Problems with Airprint

Hi, I’m having problems printing from my iPhone 12 Pro Max. It worked fine last week but not this week. The phone is finding the printer and it appears when I have to select printer but when I try to print it keeps saying “Printer is offline”. However my printer prints fine from my Mac. Any advice please?

All AirPrint requires is that the printer does support this feature and that both devices (iPhone and printer) are connected to the same Wifi Network.


Restart your router, printer and iPhone. Then make sure printer and iPhone are on the same WiFi Network.

Mac, beside AirPrint, does allow to use Network Printing (also know as Printing over IP) which utilities different protocol.
