Air Print NO! Epson iPrint YES!

I don't understand... Apple make air print but it fails to find my air printer. But I download Epson iPrint app and I can print fine.
Air print will find my printer sometimes, Epson iPrint finds it every time so something's not right with air print.
If it was my network I couldn't print anything and technically Epson must use part of the air print or my wifi network, as both are coming from my wifi only iPad.
So I'm miffed!
I will say, Air print if it worked would be the easier choice to print with.

2 iPads 2 iPhones 1 iTouch?
Firmware / ios upto date on all.
Epson works so it must be AirPrint, and like I say Epson must use air print or it won't print - like my other printer will not work with air print or the Epson apps as it's only wifi not air print / wifi.
Oh prints ok from my iMac

Can not find air printer - using epson wf 3520 connected via wifi

Hardware: macbook air
Software: Osx 10.9.5
Epson printer wf3520 connected via wifi is working - latest printer software installed
-when trying to add an air printer sometimes its showing up under bonjour - usually its not showing as available printer
-when it is installed and I try to print I get the message "printer not connected"
Any help how to install it correctly?

Hi wolfgangfromhildesheim,
If you've gone through the article that Allen provided, have gotten through to the step where you reset your printing system, and the issue persists, then the next step in the article is for you to contact the printer manufacturer for further assistance.
If you're unable to print
Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
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.
Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
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.

HT4356 I have just updated my Epson printer to one which supports air print but consider it to be a waste of money as my printer has two paper trays and there is option to choose which try...just "print" How can I print photos via AirPrint from photo tr

Hi,
First-timer on this...Just updated my printer which was less than one year old, to one which had Air Print capabilities. This one is the Epson XP605 which has two trays, one being for photos. Each time I tried to Air Print a photo, it printed from the A4 plain paper tray instead of the Photo Tray.Twice...then I came into my study and changed the printer settings to Tray 1 (photo tray) Photo paper, size 5x7 and Photo Best, but still it printed on plain A 4 paper. Would be most grateful for any help, although I did read on one Apple site that AirPrint may not be able to choose trays!!!! "may not"?? Thanks

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Trying to print off email with Epson iprint

I am experiencing difficulty printing my emails with Epson iprint. It keeps showing that it cannot find my printer.
any help i would appreciate

I, too, have just heard from an end user about problems when printing a completed form with checkboxes. She uses Acrobat 8 standard. I originally created the forms in Acrobat 8 Pro (have upgraded to 9 and now at X on Windows XP).
What's troubling is she can see the form properly completed on screen, but then sometimes the "checked" checkboxes print but most of the time they do not.
I've seen references in different online sources to font issues too, possibly an old printer drive ... bottomline I need to provide an answer for her so any comments will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You can print to a USB printer connected to your LAN or computer by installing/activating Ait Print on a PC or Mac.

Peter,
deggie gave you that link so you'd know that airprint is a reduced-options print system, designed for mobile devices (not Macs), and you need to use the specific airprint driver on the Mac when adding the printer if you want Airprint, no-options printing. Otherwise, select the "non-airprint" driver when you add the printer.
It may be helpful to Reset the Printing System to get OS X to find the right driver.

I just upgraded my iPad to ios6. Now my Epson iPrint crashes all the time. I called Epson and they had no answer...said to use AirPrint instead. But AirPrint stinks because you cannot change printer settings. Anybody know how to make iPrint work on ios6?

Anybody know how to make Epson iPrint work on ios6? Epson told me to use AirPrint, which stinks because you cannot change printer settings.

Epson needs an update to their app to support ios6. I'm sure they will in time.
Try deleting it and re download it. If that doesn't work, it's what I said above. :(

First, the Epson Stylus Color 740 (which I assume is your printer) is listed in this article, which is good news:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
So Apple can provide its driver software.
