AirPrint is a new technology developed by Apple Inc. that allows you to get high-quality prints from your iOS devices without having to install additional drivers or software. To use AirPrint, your iOS device or Mac should be connected to the same WiFi network as the compatible printer. To print from your iOS device, you just need to select the AirPrint printer from your app. Many printers have inbuilt AirPrint support. Below are the top 2 printers which are compatible with AirPrint technology

HP Office jet Pro X551dw Printer

This multi-function printer is an inkjet printer that is a perfect candidate to handle small and medium types of printing jobs in small offices. It features a 500 sheet drawer and a 50-sheet multi-purpose tray. The X551dw has a duplexer feature for double-sided printing. You can connect the X551dw to a WiFi hotspot and connect your iOS device to the same WiFi network and give the print command by opening the app from which you want to print. It’s that simple.

Brother MFC-J4710DW

A multi-function device that can print as well as scan, the Brother MFC-J4710DW printer has two 250-sheet paper drawers which can be loaded with different sized sheets of paper. The scanner can scan both sides of a document at one time which can be a great time-saver. It also supports duplex printing, that is, you can print on both sides of the paper. The Brother MFC-J4710DW printer shows up as an AirPrint printer on your iOS device and you can easily print from the app on your iOS device.

Though the compatible printers are expected to work out of the box without installing additional drivers, sometimes the iOS device throws up an error like “No AirPrint Printers Found”. If you see such an error, here are troubleshooting steps to follow:
