I installed an upgraded router, and now my iPhone and iPad will not recognize my existing printer. How can I connect the printer to my devices?

Hi,


Is it an AirPrint-enabled printer?

If yes, and if there is a problem with AirPrint discovery for one or more devices when all settings are correct, you may want to try the following full procedure (in the exact order):

Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the Mac, the iPhone and the iPad, 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 Mac, the iPhone, and the iPad. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.


If necessary, please post back with the exact printer model (and the type of router).
