AirPrint not working after iOS 17 Update

My HP printer stopped working on the IOS 17! Thought it was the fault of the printer. I got a new HP printer but it didn’t work as well. It recognised the printer after I downloaded the HP App from the Apple Store, but I cannot print because it always shows the printer offline! It’s frustrating. Both the iPad, iMac and iPhone doesn’t recognise the printer.

Can confirm:

Airprint with iOs17 still works, but not on all printer.

My Setup:

-older Printer from Canon (mF240 class) with original Firmware: Airprint works with all iPhones on iOS16, but not with IOS17

-newer Printer from Brother: Airprint works with all iOS16 AND all iOS17 devices!

A Firmware Update from 2021 was available for the older Canon.

With the newer Canon Firmware, all devices with iOS16 AND iOS17 can use Airprint on the Canon Printer!

Two factors causes this issue:

• Printer suppliers changed or corrected their Airprint implementation some years ago
• Apple iOS16 worked with old and new implementation, iOS17 only with the corrected one.

If you can’t use Airprint with your iOS17 device; Check your printer supplier. If there is no firmware upgrade: you won‘t get Airprint back. This seems to be a correct implementation from Apple, so there will be no fix from Apple.

"Airprint does not work with Samsung printers either, using ios17 phones. IPhone without ios17 update still prints via Airprint!”

Getting Samsung to Work with iOS17:

Contact Samsung. They probably have yet to do their part in providing the drivers.

1. Go Here: Support - Samsung
2. Click: Contact Us
3. Proceed from there as necessary

Thanks so much. Updating the firmware on my Canon MFP fixed AirPrint. Thanks for sharing this.

Photos won’t print on xerox either. Why is Apple so quiet about this. Not a very good Christmas present.

Has the same issue, updated the firmware on my Canon MFC printer solved the issue.

The only way I got my Samsung printer to work was to download the HP Samsung mobile print App from the

Apple App Store ( no other print App will work ) , then send / share your print jobs to the App and then print directly from the App .

I can only sporadically connect to my Epson 3850 since ios17. It happens with all 3 of my printers. Epson, hp and canon. 100% an iOS issue. Apple even apologized for the problem prior to the last update but didn’t say anything about their commitment to getting it fixed.

It is obvious from the volume of replies that this is a big issue

Is anyone at Apple paying attention?

I have the same issue with an Epson Workforce WF-3620. It still prints with my iPad pro which can’t update to 17.01 but runs on iOS 16.7, but on our three other products, which are all updated to iOS 17.01, I can’t print.

Hi had the IOS 17 air print not working problem, after speaking to Apple support it transpires it was Nortons VPN stopping it working. After removing the VPN bit of Nortons's all is Now working and I am able to print OK.

The Apple advisor is of the opinion that Nortons hs not yet been updated to deal with IOS 17.

As I say All now bck to normal, maybe this will help someone else!

Went to canon printer and there was no system management function under the menu. I have also tried closing down my printer, iPhone, iPad and router and rebooting them This also did not work. Any other suggestions?

I recently updated to ios17 and the printer shows up as an available printer but shortly disappears after selecting it. I was advised to restart router, wifi extenders, printers and iPad. This didn't really make sense as my Mac mini and phone both printed ok. SO after a lot of water time I found this comment - spot on. I deleted the Norton app on the iPad and now everything woks properly. If you're running Norton I'd try this first. Once they update I'll reinstall on my iPad.

Same problem with my 2 iPhones and 2 iPads. Updated the firmware on my canon d570 and problem was solved. What. A pain and lot of time to figure out when the big companies don’t do their job correctly.
