# AirPrint

Last updated: August 14, 2026

This page explains how to configure AirPrint profiles in MDM for iOS devices running iOS 7.0 or later. AirPrint enables wireless printing of documents and images directly from iOS devices—without requiring any additional apps—using Wi-Fi to connect to AirPrint-compatible printers or shared printers running macOS, Windows, or Linux. The profile settings covered include the printer's host name or IP address, resource path, port number, and the option to secure connections using Transport Layer Security (TLS), with port and TLS options available on iOS 11 and later.

AirPrint lets you print documents, images etc., from your device, without requiring any special app to be installed on the device. AirPrint uses Wi-Fi to faciliate printing, either on AirPrint-compatible printers or non-compatible shared printers, using a computer running macOS, Windows or Linux. It is applicable for devices running **iOS 7.0 or later versions**. To know more about AirPrint, refer to [this](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311).
