Hi Walter,
AirPrint Basics:
The AirPrint-enabled printer must be connected to the same home Wi-Fi network
as the iOS device.
This is the default configuration in most home Wi-Fi networks.
You also need an AirPrint-enabled printer listed in this article.
Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint.

Summary
In iOS, AirPrint-enabled applications can print to an AirPrint-enabled
printer—and you don't need to install a driver or configure the printer queue.
Tap print, select a AirPrint-enabled printer, and print. It's that simple.
Cheers,
Ronni
