IPHONE 12 will not let me print cannot find the device

There is no Printer option in Settings.

AirPrint compatible printers should directly appear in the Print option within the App you want to print from. Normally under the "Share" icon.

See here: link-> Use AirPrint to print from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If its a networked / Wi-Fi printer, in many cases the manufacturer will have a Print App you can download to your iPhone, and use that to print.

Otherwise, you would need to get some type of Airprint enabling software on a computer and use that to make the printer available to your iPhone.
