Apple update affected printers

To the nice person who responded to my email earlier today (11/11) regarding the Apple update affecting my printers so sorry as I was responding my cat decided to jump on the keypad and my response went MIA as did your email request.


Epson printer is ET-2760

Canon isMF644Cdw.

My MacBook version is 12.6.1,

iPhone is 16.1.1

iPad is 16.1.


All worked until Apple update. My printers are air print off of my wifi or cellular.


I hard reset the printers, nothing. I tried to update the printer software and I have the newest version.


Thank you for your help
