AirPrint not working after iOS 17 Update

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.

A lot of suggestions to update printer firmware. I wish I could but sadly my Samsung/HP printer hasn't seen an update in ages. Somewhat annoying for an expensive printer/scanner bought only 5 years ago. So I'm stuck with the inability to print from iOS unless the issues is fixed by Apple.

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.

So maybe it’s time to replace the printer. It is probably full of security vulnerabilities by now. And modern printers are frankly much better overall, and pretty inexpensive (said the guy with a 20 year old Laserjet 6 MP.)

The only way I got my Samsung printer to work was to download HP Samsung mobile Print app from the Apple

App Store then send share your pint tasks to the app and print from within the app , I have tried all of the other

fixes on this thread , but this is the only way I could my iPad Pro to AirPrint with IOS 17

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.

I wrote earlier that we couldn't reach our AirPrint printers (80+) via Printopia after iOS/iPadOS 17.0, now finally it works after updating the devices to 17.2. No need for us to update any firmware on the printers.

I have same issue with cannon MF249dw cannot AirPrint with IOS 17. As per advise, upgraded printer firmware to 22.07 (latest). I still CANNOT print with IOS 17. My old iPhone NOT ISO17 still working fine with the AirPrint.

There is a way to print a photo and although not a perfect solution does work. Copy the photo and paste it in a new note and then print the note with the photo on it.

This, I think proves it is an Apple glitch.

Hope this is useful until Apple finds a proper solution.

Amodra, sounds like this might be a totally unrelated network problem and not an AirPrint issue, can you check on your router that your printer is picking up an IP address. Restart everything on your network.

Sounds good. But the solution I read was: copy the picture in a note. Air-print the note with the picture. That works, directly printing the picture does not work? What is the difference?

so air- print works( no discussions about vpn, not correct IP etc). Air-print works for pdf, notes, word, excel etc. Only not for directly printing pictures.

What is then technical the difference?

Lawrence, I wonder if the file format has anything to do with it because prior to 17 we could AirPrint HEIF from the photos app or opening a photo elsewhere. For many of us with iOS 17 we are able to use Airprint from every other application, but it has only been the photos app or printing photos from another application that is now not working and this seems to be the case where a firmware update is no longer available for the printer. It is still strange to me that 17 broke printing photos only for many of us while everything else can still be printed.

I was seeing this with multiple devices after upgrading to iOS 17.x. Upgraded to 17.2 last week and it fixed all the Airprint issues I had. At the moment I'm installing 17.2.1 to test and make sure it still works.

I have this problem with my Pixma G7020, based on what I am seeing in this post, Canon needs to update their firmware. I have tried reaching out to them, worked with their chat team for about half an hour, my phone sees the printer on the network but AirPrint is not working, doesn’t show up on my iPhone or iPad as an Air printer. I tried all of the outlined steps in proper sequence, it solves the problem for the short term and within a few minutes the printer disappears again.

Same problem on HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451 series, and only with my iOS devices. (I *can* airprint from my Windows laptop to this HP printer, but *not* from my iOS devices running OS 17.2.1) All firmware on printer up-to-date. The printer shows as available on my iOS devices, I execute the print command, the printer acts like its going to print, and then just drops it and returns to neutral state. Any solutions? Thank you for any ideas!!
