Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Right after installing a software update last year, my iPad will not print. It asks to select printer, which it selects, but the printer name immediately disappears. I currently have version 17.3.1. Same story. Reset printer settings per a community response. Same story. Please help. Printer is my only one and is on the same network. Als, why won't apple fix this? It seems like a common problem.

You're very welcome. I'm delighted to learn that your printer issue has been successfully resolved.
Apple doesn’t fix anything that we ask for. I had this happen to me too. I had to restart my iPad and turn my WiFi on and off a bunch of times to get it to finally stay.
Perhaps your printer is using an older (now deprecated) version of AirPrint. If so, check with the printer's manufacturer for availability of a printer firmware update.
Be aware that iPadOS 17.4.1 is current. You should update to this version - as the update includes both functional fixes and essential security updates.
I have the same problem on 17.4.1 on two different iPads.
I updated. No difference. Any other suggestions? I turned the iPad and printer off and on, no difference.
Thank you, LotusPilot, I updated my firmware and this issue is now resolved for me!
