ios15 print problem

Hi - ios 15 - I can no longer print anything from iphone or ipad with ios 15. When I click on Print it says ‘Gathering printer information’. Wife’s iphone, same wifi network, same printer, ios 14.8, has no problem. Also the mini ipad, NOT updated to ios15, prints fine. I have reset network on iphone/ipad, turned on/off router, hard reset iphone / ipad. Everything was working fine on all devices until I updated to ios 15. I have set everything to run on the same 2G network to be sure. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

Hi Stephen,

It appears that you're no longer able to print from only your iPad after updating to iPadOS 15. You've taken some great steps already with your iPad. We understand the printer works fine with other devices, but want to ensure that there are no updates for the printer itself to work properly with iPadOS (or iOS) 15. Let us know if there is an available update, which can help determine possible next steps.

Take care!

same problem as others have but my message is "no airprint printers found" we have an HP Laserjet P1102w which worked fine until the last two updates, now on 15.2.1

a workaround was possible by setting the printer to WiFi direct. now am able to print from Ipad. A little inconvenient since you have set and reset the wifi destination each time.

My iPhone 7 and iPad Air are both running ios 15.3 but can no longer print to Epson WF-2530. Same “gathering…” message which goes nowhere.

I have IOS 15.2.1 and cant print now. Only gathering info for as long as I let it. Please get it fixed soon.

I’ve fixed my print issue with Epson WF-2530 by unplugging the router, waiting one minute and then plugging it back in.
