AirPrint Message not found on iOS

To troubleshoot this issue, turn off the WiFi on your Apple device. Then check the network status and restart your printer. If there is a network issue, disconnect and reconnect the network option. Hopefully, the AirPrint will be available on your printer.

Tips While Working with 123 HP Officejet Pro 8170

To avoid any serious issue during printing from your HP Officejet Pro 8170 printer, follow these simple tips:

Always use genuine HP branded cartridge and printer peripherals. 

We also advise you to use smooth and good quality paper to experience enhanced quality printouts. 

When you perform any delicate task like cleaning the printer nozzle, printer heads, etc., always use a thin piece of cloth. Moreover, do these types of tasks very carefully and especially under the guidance of an expert. 

The components inside the printer are very delicate, so handle them with care. If you accidentally damage them, it will be very much expensive to replace it with a new one.
