Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan and click the Sharing Preferences button. If you don't see you printer listed, make sure Printer Sharing is turned on. Lastly, by clicking on the + button below the printers pane in the Printopia window, you can add another virtual destination, such as a specific folder on your Mac or even Dropbox, or an application such as iPhoto. Instead of to the printer, you can send it as a PDF to your Mac. You can also use your Mac as a virtual printer. I was able to print from my iPad 2's Mail app, Photos app, Web pages in Safari, and iWork apps Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Unless you have a Mac Mini and always leave it running, one drawback is your Mac needs to be running and connected to your printer in order to print from and iDevice using Printopia.
As long as everything is connected to the same network, Printopia should find your printer automatically, whether a printer is connected via USB to your Mac or via a wired or wireless connection to your Wi-Fi router. On the Printopia window, an on/off button sits on the left and a list of available printers sits on the right. You'll find it listed at the bottom of the System Preferences window under Other. Printopia doesn't open as an application but instead opens as a pane in your Mac's System Preferences.

You'll need to be running Mac OS X 10.5 or later (there is no PC version of the app) and iOS 4.2 or later. To download the free trial, head to Ecamm Network's Web site. It's easy to set up, and although Printopia costs $19.95, there is a free seven-day trial you can use to make sure it works with your setup. With my MacBook Pro running the Printopia app and my printer connected to it, my iPad and iPhone are able to see my printer.
