If your printer isn't AirPrint-enabled

  1. If your printer is connected to your Mac with a cable, disconnect the cable from your Mac.
  2. Turn off your printer.
  3. Get software updates for your Mac. Your Mac automatically downloads the latest software for most printers as part of these updates, so it's best not to install software from the printer manufacturer.
  4. Reconnect your printer to your Mac, if applicable.
  5. Turn on your printer and wait for it to finish starting up.

  2. The Printers folder opens. Choose Edit > Select All, which selects all items in the Printers folder.

If the issue continues, contact the printer manufacturer for support.

1. In corporate environments, DNS records can be configured to allow AirPrint-enabled printers to appear across other networks instead of just the network used by the device you're printing from. You can also use configuration profiles in iOS to set up AirPrint printers.

2. Firmware updates—such as for AirPort base stations—update the software on the printer or router, not the software on your Mac or iOS device. If the latest firmware from the manufacturer is several years old, the manufacturer might have stopped supporting or updating your device. If so, you might need a more up-to-date printer or router.

1.My document background doesn't print.

Microsoft Word Doesn't Print Machine

Document backgrounds are designed to be viewed on the screen and not printed. The background that you create by using the Background command on the Format menu will not print. To add a printable background, borders, or shading to your page, use the Printed Watermark command (by pointing to Background on the Format menu) or the Borders and Shading command on the Format menu.

2.My document background is not displayed.

Microsoft Word displays document backgrounds in Web layout view only. To switch to Web layout view, click Web Layout on the View menu. If you want Word to display your document in Web layout view the next time the document is opened, save your document in this view before you close it.

Thanks A bunch Guys =)
