AirPrint is an Apple technology that helps you create full-quality printed output without the need to download or install drivers.

About AirPrint

AirPrint is a feature in Apple Inc.'s OS X and iOS operating systems for printing via a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), either directly to AirPrint-compatible printers, or to non-compatible shared printers by way of a computer running Microsoft Windows, Linux, or OS X. AirPrint does not require printer-specific drivers.

With AirPrint, it's easy to deliver full quality photo and document printing from your iOS and OS X apps. Just select an AirPrint printer on your local network to print from your favorite iOS or OS X app. AirPrint is built into most popular printer models. AirPrint features include easy discovery, automatic media selection, and enterprise-class finishing options.

To use your AirPrint printer with Wi-Fi, the printer must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device or Mac, either through bridging, or a direct connection to your Wi-Fi network.

5. Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.

6. Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.

8. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
