Notes:

  • Verify that the iOS device is running the latest version of iOS and the app you are printing from is the latest version.
  • Verify that the AirPrint printer has the latest firmware version installed. See the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for support.
  • Please read the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for details on how to connect the AirPrint printer to the network.
  • AirPrint printers connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported.
  • AirPrint printers connected by Ethernet are supported in OS X.

How to print in iOS

You can print from the Apple applications, such as Mail, Safari, Photos, Camera, Maps, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Filemaker Go, and so on. Apps available from the App Store may also offer this feature.

To print, follow these steps:

  1. Tap the action icon .
  2. Tap the Print button.
  3. Select the appropriate settings, and then tap Print.

Important: If you are printing for the first time, or if the previously selected printer is not available, you will need to select a printer before step 3.

Note: AirPrint displays only the essential printer options that apply to the document or image being printed. Details such as media type, page size, and orientation are automatically determined at print time.

Viewing the Print Queue

You can check the Print Queue by double-tapping the Home button to show the recently used apps. Then tap the Print Center.

Note: The Print Center is only available while printing is in progress.

How to print in OS X

See this article for details on setting up and using printers in OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.

Additional Information

If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"

Verify that the printer:

  1. Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
  2. Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
  3. Has the latest firmware version installed.
  4. Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
  5. Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.

If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.

Notes:

  • AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint. 
  • Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

Featured Questions
Can I use personal hotspot as wifi to connect printer?
Hotspot functionality routes wifi traffic from a conneted wifi device to a 3G/4G data network it does not create a wifi network nor provide routing for a wifi network. Get a cheap router to do what you want to do.
