AirPrint not working after iOS 17 Update

Works! The menu selections are somewhat different depending on the Canon printer model you have, but once you get to update, initiate, and complete the process, the printer works fine again with the regular print command in iOS 17 and iPadOS 17.

Whether you get a solution to this problem depends on your printer manufacturer, Apple have dropped support for the earlier AirPrint protocols and many printers only worked by using that earlier iteration of the AirPrint protocol. This earlier AirPrint protocol was dropped from OS X Ventura and has not been reinstated. I have a number of printers, some continue to work with the appropriate firmware update, but some older printers are now regarded as legacy devices and are no longer supported and will not print using iOS 17 AirPrint protocols.

The first step in resolving this problem will be to contact your printer support desk to check on the firmware version that you have installed and whether there is an appropriate firmware update, if there is install it and you will probably have a fully functional printer. If there is no update available you won’t be able to AirPrint but the printer will still work using traditional IP addressing protocols. This will work fine with operating systems (OS X, MS, Linux) that allow IP addressing protocols to be configured but not for iPad and iPhone iOS devices which rely solely on AirPrint.

Anyone have Sharp MX-3071? We do at work and now that 2 of us have upgraded our phones to 17 it no longer works. Our IT for the printer cannot figure it out, says there is no Sharp software update available. The other employee didnt upgrade her software and she can airprint just fine to this printer.

@techguyuk - not sure this is fully the case (but can understand the logic of an older protocol version being dropped). I have a Samsung printer that still works via AirPrint from MacOS Sonoma so didn't stop working under Ventura, but it can't be found as a printer on iOS 17.x

Devices on iOS 16.x can still print to the Samsung printer fine which implies it's specific to the changes in iOS17 only. I also happen to have an Epson printer that still works fine on iOS16, iOS17 and MacOS Sonoma so agree there is printer specific element. Sadly my chances of getting a firmware update from HP would seem limited given they bought Samsung printer line and then immediately dropped support!

I have a workaround for older Samsung printers , I have a SLM2835DW which will not connect in IOS 17 but works perfectly fine in IOS 16 , download Samsung Mobile Print from the App Store , then share / send your docs to the app, then print from within the Samsung Mobil Print app . It is odd that IOS 17 cannot see the printer but the Samsung app does . Even Direct Print although correctly set up on my iPad is not able to connect with IOS 17 , hopefully this bug will be sorted by Apple soon

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?

We have a Canon MF110/910 and got the firmware update on the printer screen itself. Go to the Menu, then System Settings, then Update Firmware. Then select via internet to download the update over your WiFi directly into the printer.

Lates update WORKED! A little background, I’ve got an Epson and have been struggling with this problem ever since I downloaded IOS 17. Today I turned off the router, printer, Norton VPN and reentered SSID to no avail. Just installed the latest update and it WORKED! And amazingly enough, my Norton VPN recognizes my WiFi again so I don’t have to keep signing in to toggle it off!

Same issue, no AirPrint to my Samsung m2885fw since ios17. Samsung contacted, but last firmware was in 2020, since then it seems they have been taken over by HP, and as such support/firmware updates for this model (perhaps other Samsung models also) are non existent.

Assuming that our friends at Apple Inc read all these posts, I wonder if they would reconsider restoring support for all these older but still serviceable printers if only on the grounds of sustainability? Apple ….. your call.

AirPrint does not work after iOS17 upgrade to iPhone12Pro to LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer. HP does not have any updated firmware. My daughter who has the latest version iOS16, same app not working for me worked for her????

airprint on epson ET-2800 not working after i Updated my devices to IOS 17.0.3. Seems to a problem common to many other printer brands . Are we Wee users to wait for another IOS update or is this something that all the affected airprint printer brands will need to adress ??? This problem was not present in the previous versions of IOS

Delaware,

reboot router, server, and any AirPrint devices, and printer

check AirPrint is enabled on printer

check VPN, Norton VPN is known to cause problems, disable VPN and check print status

check with Canon support desk if there is any known issues with this printer using iOS 17

did this printer work with iOS 16?

contact Apple support and raise a ticket

We have 87 shared printers via Printopia and no printers show up on i-devices with iOS/ipadOS 17. Earlier versions till works and even macOS Sonoma. So in or case I'm not sure if it's 100% iOS/ipadOS 17 or Printopia. Or Printopia is the latest version with support for iOS/ipadOS 17. Sucks when more people decide to upgrade.

After other users feedback on this iOS not AirPrinting with 17.0.3. I turned off VPN and made certain that it remains off while in wifi mode. My Epson Et-2800 does now allow my apps to print through Airplay. Am a happy customer

thanks for feedbacks
