My iphone cannot find my AirPrint printer

About AirPrint - Apple Support

Good evening, I created an account on the community forum in order to tell you how to fix the dreaded "No AirPrint printers found" error. I dont think I should but unfortunately, there is someone in my circle who decided to buy Apple products for his office.

So this is how it goes :

1- Go physically to your printer.

2- Open the menu on your printer and go in the network settings

3- Go into the TCP/IP settings

4- Select IPv6 and enable it. This is disabled by default on most printers.

5- Go into your router using the address 192.168.0.1 or whichever address your router uses to be accessed.

6- The default password for most routers is : password or admin

7- Select Advanced settings

8- Select Network settings or wireless settings depending on the model of router you have

9- Select IPv6.

10- Enable IPv6. (Most routers have IPv6 disabled which might explain why your printer stopped working after buying a new router)

11- Select DHCP server

12- Enable DHCP server(Most routers have this option disabled by default)

13- Save the settings

14- Turn off your router.

15- Turn off your printer

15- Turn on your router

15- Turn on your printer

16- At this point your printer might of forgot the wireless settings so you will need to connect your printer to the wifi again.

17- Go on your apple device and try to print.

At this point, you might be saying: "but dude, I never had to do any of this with my old router". That is because router manufacturers use the most secure settings as default. Not going to lie, I do not suggest following this procedure if you manage a company and sensitive data.
