    I could print just fine from all my iphones and ipads...but the iphone 5 wouldn't see my printer.  Found another thread....and the solution was to reboot my router...really? that simple? 

     

    Worked like a charm...no explaination.  But who cares.

    Is your printer connected to Wi-Fi already? If so go to the document and there should be an option key click print and it will pick up the printers on your network. Select the one that you would like to use and click print and it should print.

    You need to look at the link that Peter provided earlier in this thread, but I will post it again. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 The printer needs to be AirPrint compatable, needs to be connected to the same wifi network as the phone and cannot be connected to the computer by wire. Read the support document.

    Either the support document cited above is in error or (more likely) has just not been updated for IOS 8.

    It states that:

    • AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of an Apple AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule are not supported with AirPrint. Connect your AirPrint printer to your network using Wi-Fi, or connect it to a LAN port on your AirPort device using Ethernet.

    I have an early HP LaserJet P1102w and found that it can be set up to work wirelessly even if it is connected by USB to either a MAC or Airport/Time Capsule.

    The trick is to install it each way and label each in the system preferences accordingly,  (a separate icon for each version)

    Examples: the wireless  HP P1102 - Air Print, the USB cabled HP P1102w - USB, and the Airport/TC HP P1102w - Airport (or TC or LAN name)

    My iPhone 5s also found the HP1102w using AirPrint.

    Additionally the wireless printer connection will display the printer Options and Supplies just like the USB wired connection -- the Airport/TC connection will not.

    So even if you use the USB/Airport/TC route, you can still quickly switch to the wireless or USB to check the toner (or ink)

    Hope some find this useful.

     

    Equip:

    HP P1102w (with latest firmware update from HP)

    MacbookPro & Macbook Pro Retina (both running OSX 10.9.5 - Mavericks)

    TimeCapsule (latest Airport Utility & Firmware)

    iPhone 5s ( iOS 8.0.2)

    I cannot discuss connections to Mac computers since I do not use one and am not familiar. The best advice to give people when they are completely unfamiliar with AirPrint is to guide them to the support document. Many of those trying to use it do not even have supported printers.

    It would be a good idea for you to start your own thread in an appropriate forum, depending on the device you are attempting to connect the printer to. I saw this because I had contributed to the thread that was started 4-years ago.

     

    You will get much better attention to a new thread with a better explanation of your problem, identifying the printer you are trying to content and what device you are trying to connect it to.
