Hi Tim,
Hoping for a few more tips.
I followed the directions and went to System prefs and selected printers and I
checked the share check box.
But when we go to the print button on a iOS device under print it says select
printer but nothing shows up.
Any next steps?
I did restart both the computer, printer, and iOS Device.
