Q: Why can I see my Epson printer on my iphone but not on my ipad iOS 6?

I am able to view and print to my wireless Epson Workforce 645 on my home wireless network but cannot view the printer on my iPad iOS 6.1.2. What is different about the iPad connection?

    Reboot your iPad.

    I believe that my iPad rebooted when I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2, which I did after first trying to print yesterday, so that did not resolve the issue.

     

    I don't recall how my iPhone connected at first, but I believe that I just selected 'Print' on my iPhone 5 and it 'saw' the printer. Same with my wife's iPhone 4S. Not the case with either of our new iPads here. I can't imagine I would have to add a piece of software to make this work.

     

    i did try turning off Bluetooth, which I read somewhere. That didn't do the trick either.

    I have Borther JD6510 printer. I have a number of devices (ipads and iphones) running IOS5.1.x and airprinting works fine. The other devices running IOS6.x.x (iphones and ipads also) are responding with "No Airport Printer Found".

    Seems to me to be related to eh version of IOS??
