IPad won't recognise Mg8250 as an air printer

When I try to print wirelessly from iPad it comes back with the message "no air printer found" Is there something I need to do with the printer to make this happen.
I should probably first give a bit of background to my situation which may or may not be helpful, As well as the iPad i have a Windows 7 PC, which is wired both to the router and the printer, and a windows 8.1 laptop which has a wireless link to the same router.Wireless printing from the laptop is not a problem and works absolutely fine. Initially I thought this printer link was via the Homegroup which i had set up but, never really used apart from printing. But, following the re-install of Windows on the PC, I could not get Homegroup set up so currently neither laptop nor PC is a member of a homegroup but wireless printing from the laptop still works. So i have to conlude that the set-up is not (and probably never was) linked to Homegroups
The ipad is on the same wireless network as the laptop and the wired PC
Any ideas?
Solved!

Do you have this firmware update?

My iPad won't recognise my air printer, it is connected as I checked by typing in IP address into Safari, but when I try to print it just says cannot find any air printers.

my Ipad won't recognise my printer. It is connected as I have typed the IP address into Safari which confirms connectivity. Spoken with canon who suggest it it is a problem with IOS not recognising the functionality. When I try to print it says cannot find any air printers. Printer is working via LAN set up on my laptop. Don't want to have to spend £25 to speak to an apple support team. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Printer is a canon MG 3250.

A few things you could try:
Reboot your modem/router.
Turn your printer off then on again & make sure it's connected to the network.
Reboot your iPad holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears then release & let the iPad boot up normally.
Try going into Settings on your iPad & select General->Reset->Reset Network Settings.
Also, have a look at this:

Can I print a image larger than 4x6 directly from iPad's photo application to a HP Air Print printer without a additional app?

It depends upon the capabilities of your printer. If you have an HP printer with a photo tray then the Photo app will print to whatever size you load in to that tray.
There's some more information here:
Using AirPrint to Print Various Photo Sizes
With other printers the user is given a choice from the printer's loaded paper sizes. You can see an example of that here:

Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available. Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
Next restart the printer and the Router.
I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

I have just had a replacement IPad as the camera stopped working. Now the new iPad won't recognise my aol e mail for face time as well as my apple id. I have tried adding as a second e mail, but it says already in use

I have just had a replacement iPad as the camera stopped working.
Now the new iPad won't receive FaceTime calls at my aol.com email.
If I try to add it as a FaceTime address it just says email address already in use.
I guess it is still linked to the old iPad in some way
Any suggestions? The old I pad is wiped and back in the store

This Apple article should be able to help ya out -> iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'

Ipad can no longer find my HP air printer although was perfectly fine before. Have tried turning both printer and ipad off and on - no joy. Printer says that it is connected to my wifi.

Just returned from holiday and my ipad can no longer detect my air printer, although working fine prior to that.
Have tried switching both off and on again - no luck.
The printer says that it's connected to my wifi as does the ipad.
Would appreciate any suggestions as I have found it very frustrating trying to get any help from the HP support sites.
Thank you

You're welcome. It's amazing how many problems can be sorted out simply by restarting ALL devices involved. That's my first troubleshooting step when I have issues like that - restart everything and try again.
I'm glad that it worked for you.

HT4356 all of a sudden I cannot air print from my ipad or iphone - I can still print from my laptop - don't know how to fix

I can still air print from my Dell laptop

Hello rcappel,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when printing from your iPhone and iPad. I found a couple of resources I recommend for the issue you described.
First, I recommend following these steps:
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.
You can find the full article here:
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
If you are still having trouble printing after following those steps, I recommend these steps:
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

I am unable to connect to my apple ipad 3G, Canon MX455 Air Printer and My3 dongle

I need help to connect my apple ipad 3G and a new Canon MX455 Air Printer to my wifi. I am using a MY3 dongle. Although the printer looks for, and finds the wifi signal,it will not lock on.
All help is appreciated
MickMick

it's very very very unclear what you are trying to do
ios devices will only print native to printers which support airprint
if the printer does not support this std then one need a printing app from app store to print
ios devices can not use usb dongles in any way
ios devices can't make a hotspot which wifi printers can get network from

Tried to print from ipad4 with wifi printer. Saying can't find air printer. Printer on and it has printed previously.

Tried to print from my ipad 4 but saying can't find air printer. It has printed before.

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.

HT204053 Since upgrade to the latest version of the iPad system, my iPad does not recognise the password for iCloud and won't let me access it to change it

Since the last upgrade on the iPad system, I have not been able to log in with my password to iCloud. I have changed my Apple ID and password to see if this would help but no it hasn't made any difference and every time I go into my emails the log in screen keeps popping up with the old username and the sign in it won't recognise. Please could someone tell me in easy steps how to alter this?

Hi Susie. If you don't remember the password to the apple id with which you have logged into icloud then you need to reset the password at iforgot.apple.com. Put in that old apple id and if you have access to that email you can have a link sent to it to reset your password. If you don't have access to it then you can choose to answer security questions. If you can't answer the security questions properly then you need to go to expresslane.apple.com and tollow the prompts for apple id issues/can't answer security questions and if you put in your contact information Apple will call you immediately and you can talk to someone who can help you reset that password.

HELP NEEDED! My wife's 5c won't recognise on my laptop anymore. I plug it in and the laptop makes a sound but won't show up the phone. I only recently discovered this problem when I upgraded. It will recognise my 5c and even the iPad but not her 5c

I discovered this problem when I upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5c.
My laptop will recognise my 5c and even the wife's iPad but won't recognuse her 5c, when I plug it in it makes a sound but just doesn't show up in iTunes.
It DID work on my laptop as recently as November when I backed up her phone and updated her software but like I say ever since I upgraded it just won't recognise her 5c but does mine.
I just can't think what is wrong? I haven't messed around with anything on the laptop or messed around with the wife's settings on her 5c
HELP!!!!

I would test with another computer and another cable
if it the device would not be detected by any computer I
would say that it's connector was broken

I just upgraded my ipad 2 on apple's advice now can't do the back-up on my now-empty ipad! itunes won't recognise my password! help help

Just for information in case helps anyone else, I have now accessed the back-up, I tried a different password from memory but it is not the normal iTunes password I use - which is what you'd expect them to be after. Now I don't know how to get the app collection back onto the screen, they aren't opening. Wish I never had upgraded...

My iPad won't connect to my iPad mini. The speaker works fine on my MacBook Air. Help!

Help!
I've been trying to get my Sony SRS-BT5 bluetooth speaker to connect to my iPad mini and the iPad won't recognize it. It doesn't show up on the list of devices when bluetooth is searching. I've tried restarting both devices dozens of times. I've tried it normally, when they are charging, and when they are fully charged. I've tried it with the NFC turned on and turned off. I've searched Sony's site and can't find any troubleshooting information. Although, because the speaker works just fine with my MacBook Air, I think it's a problem with my iPad.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Although it might not help, it would not hurt to reset the iPad by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears (15-20 sec).
