Which printer are you using? Are you sure it supports AirPrint? Have you tried the AirPrint Setup and Troubleshooting at Apple.com? – Josso Dec 24 '12 at 0:16
Its an HP wireless printer – Jacob H Dec 24 '12 at 0:22
Today's HP printers say that they support AirPrint. Older ones, even wireless ones, don't. – GEdgar Dec 24 '12 at 0:26

If your printer doesnt specifically support AirPlay try an app called Printopia.

The list of AirPrint enabled printers can be found here.

If you find that your printer is not on the list, a third party app like PrintCentral might be an alternative.
