Printing Problems

[Caran]

We are having problems printing. We bought a new printer. After trial and error I was able to print on my iPad. Today I can't. It cannot detect a printer. When I go on settings there is no mention of a printer anywhere. Can anyone help please.

Does the printer support AirPrint?

Is your printer connected to your router's wi-fi network?

Is your iPad connected to your router's wi-fi network?

Yes to all those Chris.

What sort of printer is it and what OS are you using ?

Caran sometimes my wireless printer goes into a sleep mode if it has not been used for a few days. When I try to print, nothing. But if it is switched of and on it fires back up. Faint hope I am sure you will have tried that anyway.

OH upgraded to Windows 10. He had loads of problems and restored to Windows 7. I don't know what happened but then suddenly everyone could print
It was almost like he was blocking the AirPrint. So everyone happy now. Thanks for your input.
