I set up the printer some time ago but my husband now wants to print from his Mac notebook and requires the password which I do not have. How can I find out what the password is please?

Hi,

 

If you are connecting via wifi direct, you can get the password by holding down  the wifi direct button on the printer control panel for 3 seconds or more and it should print off.  If you connect via wifi direct, when you open your wifi settings on the ipad you'll be connecting to a network with the printer name incorporated into the wifi network name (and the wifi direct button will need to be turned on from the printer front panel).

 

If you're connecting via your home wifi router,  your wifi password should be printer on your router somewhere.
