Hello Linda Kelly,
See.. because I'm old ... and time is precious I am NOT going to give you a PRINTER SPECIFIC answer.
Go to "settings"... select "Wi-Fi"... (WAP = WIRELESS access)
Radio noise (emanation: also see EMI "electromagnetic") is almost as common as dirt... a cell or portable home phone can over-power your signal, CRT (old style (cathode) TVs, FLOURESCENT lights, motors... and every computer, garage door openers, home security systems... (etc.) all emit RFI (radio frequency INTERFERENCE)... Change locations, check signal strength... still see no WAP...
Re-set that WAP (Wi-Fi box thingee (808.11B,G,N... et al))...
ELSE... Consider begging, borrowing or even buying a WAP or WAP Extender.
STILL GOT TROUBLES...
Go to the APP Store... Our solution ... FREE (at very bottom)
your COST $4.99 (for "PRO" version
"PRINT CENTRAL" (Boss says hers was free).
"Re-set the iPad..." (interesting... (Thanks again Bill Gates)).
(((Reset the iPad... INDEED))).
I would DEFINATELY have HEARD about that one...!!
~~ My wife cautions PRINT CENTRAL is an "old"
(APPLE speak: meaning more than a year) solution.
About 2 years ago...
It was time for my wife to MOVE ON to the LATEST APPLE iGadget ... to do so... she needed to find a home for her OLD iPhone 4S... (I took it... I love it).
Meaning to provide me an acceptable alternative to my CASSIOPEIA E125 ... AND easily printing DOCs from there...
I'm an old cynic... I would have re-started your resets at the Wi-Fi... then moved you on to checking if the printer was actually reported in... or even compatible...
As "bogbrush" stated... just walking up & flinging a document at a printer requires "Apple Airplay"...
But for the real world... THERE'S AN APP for that...
My wife & I (now both twice retired)... for professional reasons had quite an selection of printers ... $$$$... functions...
Print server, laser, (double sided, color, etc.)...
and although my wife is a devoted APPLE enthusiast... even she (and many HUGE ORGANIZATIONS) has soured on APPLE fads & in-flexibility... & in-compatibility... & arrogance issues.
Enter the APP for that
We don't have... nor do we plan for... any AIRPLAY.
Don't even think about resetting your iPad.

Free f/cnet... (I trust & belong to):
PrintCentral Pro
Reset the iPad and start again.
Bear in mind that if your printer is not compatible with Apple airplay it will not work with your iPad anyway
