Jenine, As an alternative to buying a new airprint capable printer there are a couple ways to make your older printers available to your iOS devices. There are a number of airprint capable print servers that can attach to your printer and then present them on the (wireless) network as airprint printers. You can also install airprint software on a PC or Mac on the network that will make the printers available as well. I have seen oPrint for PCs which is free and might be the ticket if you have a desktop PC on the network that stays powered on. This is the disadvantage of using software installed on a PC or Mac as opposed to one of the network print server adapters.
