Can I print from my iPhone/iPad via my Airport Express without my Mac being switched on?

When I want to print on my home system I must have my Mac running on the network.  I prefer to have that switched off in the evening as I just use the iPhone /iPad from a separate building (within the extended network) but need to print! 
Airport Express is set up .... Router -erthernet -> Airport Extreme -wireless -> A.Express (Extended)  --> ethernet -> to Brother MFC-9120CN.
Is there a way to set that up without the need for a separate print server???
Thanks

Chances are, you have already tried this and already know the answer.
But, if not....sorry, but no......since your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you must use the extra software workaround in the Mac.
A newer AirPrint printer would allow you to do what you want.

  • Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past and have tried a hard reset but it can no longer find the printer.

    Why can I print from my iPhone and not my iPad? I have been able to do it in the past. I have tried a hard reset but it still cannot find the printer.

    In addition to rebooting the router and the iPad, I would reset the printer as well. Unplug the printer from power and do the same with the router. Leave the router unplugged for about 30 seconds. Plug the router in first and let it totally start up, plug the printer in again, and then reboot/reset the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. Your WiFi passwords, location services, device preferences all have to be re-entered. You will not lose any data or media whatsoever.

    Hi,
    Firstly please check to see is your printer in this list ? 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If Yes, please follow these checklists:
    iPad: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/airprint/
    iPhone: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/
    If No, probably you have to print indirect way.

  • How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?

    How can i print my files from mi iphone 5 throught the airport express?? i have the last iOS version installed and also the last firmware version of the printer. the printer is already connected to the USB airport express and when i look for printers in airprinter there is no printer found. i have an HP LASERJET P1606dn(i think that is supported by the airprinter).

    In order to function with AirPrint, a printer must connect to the network wirelessly.
    Even if you have an AirPrint compatible printer, iOS devices will not be able to print to the printer when it is connected via USB.
    So, you have two options:
    1) Reconfigure the printer to connect to the network using wireless only and the iOS devices should be able to print that way....assuming that you have up to date drivers for the printer installed.
    2) Leave the printer connected via USB and then use a third party App like Printopia installed on your Mac as a "workaround" to (hopefully) allow the iOS to device to be able to print.  If you want to give this a try, there is a free trial for Printopia, so you will know if it will work before you buy. You must have a Mac running on the network in order for Printopia to function correctly.

  • How can I print from my iPhone to a non AirPrint printer

    How can I print from my iPhone to a non AirPrint printer?  I was told by an Apple tech to do so via Airpot Express USB port. I already have a wired and wireless network and printers connected via Ethernet.  I am just trying to print from my iPad and/or iPhone to my existing printers...if possible. I tried the airport express but that does not appear to do what I need. Any help or a definitive "no way" would be appreciated.

    There are third-party apps that permit this. If on a MAC, get this:

  • After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s

    After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s.  My iPhone 4s and iPad continue to print.  When I try to print to either printer, the message reads,"contacting printer," and then, "preparing to print."  But nothing prints.

    Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

  • Can I print from my iPhone 4 using an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a

    Can I print from my iPhone 4 using an HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a.  And if so how do I do this????

    Hi stacy7560,
    You can print from your iPhone4 to your 8600 using Apple's AirPrint feature.  I have a few steps you can follow to do this:
    1.  Make sure the iPhone is on the same wireless network as your printer.
    2.  Select the mail application on the iOS device and open an email you wish to print.  
    3.  At the top of the screen, locate and press the action icon.
    4.  Select the "Print" option.
    5.  Make sure your printer is in the top field of the Printer Options screen.  If not, tap “Select Printer.”  Your printer should appear.
    6.  Press the “Print” selection.
    Note:  To print a photo, follow these same steps once you have opened the image you wish to print.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Can I play ipad / iphone etc direct to airport express without router or internet?

    Can I play ipad / iphone etc direct to airport express without router or internet?

    Something must produce a wireless signal to do what you want.
    The AirPort Express is a router.
    Is it possible to configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" and then ignore the messages informing you that you do not have an Ethernet cable plugged into the Express,and do not have an Internet connection / DNS service.

  • How do I print from my I Pad 2 using Airport Express

    How do I print from my I pad 2 using airport express.

    At this time you can't, not if you mean a printer connected via USB to the Airport unless there's been an app or workaround released that I haven't seen, or unless the printer is one of the few wireless printers that support AirPrint or for which the manufacturer has released their own app. At this time only HP has come out with printers that support AirPrint, which allows an iOS device to natively print directly to a wireless printer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    It's possible other printer manufacturers may provide updates to their printers to make them AirPrint capable. It's also possible that eventually Apple will support printers connected to a computer or Time Capsule. HP also has an app that allows printing to some of their other wireless printers, as if memory serves does Brother.
    If you don't have an HP printer or a another printer with an app available, then for now, you would have to connect the printer to your computer, then search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing. If you have a Mac, try Printopia.

  • Can't print from pc to mx922 via usb cable.

    I have a mx922 and I'm running windows 8.1
    Can't print from the pc using a usb cable but the 922 will print wireless.
    Is there a setting I'm missing?
    Thank You.

    Hi mrmustard,
    There is not a specific setting to make it so that you can print via USB; what error or message do you receive when trying to print? Also, do you have another USB cable that you can use to connect the printer to your computer?
