neither your Mac nor any other device on the network is using AirPrint. Since Apple never included AirPrint App to support a non-airprint printer. Other manufacturers have managed this marvel. Apple never included AirPrint in the airport routers. The reason AirPrint does not work is the Express is NOT an AirPrint device. It is an Airplay device and serves the network. The reason airplay works is that is a function of the Express. It is a Print Server where the drivers must be used on your computer or device. the Express is NOT an AirPrint Print Server. There is no way you can AirPrint to a printer that does not support it. The Mac is not using AirPrint to the Epson printer. If AirPrint would not work from my MacBook (with my Epson + AirPort Express) I would not do big deal because of this - but it WORKS. Thus, the logical solution for a non-AirPrint SX435 seems to be either a third-party app on your computer, as Bob Timmons suggested, or Epson's iPrint app on the iPhone. * AirPrint works with Wi-Fi or wired network connections. AirPrint devices connected to the USB port of an Apple AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule, or to your computer using Bluetooth connection, can’t use AirPrint.Ī totally different and special matter is that a few USB devices apparently are supported in connection with Mac computers (see USB-only devices in the About AirPrint article). Unfortunately, the Epson Stylus SX435 is not an AirPrint printer.Įven if the Stylus SX435 had been an AirPrint printer, it looks like a note in the article Use AirPrint to print from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support would have ruled out AirPrint via a USB connection to an AirPort base station: The following article contains a list of AirPrint-enabled printers. AirPrint is a technology that does not require downloading and installing drivers.
