AirPrint is a feature in Apple Inc.'s macOS and iOS operating systems for printing without installing printer-specific drivers.. Connection is via a local area network (often via Wi-Fi), [1] [2] either directly to AirPrint-compatible printers, or to non-compatible shared printers by way of a computer running Microsoft Windows, Linux, [3] or macOS.
A printing protocol is a protocol for communication between client devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) and printers (or print servers).It allows clients to submit one or more print jobs to the printer or print server, and perform tasks such as querying the status of a printer, obtaining the status of print jobs, or cancelling individual print jobs.
Products using the Internet Printing Protocol include Universal Print from Microsoft, [23] CUPS (which is part of Apple macOS and many BSD and Linux distributions and is the reference implementation for most versions of IPP [24]), Novell iPrint, and Microsoft Windows versions starting from MS Windows 2000.

Apple AirPrint begins when the user selects the Action button and chooses the Print option. Apple AirPrint searches the network for available printers using the mDNS network protocol.
