Hi Jeff, When I first got Movie Slate, I thought that would be required, and I bought an Air Print printer. That's when I learned that all Air Print printers aren't created equally. The first one required being connected to a net with WiFi, and I couldn't print directly to the printer from the iPad without both being on a network. This was not what I'd expected, and the next weekend when I got off work, I took my iPad to Best Buy and found one I could print to directly. I ended up with an HP ENVY 4500.
Best Wishes.
