## Discussion

This property contains a printer name that is suitable for display in your app’s user interface. For printers you create yourself using the [`init(url:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrinter/init(url:)-1mibn) method, the value of this property is `nil` until you successfully connect to the printer using the [`contactPrinter(_:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPrinter/contactPrinter(_:)) method.
