Printing using an iOS Device

Please note: The following screenshots have been taken using an iPhone running iOS12.3.1. The layout may differ very slightly from your display depending on your device and the version of iOS you have installed; however, the functionality will essentially be the same.

Check that your Canon PIXMA printer is turned on and connected to the same wireless network (sometimes referred to as WLAN) as your Apple device.
Please view our PIXMA wireless connection setup guides for assistance in connecting your PIXMA printer.
From an app on your device, tap either [ , or ] (depending the version of iOS you have installed) to display the menu options, and then scroll across & tap on the [Print] icon.
From [Printer Options] select the PIXMA model that you want to use.
(In this example, we will use the TS9100 series).

Please note: Ensure that you are within range of your printer. All AirPrint-enabled printers within range will be displayed.
Select the number of copies you require & tap [Options] if you want to change double-sided prints, colour settings etc.
When ready, tap [Print] to start printing.

Important:

Some apps do not support AirPrint and some printer options may not be displayed. If an app does not let you access the printer options, you cannot print from that app.

Please note:

Printer options can differ depending on the app and printer you are using. Normally, when you tap print and select a model name, the displayed printer options will include up to the following four options:

Printer: Select a model that can be used on your wireless network or WLAN
Copies: Select the number of print copies
Double-sided Printing: If the model supports double-sided printing, you can select On or Off
Range: The page range can be used only with specific apps and file types (such as PDF files)
Colour: Select [Black & White] to enable monochrome printing.
Paper Size: For PIXMA models launched before the second half of 2016, the paper size is selected automatically according to the app being used on the Apple device and the region in which AirPrint is used.
When Apple's photo app is used, the default paper size 4"x6" or KG.
When documents are printed from Apple's Safari browser, the default paper size in Europe is A4.
For printers released after 2016, the paper size directly set on the printer (using the operation panel) is used.

Important:
Your app may support different paper sizes

If the Bonjour service on the printer is disabled, AirPrint cannot be used. The Bonjour service is enabled as default from the factory, so should be enabled unless you have previously made changes to it. You can check the status of the Bonjour service on your printer by printing out the network settings information. The procedure for doing this will vary depending on your model, please refer to your user manual for instructions. If you do not have the user manual, you can download one by selecting your product from the PIXMA range page.

Some older PIXMA models may require a firmware upgrade before supporting AirPrint. Please ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. For details on how to update the firmware, please refer to the user manual for your product. If you do not have the user manual, you can download one by selecting your product from the PIXMA range page.

If the document does not print, please check the following:

Check that the printer is connected to the same wireless network (or WLAN) as the iOS device. Please view our PIXMA wireless connection setup guides for assistance in connecting your PIXMA printer.
Check that the printer has enough paper and ink.
If your printer has an LCD monitor, check that no error code/message is displayed. If an error code/message is displayed please view our PIXMA error codes and messages page.
If the problem persists, try using a computer to execute printing and check whether the document can be printed normally on the printer. If the document cannot be printed, refer to the user manual for your model.
