Check Connections on Your Printer If you haven't checked already, make sure you refer to Apple's AirPrint guide to verify that your printer is AirPrint compatible. Next, check your printer's Wi-Fi connection, and ensure that your printer and your iPhone or iPad are connected to the same wireless network.
Check the printer connection status: Make sure the wireless signal is on, and the printer is connected to the same network as your computer or mobile device. If your printer has a light next to a Wireless icon or button , make sure the light is on. If it is off or blinks, the printer is disconnected from the network.
Confirm the settings of your Apple mobile device.
Is Wi-Fi connection settings ON? The AirPrint cannot be used on a cellular data network (4G/3G/E/LTE) connection. Your Apple mobile device must be connected to your wireless network. Therefore turn the Wi-Fi ON.
