AirPrint not working after iOS 17 Update

AirPrint was working on ios16 using a Canon printer connected to my home WiFi. I recently updated to ios17 and the printer shows up as an available printer but shortly disappears after selecting it. I am able to print on iPad os 16 and my MacBook Air on Ventura using AirPrint. I’ve reset network setting on both router iPhone and printer and I am still encountering same behavior. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix it or if it is a known bug in ios17? I’ve also restarted my phone and tested it on my partners iPhone which shows same behavior on ios17.

I have the same issue with Canon MF240 and no security software installed on my iPhone and iPad. Just updated to iOS 17.0.1 . The printer name shows up for a while and then disappears! I can print from my computer. I didn’t have this issue until before updating to iOS 17. Please fix this problem, it’s really annoying.

I too have problems printing to my canon network printer on home network from my iphone 11 and my wife’s too after doing of 17.1.2 update. Airbook prints great on network - so it has to be os update bug. Tried powering everything down and back up - this update just fubar it would be nice to be able to revert to os 16 but that would make too much sense hey? When is NEXT OS update to fix this foing to happen?

As has already been posted several times, you need to update your Canon printer firmware. You can do that from the printer settings on the printer.

My Brother printer will not connect to my iPhone since the latest upgrade. If so many people are having this problem it is clearly an apple screw up. They need to fix it fast. We need to use our printers.


This last upgrade messed up so many things that I need to use. The printer is just the newest thing I found. Whoever did this upgrade and whoever approved it should be fired.

Thanks for this! After installing the "HP Samsung Mobile Print" app on my iPhone I can finally use your method and print over WiFi on iOS 17.2. I have an unsupported Samsung printer (M2875FW) that is still in good condition and I'm just not ready to buy a new printer or could not be bothered to setting up an AirPrint server, just because Apple doesn't want to play nice anymore. I should add that the app looks prehistoric and I would still expect Apple to fix this in the OS so that printing can be done natively instead of relying on an ancient third-party app.

I didn't know the reason why AirPrint broke is because a much needed security update, thanks for the info. The thing is that the printer is perfect for my needs (light printing/scanning docs from time to time) so probably won't replace it until it physically breaks. The printer doesn't have Internet access but this would one more reason to put it behind a VLAN.
