AirPrint Setup Guide for macOS

Prerequisite:
Ensure your Mac and printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network/subnet.
(Tip: Print the printer’s self-check page to verify its current network connection.)

Note:

  • No additional driver is required – macOS includes built-in AirPrint support. Simply ensure your printer is connected to the same network with your mac.


Step 1: Add the Printer to Your Mac

  1. Open System Settings (or System Preferences on macOS 12 or earlier).

  2. Navigate to Printers & Scanners > Click the + (Add) button at the bottom left.

  3. Wait for your printer (e.g., "FlashLabel Y486AP") to appear in the list.

  4. Select the printer and click Add.


Step 2: Print a Document

  1. Open the file you wish to print.

  2. Press Command + P or go to File > Print in the application menu.

  3. In the print dialog:

    • Select FlashLabel Y486AP from the printer dropdown.

    • Adjust settings if needed, then click Print.


Troubleshooting Tips:

  • If the printer isn’t listed, restart both the printer and Mac, and recheck the network connection.
