How do I overcome this issue ?
Is there is any way of printing from iPad device?

Hi,

Window.Print() is supported in all major versions of browser. is there any error it throws.
You can probably check apple app centre if any free printing application is available that you can integrate with your application.
I would like to direct you to this article that talks about printing.
