I found a solution to the “Printer not Found” problem iOS 17.
Go to <settings><VPN> and look for “Private VPN” below any VPN profiles you have. If it is on, turn it “off” (not connected). Hope this helps all who are having this problem!
God bless!!
I have 3 VPN profiles. In the consultation with Apple support, I deleted one of them I knew want working. I noticed that the “private VPN” was on but didn’t know what it was. Curiously, when the VPN was reinstalled and it still didn’t work, I turned the private VPN off. Surprisingly, the printer connection worked. I tested all 3 profiles with the private VPN both on and off. That’s how I found the fix. It has been relayed to Apple and said it would probably be integrated with in the next update. Yay!!!

Yes, that’s one of the reasons a printer may not appear. Thanks for posting! For some users they may have to actually delete the VPN profile.
There are other possible reasons for AirPrint problems. Here’s a comprehensive guide→AirPrint Troubleshooting - Apple Community
Also, I don’t use AirPrint.
