I see your printer listed— About AirPrint - Apple Support

Printers/scanners are typically the first causality in upgrading any OS.

If it is listed as AirPrint printer, delete the existing printer, and add it again, select AirPrint.

Thanks for the info. After deleting the printer and adding it, that didn't work. I also reset the printer. Didn't work. After trying various trial and error methods, I finally unplugged everything and then reset our router. That did the trick! My computer is now recognizing and communicating with my printer.

Very frustrating though. Seems to happen a LOT when Apple comes up with a software update! Why?

Printers/scanners are typically the first causality in any upgrading any OS— nothing new there.
