AirPrint
Use AirPrint to print directly from a wired or wireless device without using a print driver. AirPrint is a software feature that allows for driverless printing from Apple iOS-based mobile devices and Mac OS-based devices. AirPrint-enabled printers let you print directly from a Mac or from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Notes:
- Not all applications support AirPrint.
- Wireless devices must join the same wireless network as the printer.
- For AirPrint to function, both IPP and Bonjour (mDNS) protocols must be enabled.
- The device that submits the AirPrint job must be on the same subnet as the printer. To allow devices to print from different subnets, configure your network to pass multicast DNS traffic across subnets.
- AirPrint-enabled printers work with iPad (all models), iPhone (3GS or later), and iPod touch (3rd generation or later), running the latest version of iOS.
- The Mac OS device must be Mac OS 10.7 or later.
- To enable AirPrint, for Enable AirPrint, click Turn On AirPrint.
Note: AirPrint is enabled by default when IPP and Bonjour (mDNS) are both enabled. To disable AirPrint, disable either the IPP or Bonjour (mDNS) protocol.
- To change the printer name, in the Name field, type a new name.
- To enter a location for the printer, in the Location field, type the location.
- To enter a physical location or address for the printer, in the Geo-Location field, enter the geographic latitude and longitude coordinates in decimal form. For example, use coordinates such as 45.325026, -122.766831.
- Click Save Changes.
- For the new settings to take effect, restart your printer.
Note: If you click Restart, the printer takes several minutes to restart and apply the new settings.
