Hi vishnukamat,


If you have issues using an AirPrint printer from your iPad, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -


About AirPrint

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356


Specifically -


If you're unable to print

Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."

  1. Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
  2. Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
  3. Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
  4. Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
  5. Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


Best,

This could be a longshot because mine is an epson printer, but I experienced the same thing. It's an airprint model but neither my ipad or iPod were seeing it.

Do you have a computer that your normally print from? In my case, I have a laptop that I print to wirelessly. Once I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software on my laptop it started to work with my ipad an iPod as well.


If the other troubleshooting doesn't work you could always try that.
