How to Fix common issues on Printio

What you’ll fix: Printer not detected, printio.local not loading, or Printio not powering fully on. Applies whether Printio is inside your booth head unit or mounted externally.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Confirm “Ethernet” appears on the iPad

  • On iPad: Settings → Wi-Fi
  • Look for Ethernet under Wi-Fi

If missing: Unplug the USB cable from the head unit and plug it back in firmly. Recheck on the iPad.

Step 2: If Ethernet shows but printer or printio.local won’t load

Your IP looks fine, but you can’t see the printer or open http://printio.local.

  • Check for the red LED on the Printio module.
  • If off, power-cycle Printio:

Unplug USB-C power, wait 15–20 seconds, then plug back in. Confirm the red LED turns on.

Step 3: Verify connectivity in a browser

  • Confirm Ethernet still shows in Wi-Fi settings.
  • Open Safari/Chrome → http://printio.local
  • If needed, refresh a couple of times after power cycle.
  • When loaded and printer appears, your booth software should also detect it.

Step 4: Still no luck? Full booth + iPad restart

  • Shut down iPad: Settings → General → Shut Down
  • Power off booth (unplug), wait 10s, plug back in.
  • Turn iPad back on and let it fully boot.
  • Power-cycle Printio again (USB-C unplug → wait 15–20s → plug in).

Step 5: Re-check “Ethernet” and cables

  • If missing: unplug/replug USB cable from head unit.
  • If still missing: unplug head unit power briefly, then reconnect.

Step 6: Test from photo booth software

  • Open your app, try a test print.
  • If printio.local loads and printer appears, you’re good to go.
