Ipad 2 can't find AirPrint Printer

iPad 2 iOS 5.1.1
Printer Canon MG8250 is an AirPrint enabled Printer.
Latest Printer Firmware V3.02.
Devices are on the same (one and only) Wireless Network.
Printer has paper and ink.
No errors displayed on printer console.
"No AirPrint Printers Found"
Any suggestions, other than putting the same problem to Canon ?

Thanks. Restarting the iPad did allow the app (Email) to see the printer. Unfortunately it doesn't stay that way.
1. Print an Email
2. Close Email
3. Do something else for a while
4 Open Email and try to print
5. AirPrint can't find printer
6. Restart iPad - now iPad can see the printer
What's happening is that the iPad "loses" the printer after an indeterminate time and I can only get it back by restarting the iPad.
This is exactly the same problem I have with getting, and losing, AirPlay.

Got new router but can't connect to printer on ipad or mac

can't find air printer on ipad or mac since we got new router but were connected to router and wiifi on

Have you tried connecting to wifi, if you cant get those apps or facebook than most likely you are not connected to wifi. Please turn on your wifi connection button in your settings. Look for the a certain wifi and type in pass code and hopefully you should have those apps.

IPad 3 can't find my printer

iPad 3 can't find my printer. My Mac prints wirelessly to it with no problem?

Does your printer support Airprint. See here for Airprint capable printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356

My I pad can't find my printer but my macBook pro can. How can I print from my Ipad?

How do I print from my ipad? it says it can't find my printer but my macbook can.

Is your printer AirPrint compatible? My MacBook can see my printer but my iPad doesn't because my wireless printer is not AirPrint Compatible.
Here are all of the AirPrint printers.

If your printer is not on that list, you need a third party app in order to print - Print and Share, Print Central, you can use Printopia for the Mac. Search for other apps that will let you print using your current printer.

My iPad shows a message "Cannot find AirPrint printer". I used to use my iPad to print materials using HP wireless printer D110. Now it does not want to print. Is this because I am now using IOS 7? What should I do to solve the problem? Help please.

Restart your WiFi router and printer by removing power for 30 seconds.

HT4356 Can't find air printer: Help?

IPad can't find air printer. Both are connected.

Without any details all we can do is guess and offer general suggestions. Have you worked through all the troubleshooting steps in the support article from which you came? Confirmed that your printer supports AirPrint? Checked with the printer manufacturer to see if there is any firmware update available/necessary?
Regards.

You don't mention the router model but some Thompson routers appear to have a problem working with Bonjour/mdns. There's some information here:

Sharonanthony-
First, try double-clicking your Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and look for the Print Center icon. If it is there, you should be able to delete any print job that might be hanging it up.
If you can access the internet, then you should have a good connection to a printer that is using the same WiFi. If you do not have your normal connection to the internet, then I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network at Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

When I try to take a print out from documents in my mailbox, it tell´s me that it can not find the printer??. I have just downloaded epson iprint since I have an Epson wifi printer. The iprint did find and succesfully installed the printer.

Chances are you Can only print from the app from the printer maker
And where you are Trying to print from May only work with AirPrint able printers which the epson would not be

I just bought an hp6500a printer and my ipad2 won't print. It says it can't find a printer. Does anyone know how to get it to print?

I need help to print. I just bought an hp6500a printer and my iPad 2 says it can't find a printer. My iMac pro is printing to it wirelessly. Help!

Just up late weighing in on this question.
I have a HP6500a. I called for help in setting up the "Air Print" facility from HP itself. 1 800 474 6836 They were great. Its complex but they have a special "Air Print" division. Ask the representative who comes on to be transferred there right away. (Unfortunately I have three conflicting computers on the same Air Print system, so I've been there a few times until everything got sorted out). I thought HP told me to install an HP Air print App on my home screen but right now I can't find it . Guess I got too many Apps! (Oh right there is a search function, but I just tried HP or Air Print and came up empty!).
Good Luck...sorry I don't remember the exact details of setting my unit up, but it does depend upon what ISP you have.

Can't find wireless printer with E2000 router

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (running Vista Home Premium) that connects to my Linksys E2000 and to a wireless printer, the Canon MX870. It's been working for months without problems.
I just got a Toshiba Satellite P770-BT4G22 Laptop (running Window 7 Professional 64 bit) and installed the Cisco Connect software following the instructions where you have already set up the router and just need to install the software to do things like add a device. I can connect to the router fine using a web browser or the Cisco Connect Software and my Toshiba connects to the Internet through the router without problems.
The problem is Cisco Connect says it can't find a wireless printer when I run it on my new Toshiba. I've put the printer within 3 feet of the router with my Toshiba in between but still it can't find it. My Dell in another room connects to the printer no problem. And I can print to the Canon if I select the Shared Canon Printer ( on the Dell) using the Toshiba's Control Panel Add Printer function. But obviously that means the Dell has to be on so that's not good for much more than troubleshooting. I've also wired a connection from the printer to the Toshiba and downloaded the latest driver, printed that way so I know that's not the problem. The problem is that Cisco Connect can't find the printer. It says there are 6 devices attached to my router so it's seeing something, but I guess not the printer. I've turned any firewalls off for this testing too.
I'm stumped as to why it can't find the printer when the Dell did and they are all on the same network. Unless it's not compatible with 64 bit Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

I have already added the printer to my network using Windows Add Printer prior to assigning the printer a static IP. But I followed your instructions in making the IP static so if I reset the router I don't have to go through the process again.
When I ran CC and told it to add a printer, it did not identify any printer for me, it went from the screen where you say to add a printer to one where it asked me to name the printer. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was referring to the Canon because I'd already added it using Windows, albeit without a static IP, just by knowing what IP it had been assigned. After I gave it the name, it went back to the "home" screen with computers & devices, parental controls, etc. No errors, but no real way to see or change what I had done.
That's why I was asking if there's a way to look at the router and view devices that have a static IP. I can view the DHCP table but it's not there of course. I don't really see anywhere using the router software (either by web connection or CC) where the Canon printer is listed. I see it in Windows Printers, but I saw it there before I reran CC and it asked me to name it.
I appreciate your help and I'm glad to be up and running with it. Especially with having a static IP. I'm just trying to better understand what happened and how to view my devices connected to the router.
Thank you very much for your help.

HT2495 I have a wirless network. I connect all my computers to it and a printer. I can print wirelessly from all computers. I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences.

I tried to add the printer to my new Macbook, which is connecte to the network, but can't find the printer on the add printer and scan icon on preferences. I downloaded a installation printer utility from the Manufacturer (lexmark), but it didn't work. Any sugestions?

You would need to get the IP address of your printer then manually add a network print queue.
To get the IP address, on the control panel of your printer, press on Setup > Network Setup > TCP/IP > View/Set IP address.
