The thing to do next is to “reset the printing system.” That gives you a fresh start, and in my experience, resetting the printing system ALWAYS solves the problem, allowing the printer software to be downloaded successfully from Apple. Never, that is, unless you know what to do next. Usually the failure happens when getting the software from Apple: everything seems to be proceeding apace when all of a sudden, during the download, a message pops up saying something about the software not being available, and to “Please try again later.” Try later all you want, but once you see that message it is NEVER going to work.
#Install a printer to a mac for airprint for mac
Apple long ago tired of waiting for printer manufacturers to provide software compatible with each new version of OS X, so they started doing it themselves, and on the whole this has been a good thing for Mac users. I got the printing to work from a Windows machine and a Mac on the guest network. Rather, the instructions say, get the software from Apple, and indeed that is excellent advice.
Turn on the printer and make sure that it is in a ready state. Many printers from Epson, Canon and Hewlett-Packard come with instructions to NOT install the software that comes with them on CDs. If the printer is connected via USB to a Mac computer, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule, try using the software created for the printer found in Apple Software Update instead of AirPrint.
