Mine in a Brother printer. It’s the iPhone. I get the popup for print and recognition of the printer but nothing prints. No problem with iPad, computers. But problem with phone. Thought I got it working by shutting down phone and VPN but problem back again

So far I’ve been able to get my HP printer to print if I unplug it, then plug it back in, but it’s a real pain since I have to do it every time I want to print something. It won’t print without doing this from my iPhone 14, my iPad mini or my son’s iPhone XR. It will print fine from my Dell laptop, so I suspect it’s an Apple problem

Having the same problem printing from my Iphone to a brother printer. No problem printing from my husband‘s iPad. Just bought a new iPad and am wondering if it is the latest upgrade to both my phone and my new iPad that has screw things up. The printer seems to be working fine.

Do the following, in this order:

  • If you have VPN installed, delete the VPN profile and app - If that doesn't fix it proceed with the next steps
  • power off the printer
  • Power off your iPhone
  • Restart your router by unplugging it for 15 seconds (many newer routers have no true power switch)
  • Turn on your iPhone
  • Connect the iPhone to the Wi-Fi network if it doesn’t automatically connect
  • Power on the printer and wait for it to connect to Wi-Fi


You should also check with the printer manufacturer for a software update for the printer.


These steps restart the BonJour network that supports AirPrint, and will usually resolve any AirPrint issues. You probably don’t need to do all of them, but following these steps is usually less work than finding the one that is causing the problem.

I had the same issue on an HP printer. I fixed it by re-entering my Wi-Fi password on the printer – basically reconnecting the printer to Wi-Fi. I tried everything else, unplugging it, restarting my iPhone, etc.… But re-entering the Wi-Fi password worked like a charm.

Getting a Printer to Reconnect:

Update the firmware on the Printer. If connected to the Internet, you may be able to do so on the the LCD screen of the printer.
