Find an AirPrint printer’s information
Before you can configure an AirPrint setting, you must know the printer’s IP address or fully qualified domain name, the printer’s resource path, and the port number.
Connect a Mac to the local network where the AirPrint printer is located.
Open the Terminal app (located in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder).
In Terminal, enter
ippfind
, then press Return.This command shows printer information such as the following:
ipp://myprinter.local.:631/ipp/port1
In this example,
myprinter.local
is the name of a printer and/ipp/port1
is its resource path.Enter the following command:
ping
myprinter.local (replace myprinter.local with the name of your printer)After you run this command, press Control-C to stop it from continually running. The command repeats lines similar to this one:
64 bytes from 10.50.25.21:…
In the above example,
10.50.25.21
is the printer’s IP address.Open AirPrint settings, then enter the printer’s IP address or domain name, resource path, and port number.
