Hi Dane, I noticed that Print Agent Pro, the app that I used to print from Dropbox for Air Print Compatible printers, is 50% off for October 6 purchases. This is true of all apps by the developer, Dar-Soft. Here's the link • Print Agent Pro for iPad ($2.99 -- usually $5.99) by Dar-Soft http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/print-agent-pro-for-ipad/id421782942?mt=8
Note that I've only tried this app with an Airprint supported printer, and AppAdvice claims that you can't use this app to print to a WiFi printer that is not AIrprint compatible. See their App Guide on Printer Apps: http://appadvice.com/appguides/show/printing As I said earlier, you might want to check Readdle's Lite version of their Printer app for compatibility with other printers, but this should work with Dane's configuration. Dar-Soft also has an iPhone version of this app. HTH.
