Normally, if the printer is connected to the wireless or wired (ethernet) network, then the iOS device should automatically detect the printer and no additional setup is required. To print via Wi-Fi, make sure that the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch has an active internet connection, and that the printer's AirPrint name is selected from Wi-Fi network list. Or, to print directly to the printer instead of Wi-Fi, make sure Wireless Direct is configured on the printer.
