Can't select another printer with AirPrint

AirPrint found a co-workers HP C310 printer while mine was off. Now, I can't "forget" his printer and use mine. Why does AirPrint not give a list from which to choose with MAC's or IP's as well as model numbers or printer names?
It's a good start, but needs a lot of work even before supporting more printers.

If you tap the printer name then you get a list of currently available printers. The next time you try to print it appears to try to pre-select the last printer used.
The printer list shows the printer's location or the computer sharing the Mac below the printer's name.
If you have a bunch of printer's with similar names then you can change the printer's name. I do this from a Mac by going into Safari, clicking the bookmark icon, selecting Bonjour from the left column and then double-clicking on my printer. That opens the printer's web page. In the network tab click on Bonjour and change the name there.
I hope this helps.

  • I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?

    ok no problem! all i did was 1) set up the mobile hotspot on my phone. 2)  turn it and wifi on on the phone. 3)  connect the laptop/desktop to the hotspot network. 4) insert setup disk for the printer and begin setup. 5) complete the setup "using a usb cord to temporarilly connect the computer and printer" 6) unplug usb cable and finish set up on the laptop/desktop. 7) give it a few minutes to show up on the AirPrint menu on the phone. 8) that should be it. I unplugged the printer and plugged it back in, made sure the laptop was totally turned off AND disconnected from the network, and did everything I could to try and make it not work. The printer I have is a Canon MG3122, it doesn't have a fancy screen or even a way to input a password or anything like that, so it just strores a default network that it will connect to. in order to change networks i would have to complete setup multiple times. Since I only plan to use it with AirPrint for my mobile business....the one network is just fine! Hope this helps!

  • I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer.  Sometimes it just freezes.  I cannot select another printer.

    I will try to print from word to the Adobe printer.  Sometimes it just freezes.  I cannot select another printer.  It’s like all my printers are gone.  Sometimes I get an “Unable to Connect” error and sometimes I get “1 document in printer queue”.  No matter what printer I choose after I try to go to Adobe, I cannot connect to a printer.  The only solution I have come up with is a clean reboot which I can't afford to do 4-5 times a day.
    Currently on Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.09

    Hi Tymuls,
    The first step I would try is delete the Adobe pdf printer and then repair Acrobat.
    Repairing Acrobat will bring back the pdf printer. We released an update yesterday i.e. 11.0.10. try updating to the latest version and check.
    Have you tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it.
    You might also want to check the performance in a new admin user account.

  • How can I get wireless printing with my ipad?

    How can I get wireless printing with my ipad?

    Best way is to use an AirPrint compatible printer:

    If your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you might want to take a look at Printopia.

    I wouldn't judge. I've been to Arch for a week, you know? But as said, it's VERY close to it.
    What I dislike after a week is makepkg not handling dependencies automatically (which would be overhead, so probably not appropriate).

  • Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top?

    Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top? Our monitor screen is going out and would like to have another option then replacing the whole thing! I think A LCD TV would be less expensive than the repairs to our iMac.( OS 10.6.8 )

    Yes, but we need to know exactly which year model you have? So that we can advise you on exactly which adapter you need for you iMac.

    Plus, adding that Computer Monitors make better displays than TVs and comparatively cost a little less than TVs.

  • Using numbers as billing template.  How can I select a print area?

    I'm using numbers as a billing template.  How can I select a print area so that I can continue using the same sheet for all the family's bills?

    NGM,
    After deciding what you want to print, move that content to a blank Sheet. Print only that Sheet.
    This may require that you do some touch-up - delete unneeded rows and columns, perhaps add some text boxes for labels and boilerplate, etc.
    Edit: An easier approach might be to move everything that doesn't belong on your template to a different sheet, or at least to a different page of the sheet. In any case, once you have things segregated, print only what you need to have in the invoice based on whole page selections. You can set to print only the current sheet in the Print Dialog, and also in the print dialog you can select which page or pages to print.

  • Any way to select which page printed with AirPrint ?

    Got an HP 6250 with AirPrint which set up very easily and works well with my iPad 2.  But how can you get it to print just 1 page or a selected portion of a page. It doesn't seem to offer those options. It prints the whole article wasting paper and ink when I just want a selected page or paragraph.
    Thanks, Dave

  • 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!
    Go to Solution.

    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.

  • How can I share a printer with iOS devices?

    I'm using a Mini with Lion and would like to share my printer with my iOS devices.  They will only see AirPrint devices of which I have none.  Is there a way to configure my Mini to make it's shared printer available to my wireless iOS devices?

    You can install applications like Printopia or AirPrint Activator. These will share your printer on the Mac to your iOS devices.

  • Can't see my printer on AirPrint

    I can print wireless from all my pc's and MacBook with no problem - but my iPhones and iPad all signed on to the same house network don't see the printer

    Are you sure your printer is AirPrint compatible?  Just because you can print wirelessly from computers does not mean it is an AirPrint printer.  Check compatible printers here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Also, your router needs to be Bonjour compatible.

  • I can see only one Printer with Apple Talk, but there are five ???

    I have a problem on only one mac, with the Apple Talk. We have over 100 Macintosh and all the other machines see the five printers. But this one can only see "one" printer???
    What is this? We change the switch port but nothing.
    Can i delete any chaches oder preferences to clear the printers???
    The problem Mac have 10.3.9

    Have you added the other printers to the problem mac?
    If you have then my guess is that it is a network issue. How are the printers and macs networked?

  • How, in Illustrator CS5, can I select all objects with three points (or nodes)?

    I am quite new to Illustrator, but it seems this should be simple.  (It is trivial in CorelDraw X4:  After selecting an object with three nodes, I go to Edit > Find and Replace > Find Objects > Find objects that match the currently selected object, and navigate through the remaining menus.)
    In Illustrator CS5, the options under Select > Same do not seem to include selecting all objects with the same number of nodes as the currently selected object.
    Double-clicking on the Magic Wand Tool also fails to provide such an option.
    Thank you for any help.
    P.S.  Also useful would be knowing how to add other criteria to this search, e.g. how to select all objects with three points *and* the current fill color.

    There is a script that can select "less than x points"
