This article will discuss how you can print wirelessly on your iOS device using AirPrint.

Printing with your iOS device

AirPrint allows you to print from any Apple® applications such as iBook®, Mail, Photos and Safari® as well as other third party applications you have purchased or downloaded from the App Store®. To know if the application you want to print a file from supports printing wirelessly with AirPrint, check the online documentation or literature associated with the application.

QUICK TIP: If you are encountering issues while printing or if you see the No AirPrint Printer found error message, check on the following:

Ensure that the printer is powered ON. If your printer is already powered ON, you may perform a powercycle by powering it OFF then turning it ON again.
Ensure that the printer and your iOS device are connected to the same network. To know how you can connect your printer to the same network, check the printer documentation.
Ensure that the printer has paper and enough ink or toner installed.
Verify if the printer hardware is free of any error messages displayed on its control panel.
