Can't get iPad to print. Bought new printer for air print. When tell to print it searches for printer, but always says not printer found

Hmm, interesting that sites like airprint activator and others have sprung up to support the what seems like a problem with ipad wireless printing....and reading the many discussions here, it seem there is still a big problem between the devices that everyone has a different take on....I'm just glad I don't HAVE to print from my iPad......cause it ain't happened...

Use the steps in this article to share your Mac connected printer with PCs.

My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

First open iTunes (version 11). Then connect the iPad. Now is it recognized?
If not .............

Can not get ipad to print, my ipad mini prints perfectly on same printer

Can not get ipad2 to print, printed the first time set the printer but will not print now. Mini ipad prints just fine on the HP printer. Ipad recognizes printer but will not print to it.

Hello mariamac80,
It sounds like you cannot print from your network printer on your MacBook. Printer issues can be a but tough to nail down, but I would recommend trying the troubleshooting in this article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Printing from Vista to printer connected to iMac

Wireless network (2Wire router) setup with Vista PC, NEW GREAT iMac intel pc (OS X 10.4, and Windows XP Pro pc. Epson Stylus CX3200 connected to iMac. Can print from iMac, print from XP laptop via network (after using Bonjour), but can't get very far with Vista laptop. Understand no Bonjour for Vista.
Does anyone know how to resolve this dilemma....I am new to Mac, so be kind. Much thanks in advance.

I just learned that Mac's printer is shown to network as a *PostScript printer* regardless of its type. The guide http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html (for Windows XP) tells how you have to define your printer's name. But you must select a driver for a Apple printer (b/w of color matching yours), don't use the printer's native driver (unless it is a PS printer).
There is no Apple drivers available in my Vista Premium. But fortunately PostScript is well standardized and you can select from any of PS-drivers. i took +HP Color LaserJet 4700 PS+ and now my +Epson Stylus Photo 870+ works fine!

Printer connected to airport extreme very slow to print but when printer connected to iMac it is very quick to print

Early version of Airport Extreme station, 802.11g, saucer shaped model. iMac wirelessly connected to internet via space station and modem and Canon MX700 printer connected directly to Airport space station and also printing wirelessly. When try to print wirelessly, it takes about 1' 10" before printing starts. When the printer is connected directly to the computer, printing starts almost instantaneously. Because of internet disconnect which occurred occasionaly, reset the Airport station and so far no internet disconnect problem but the printer is slow to start printing. Printer software current but now have the slow printing problem. I think I have set up the printer properly but do not know why it takes so long to start printing but so quickly when the printer is connected directly to the computer.

I know my post may be late, anyway I hope I can help.
The one main reason I can think of that ethernet is preferable to USB is who wants to run 20 or more feet of USB to network a printer. The cost of the USB cable would make it cost prohibitive. The Airport or generally any router/hub is not always nearby the network output devices. However small office/home setups where the devices and router are within a small area, reachable by USB, then your point is valid.
In any case, don't expect any help from AppleCare to assist you with the settings on the Airport side, Apple doesn't support connecting printers via ethernet . . . pretty lame response. I am really disappointed with the response and very shortsighted.
On the printer side, you need to set a static IP for the printer . . . one within your internal LAN IP numbers.
Before proceeding you will need the MAC address or Machine Address or Ethernet Address, it should look be a series of that will look like 12:32:00:00:21:02. If you print out your printer config page you should be able to find it.
From the Airport app, choose the Internet tab(icon) on the top of the window, then choose DHCP then hit the + key under the DHCP Reservations window. This will open up a series of windows, provide a description of the device, reserve by Mac Address>click continue> type in the Mac Address in the window, and then the IP address that will be static or reserved for only the printer.>Click Done.>Click Update> Router will reboot.
You will need to go to Printer Setup to make sure you have a printer looking for that IP address, and will need to do this on each workstation.
My experience with other brand routers are that they don't require the Mac Address, which caused the delay in figuring this out on my own, (a few hours) but it is working now . . . WHEW!

Cannot get ipad to print to HP Deskjet 3050a since loading latest ISO. Any ideas, desperately need document!

Cannot print from my iPad, need the document now! Loaded latest iOS and it won't now print to HP Deskjet 3050a which has printed up til today! Help!

Hello there, Pamayo54.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some troubleshooting steps for AirPrint issues:
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
Particularly:
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.Notes:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How do I get iPad to print to epson wireless printer?

I've attemted to print from my ipad to my Epson Artisan 810 without success. I downloaded an app from Epson and it does communicate with my iPad giving ink info etc. any suggestions?

That printer isn't on the Apple's supported Airprint list. It isn't on the Epson list either.
Maybe you can use the Epson iPrint app or some other app.

Cannot print to printer connected to iMac

I have 3 computers on my network. My printer is connected (via usb) to my new iMac. I successfully (and easily) connected my desktop PC (running Windows XP)to the printer using Bonjour. But I downloaded Bonjour on my laptop (running windows XP) and when I run Bonjour it says "No Bonjour Printers are available" I can successfully "see" the shared files on the iMac but cannot connect to its a printer.
Help!

Sorry, misunderstanding. I have not been able to print from my iOS devices on my Win7 network. Hence my move to purchase an iMac to try to create a homogenious environment. I'd thought I'd read somewhere that I could print to "Mac shared printers...". My previous reference to "printing on my Win7 network.." was referring to my ability to share printers on Win7 machines and print from any Windows based computer on my network. No success as of yet printing on either Win7 nor Apple OS networks.
So my search continues for a solution to print from my iPad on my network [wirelessly of course].
I just made an assumption based on some readying that if I purchased an iMac and shared my printer(s), my iOS printing issues would be resolved, and I'd have a nice new computer for my family to use. So far 1 out of 2 objectives met.

HP Printer Connected to iMac--MacBook Can't Find It

Despite numerous attempts we can't figure out how to get my daughter's MacBook to locate our workhorse HP Laserjet 1300 printer, which is connected by USB cable directly to my iMac. Ours is a wired and wireless network; my daughter connects wirelessly. She used to be able to access the old HP. It stopped working after we installed Mountain Lion on all of our machines. Yes, I know that ML doesn't support this printer, so we use a generic print driver which, for our simple purposes, prints fine. I cannot seem to get her MacBook to locate the HP connected to mine.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for this. I can't try your suggestion now as my daughter had the nerve to make off with her MacBook for the day. One quesiton: Does the procedure you've described require that I establish for my iMac (the "server") a static IP address?
I've got no problem doing so, but I can imagine that dynamic IPs could mess up printing for her in the future.
If I need to establish a static IP for my iMac, how do I go about it?
Thanks Greg.
