AirPrint / WiFi Printing still broken in 17.3.1 (No AirPrint Printers Found)

I was hoping that 17.3.1 update would fix this printing issue but it has not and I am losing hope.


Every other iPhone/iPad I have owned could easily connected and print to my printer via WiFi. My old iPad mini with iOS 9.3.5 connects and prints without issue. Following the iOS 17 update (on my 14 Pro Max) I have not been able to print at home on my Samsung Laser printer (AirPlay Enabled). My partner uses iPads for business but has had to stop because they cannot connect to their AirPrint enabled printers. "No AirPrint Printers Found".


For clarification on troubleshooting:

-I have hard reset my printer and ensured firmware is up to date.

-My printer AirPrint settings are enabled. (see pic)



-I have reset all of my Network settings on my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

-I have tried a different AirPrint enabled printer on a different network entirely.

None of these things have worked.


I don't understand why this is being overlooked by Apple. At this point, my fear is that we are being locked out of AirPrint enabled printers for some other reason. I hope this is not the case. If anyone can help me or knows how to fix this issue I would be very grateful. Thanks!

This was solved for my device by temporarily disabling “Private WiFi Address” under WiFi Settings (tap the lowercase ”i” next to your home WiFi connection under WiFi Settings)


Once I disabled “Private WiFi Address”, I was able to Locate my Printer and print a test page. After successfully printing a test page, I was even able to re-enable “Private WiFi Address” while continuing to maintain full printer discoverability and functionality.


Hope this helps someone who was struggling like I was! 👍🙂
