If you change [Printer Name] that you have once specified, you may be unable to print any more from the Mac that has been able to be used for printing so far. This phenomenon occurs because [mDNS Name] (Configuring DNS) of IPv4 is also changed automatically. In this case, add the machine to the Mac again. Entering the printer name makes it easier to identify multiple printers that support AirPrint. |
