    Is there an app that will allow wireless printing from iPad 2 mini iPad and iPhone 4?
    We have wireless broadband & a wireless printer in the house & can print from laptop wirelessly via broadband but can't find an app
    Any suggestions?

    Short answer: not easily

    Long answer: there are a couple of Mac apps ( and possibly windows too) that serve as a bridge to an iPhone, but you have to leave the printer plugged into the laptop all the time for them to work.

    The other option is a new printer, but one that supports AirPrint, which is Apple's wireless printing standard. It works just fine printing from any iOS device and Macs.

    Leaving the phone out if it then other than a new printer are there options from printing from the iPads?

    The only other thing to check is that some of the printer companies have their own iOS apps that let you print to some of their wireless printers - I have a HP printer which I can print to via the HP app.

    I have an HP C4380 wireless printer and print from my iphone 4 using PrintCentral for iPhone/iPod Touch and also Printer Pro for iPhone

    You must be within the same network to use it.
