  You need to find one that supports AirPrint, for example:

  Epson XP425 works a treat with mine and all the other devices in the house. (2 iPads, 2 PCs, 2 Samsung phones and a MacBook)

  Surprised they haven't bought out an Apple printer. It would cost twice as much as a regular one but would still sell due to the marketing.

  They already did in the 80's and 90's, they had loads of them!

  You can make any USB printer that has Linux drivers AirPrint-compatible by using a Raspberry Pi. There are loads of guides out there.
  
  This same method will also let you use your printer on computers with newer versions of the OS that may no longer have drivers for your printer available (just set the computer up to use a network printer via the Pi with a generic postscript driver. The Pi handles the rest).

  Most of the current Canon all-in-one printers support both Airprint (and its equivalent for Android) out of the box. My Pixmia 5650 certainly does.
