Having checked that my proposed software has an ipad version and that my proposed printer is AirPrint compatible, I'm told by the software developer that their iPad software is not compatible with AirPrint which makes getting an AirPrint printer rather pointless.

So as it would seem that simply having an AirPrint compatible printer is not sufficient in itself to quarantee being able to print from an iPad (or Iphone), is there a list somewhere of what software IS compatible with this set up? Will all Apple software print with this set up (in particular Pages)?

Looking at HP Envy 100. Software is Reunion for iPad, a genealogy program.

FWIW, the Envy is a great printer, have it myself and it works just great with AirPrint.

As for AirPrint compatibility, every Apple app I've used has it. Individual app devs just need to make it an option in their app, but it's definite there for any who choose to do so.
