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 have a laser jet about 8 years old-MFP M277dw. I resolved it by downloading and installing the updated HP Smart App annd setting it up with my laser jet. I also rebooted my devices and my router/ gateway. I only connect via wifi and mostly use AirPrint.


Whenever I send something to the printer, I go to the options box at the top of the first dialog box I get and I have to uncheck”automatic” and change the type to pdf, current, individual photo, image or whatever other specific option I want.


In the dialogue box for actions -do not select print. Select the print with HP Smart option.


This sends the image to the HP Smart app to print.


BTW the HP smart app is awful!- you lose the options to select a particular type or size of paper and you have to wait for the job to finish printing before you can do anything. It is very poorly thought out.


I hope your printer is new enough to use the app. Good luck.

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.

I was having the same problem printing to an HP9015e printer with my iPhone. I tried everything I found on the Internet and finally decided to delete any HP app from my phone (HP ePrint and HP Smartprint) and then doing a hard reset on my phone. It seems to be working now. If it doesn't solve the problem I will update my post.

First of all, I do not have Norton or any VPN on my machine. In addition, I have tried every suggestion offered by the community (updating my printer drivers, turning everything (modem, printers, devices, etc) off and then rebooting. Nothing has worked This is obviously an iOS 17 problem that Apple needs to fix.

If it was obviously an iOS 17 problem it would affect millions of users, and no one would be able to fix it. As it doesn’t affect millions of users, and most of the participants in this thread have fixed it, it is not an iOS 17 problem; it is a problem with your network or your printer.
