AirPrint
You can use AirPrint to print wirelessly to:
•
An AirPrint-enabled printer on your Wi-Fi network
•
A network printer or printer shared by another Mac on your Wi-Fi network
•
A printer connected to the USB port of an AirPort base station
Print to an AirPrint printer. When you print from an app, click the Printer pop-up menu in the
Print dialog, then choose a printer in the Nearby Printers list.
Can’t nd the printer you’re looking for? Make sure it’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network
as your MacBook. If it’s connected and you still don’t see it, try adding it: Click the System
Preferences icon in the Dock, click Printers & Scanners, then click Add . (You may have to
temporarily connect the printer to your MacBook using a USB cable and a USB-C to USB adapter.)
For a list of AirPrint-enabled printers and other supported printers, see support.apple.com/HT201311
and support.apple.com/HT201465.
To learn more about AirPrint, go to Mac Help (see Get answers in Mac Help).
AirPlay
Show whatever’s on your MacBook screen on the big screen using AirPlay Mirroring. If your HDTV
is connected to Apple TV, and the Apple TV is on the same Wi-Fi network as your MacBook, you
can mirror the MacBook screen on your TV screen or use the HDTV as a second display. You can
also play some web videos directly on your HDTV without showing what’s on your desktop—
handy when you want to play a movie but keep your work private.
Mirror your MacBook desktop using AirPlay Mirroring. Click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar,
then choose your Apple TV. When an AirPlay display is active, the icon turns blue.
In some cases, you can use an AirPlay display even if your MacBook isn’t on the same Wi-Fi
network as Apple TV (called peer-to-peer AirPlay). To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, you need an
Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later.
