also has the ability to print files from Dropbox, MobileMe, Google Docs and the photo gallery, and there's supposed to be a version for the iPhone, too. You might want to look into that, for general iPad printing. HTH.
