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.

"Cannot AirPrint after updating to ios17 on iPhone: Issue was fixed after updating firmware on Canon printer under Menu -> System Management -> Update Firmware

Updates are what firmware is all about. To get something working as it should with a newer Operating System and to fix bugs, install firmware updates.


Excellent job troubleshooting!

There seems to be a common denominator that the firmware of the printer is more often the culprit. Epson seems to be avoiding the issue and I find it extremely frustrating that Apple is not taking a position on this, at leas as far as the forums are concerned.


not a very good customer loyalty position to take. At this point Apple and epson are taking the position that i have to ditch my loyal printer because they can’t get their acts together. As a Nac user since about 1990 I am very dissatisfied.

JOoxon, I have an old Kyocera office printer, duplex, real workhorse prints 40ppm, can't get an upgrade from Kyocera that they guarantee will work, applying it may trash the printer. Can print using the old trad IP address method from laptops, desktops etc, but obviously won't AirPrint with iOS 17. Pain if you want to print a quick email or note from yr iPhone. If you figure out a solution to this, post it here, would be most grateful.

Does anyone know if the old Airport express devices will work with iOS 17?

I assume you were running Ventura before your update? If that is the case you could revert to Ventura and update at a later date. I did this because I have some apps that didn’t run properly under Sonoma. If the HP ENVY PHOTO 7864 has a network port you could connect a network cable run it as a IP network printer, or alternatively buy a USB print server for bout $50 and set up the HP as a full network printer. Just some disjointed thoughts if they help.

After you restarted your router and devices did that allow you to print again? Or only having the HP app is allowing you to print now? I had seen other suggestions to turn off private WIFI address if that was enabled but that did not change anything. iOS 16 did not have this issue. Whatever they changed in iOS 17 has broken airprint for older printers.
