I am still unable to find Canon MG3120 airprint printer from my ipad3, although I can wirelessly print from desktop PC and laptop. I updated mg3120 with firmware version 2. What else can I do for finding the printer? Max
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1
wireless printing and airprinting is different. review this article
From AirPrint Basics site and clicking Canon, I confirmed MG3120 is listed as AirPrint capable printer. But my ipad3 says No AirPrintable printer found when I tap PRINT button. It is a great puzzle. Is Canon lying?
are they both on the same network
I have only one wifi network at my home using ASUS router RT-N12. My PC and laptop can communicate with MG3120 printer wirelessly. I have three other printers connected to my DellXPS8300 with USB cables(hp officejet 5500, Epson 1400, Canon PIXMA iP5200). They work fine. My iPad3 uses the same wifi network. I am writing this message on my iPad using the same wifi network. However, My iPad does not recognize MG3120.
Perhaps the router is blocking ports the iPad needs to use AirPrint.
AirPrint Activator requires TCP open on port 19631.

Thank you for your hint of router problem. I solved my problem by upgrading ASUS RT-N12 Utilities program for Windows 7. The router was originally set up for Windows XP. I did not need AirPrint activator because MG3120 is already compatible for AirPrint. I hope my finding will help many other MG3120 and wireless router users who have difficulty in finding air airprinters. Max

From reading this thread, it looks like they resolved their problem 4 years ago.
