    Hello GT-LR,


    I understand that you're no longer able to print to your wireless printers that are connected to your home network. The steps outlined below can help restore your ability to successfully print from your iOS devices to the affected printers.

    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."

    • On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, verify that your device is using the latest version of iOS available and that the app you're printing from is up to date. 
    • On your Mac, use Software Update to update the Mac operating system and apps you've purchased from the Mac App Store.
    • Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer model. 
    • You can connect an AirPrint device to your network either through bridging, or a direct connection to your Wi-Fi network. 
    • AirPrint devices connected to the USB port of an Apple AirPort Base Station or AirPort Time Capsule don't use AirPrint. If your printer includes AirPrint, connect it directly to your Wi-Fi network or the Ethernet LAN port on your Base Station to print wirelessly.
    • After turning on your printer, wait a few moments before trying to print. Some printers might take a minute or two after powering up before joining your network.

    Thanks for the info.  I tried everything listed. still none of my apple devices "see" the 2 wireless HP printers.  Every Windows PC has no problem with wireless printing.  Is there a way to re-install the Bonjour software?  I'm getting really frustrated with Apple.  I was having no problems until downloading the iOS 9.x updates.  BTW, I have now downloaded the new iOS 10, and still no wireless printing on the iPads, iPhones, or Macbook Air.
