I bought a HP printer last year specifically to print from my iPhone. Occasionally I borrow an ipad 3 & I can print from that also. Hewlett Packard do a range specifically for this. Look for a model that does 'AirPrint' or 'eprint'. With AirPrint you can print from your ipad using your wifi network, no cables. With e print you can e mail what you want to print to a HP e mail address & print from there. Again no cables but obviously all this depends on you having a wifi router. The model I bought is HP 5510 (that's the model number in Europe) but the key is to look for AirPrint being available. I am presuming that older models of the ipad should work with this also
