I tried, the printer is connected in USB on the router but the pc must be switched on so that I can see the printer on my iPad. But I  want to print from my iPad without switching on the pc.

many thanks

Hi Boubousse,

It is how it works since the computer is the bridge for the printer to work with your iPad.

Hi,

All the proposed solutions work but not with my printer which is too old. It doesn't matter.
