Start here >>> Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support


As described, your (W)LAN infrastructure may be unexpectedly failing to pass Apple Bonjour traffic on you local network - or your WiFi Router or Network Switch may be blocking this device discovery protocol.


The Apple Bonjour protocol uses mDNS (Multicast DNS) UDP port 5353.


You may find that restart of your network components will resolve the problem. You’ll need to restart your network devices in the correct order. Assuming that you WiFi Router provides DNS services for your network, restart devices in this order - allowing time for devices to fully boot/restart prior to restarting other devices:


  • WiFi Router
  • Upstream wired Network Switch(es)
  • WiFi Access Points / Network Extenders
  • Other fixed infrastructure devices - such as Printers
  • Client devices


Restarting your iPad, after restarting other devices in the correct sequence, is most simply achieved by a forced-restart of the iPad:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.





If your new Router has an IGMP Snooping setting, it may be helpful to either change or toggle this setting. In some situations, this can resolve issues with Bonjour.

Hi,


Any change if you try a full power-cycling sequence in the following order? Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the iPad and the iPhone, and all other devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the iPad and the iPhone. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.


If not, please post back with the exact printer and router models. Sometimes there is a (router) problem with an automatic detection of devices and selection of bands (2.4 GHz/5 GHz). If so, it may become necessary to split and rename bands.
