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 find the printer you’re looking for? Make sure it’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network
as your MacBook Pro. 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 Pro using a USB cable.)
For a list of AirPrint-enabled printers and other supported printers, see the Apple Support articles
To learn more about AirPrint, go to Mac Help (see
).
AirPlay
Show whatever’s on your MacBook Pro on the big screen using AirPlay Mirroring. To mirror
the MacBook Pro screen on your TV screen or to use the HDTV as a second display, connect
your HDTV to Apple TV and make sure the Apple TV is on the same Wi-Fi network as your
MacBook Pro. You can also play 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 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 Pro 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.
