AirPrint stopped working on iPhone

Hi,

It would probably be correct to assume that you have one of the AirPrint-enabled Canon printer models (About AirPrint - Apple Support).

You mentioned restarting your modem and/or printer. Have you tried the following full procedure in the order described, including the waiting times?

Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, any iPhones, iPads, Macs, and all other computers and devices. 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 all iPhones, IPads and Macs. Finally, power on all other computers and devices.

HP Envy 5200 series. At first iOS update 17.3 fixed it but then it started acting up again. I powered off printer and unplugged for several mins., printing is working again. My printer has an email doc to printer option that works perfectly always-worth a shot til all this is resolved.

MY PROBLEM SOLVED! (with Firmware Update)

Easy steps to solve for those who have Canon MF230 series printer:

1. Press MENU
2. Select System Management Setting
3. Select Firmware Update
4. Select update Via Internet
5. and pray that it will work....Hahahaha!

Similarly was unable to air print to my Canon g6020 printer following iOS 17 updates to my iPhone 15 pro and iPad Pro 11. Tried updating printer firmware to no avail. Finally decided to try a new NETGEAR Nighthawk xr1000 router in place of the Xfinity provided Arris xb7 modem/router combo. Used the same modem but bridged to the new Nighthawk router. Problem solved, can now AirPrint from both iPhone and ipad

Thanks PeterParker!!! I took your advice and figured out how to update the firmware in the printer and IT WORKED!!!!

(now I need to figure out how to retract my negative comment below…)

Update the firmware on your printer!! I did that it now I can air print from my apple devices

Well…. If it’s working for your girlfriend’s phone and the iPad, let’s take a look at your phone- what’s the difference here? What OS is it running? Is it the same, earlier, or later? Any new apps that you’ve installed? What is your model phone and your GF? And it’s October…. Had a weird iPhone yesterday that came in that I swear was possessed… wouldn’t hook up to WIFI, wouldn’t update to current OS, and wouldn’t relinquish the SIM to a new iPhone 15 for an eSIM by being close to each other. Sometimes tech breaks. Keep us posted. Can the phone print anywhere else?

Hi alang1962,

Has the iPhone been upgraded to iOS 17.x.x?

Have you tried the full power-cycle sequence in my first message above?

Are you using a VPN app? If so, since VPN may affect printing, any change without VPN?

You do not say which exact printer model you have. Please make sure that the printer firmware has been updated to the latest possible version.

Just adding my voice to the growing list of those in the same boat. I am using a canon MF249DW printer and a week ago I could air print. Now I can’t after installing the 17.1.2 update. I’ve updated drivers. I’ve rebooted all devices. No luck. Air print is dead at our house. This is super lame.

Update your printer firmware.

For AirPrint, using Bonjour/mDNS, it is important that every device is correctly recognised and handled by the router. It is quite possible that only one device is not working while the others are OK. Thus the suggestion to go through the complete power-cycle sequence. It may or may not work. Therefore, again, my question, have you tried this? If not, and if you already know the answer to your own question, there is not much I can add.

iphone 12 SUDDENDLY cannot recognize canon mf320 printer after apple's latest update..... works fine from other iphone in the house and works fine from all computers..... apple simply says to reboot, blah blah..... canon says it is apple's end....

it is frustrating..... i did mange to turn off all future updates from apple.... apple no longer allows reversal of a recent update.... apple tech says to contact printer manufacturer and printer folks say contact apple....

The firmware update steps that sevelau88 listed worked perfectly… the printer took about five minutes to download and then update and was ready to go again.

My iPhone and iPad (both had updates to IOS 17) are now working again.

Thanks for the suggestion

Were you able to resolve? The same thing happened to me upgrading to a 15, and everyone else can print. I have tried the cycle down and up sequence and no joy.

What printer are you using please?
