how do you connect I pad to wireless printer. When it searches says can not find printer. Lap top set up and working so printer is functioning

That's not a whole lot of information you are supplying us with. How are we supposed to be able to troubleshoot your problems without even knowing what kind of printer you have? The apple AirPrint feature only prints to a select few HP printers, however, some printer companies offer an app you can download to allow you to print to their printers.
Do an App store search for the maker of the printer (Kodak, Brother etc.) and see what you come up with.
Can I put a question here?
if its a kodak, look in appstore for kodak picflick
do they have a app for a cannon MX870?
