AirPrint not finding printer

SimonBS · Sep 23, 2010, 10:16 AM

Hi,

I have been trying to make AirPrint work on my iPad but I just can't figure out, what's wrong. My Brother DCP-770CW does not show up when searching for printers.

It's a wireless printer and I have shared it through my Macbook Pro. Are there any ideas on what can be wrong?

Are you on 10.6.5 Beta?

Ohh.... No, I'm not. Didn't know that was necessary

Yeap, sadly you need the new Bonjour drivers or something like that. They are included in 10.6.5.

I suspect it's much harder if not impossible to download 10.6.5 developer build without being a developer, unlike downloading 4.2 beta on iPad isn't too difficult. Though I don't know, is this correct?
