# Mac Airprint

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 facilitate printing, either on AirPrint-compatible printers or non-compatible shared printers, using a computer running macOS, Windows or Linux.

**Note**

- AirPrint-capable printers will **only** appear in *System Settings > Printers* if they are **reachable** on your network (for example, on the same Wi-Fi).
- If an AirPrint printer is **not** detected, it will **not** appear in the printer list at all.
- When the printer is reachable, go to *System Settings (or System Preferences) > Printers*, click **Add Printer**, and select the AirPrint-capable printer.
- Once added, you can print immediately via AirPrint.
