Q: no airprint printers found

Unable to use my printer on my wifi at the house. I've checked to ensure all are on the same network, updated the latest firmware, and everything else I have seen from the HP site and the apple sites. Any help or suggestions? I am getting the "No Airprint Printers Found" error message on my iPad 4 and the iPhone 5 when attempting to print anything. My PC that shares the same wifi can print without any issues. Thanks up front!

 

HP Deskjet 3050a J611g

Belkin router N600DB

iPad, iOS 7

    Often when the No Airprint Printers Found message happens, the Router Firmware needs to be updated.  Check for an update for your Belkin router and if there is an update, it will likely solve the problem.

    From everything I can fnd this router, despite upgrades, does not handle Bonjour packets correctly so you probably won't be able to get it to work.

    Setup a typical HP AirPrint Printer

     

     

    1. Insert the CD into the CD drive of the computer, and then wait a few seconds for the software installer to start.

     

     

    2. Accept the installation agreements, and then click Next . It might take several minutes for your computer to install the printer software.

     

     

    3. You will be asked to connect printer to computer with USB cable

     

     

    4. You will be ask how you want to connect to printer, select Network (Ethernet/Wireless) and then click Next.

     

     

    5. Setup will access computer and router for wireless settings.

     

     

    6. Setup will ask if you want to use wireless settings (SSID and Password) to setup printer. Select Yes and press Next.

     

     

    7. Setup will then send wireless settings to printer.

     

     

    8. Once printer is setup, you will be ask to remove USB cable.

     

     

    9. The printer is now ready for AirPrint.
