iphone Airprint not working after ios17

When trying to print to my home network HP printer 6978 from my iphone 14pro or my husbands 14, it first says NO PRINTER then, when I choose the printer from the list, the circle spins for a while then goes back to NO PRINTER and the PRINT is grayed out. This worked before ios17, but have been waiting for a solution since that release, and still no solution. I use this function alot. PLEASE RESOLVE!!

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

It surely is not after iOS 17. because...


I conducted a thorough search of this forum and uncovered numerous posts detailing similar issues across various iOS updates. This suggests that iOS updates may not consistently be the root cause. Below are a handful of examples extracted from the search results:


The links I've found suggest that the reason for not printing may not be solely due to iOS updates, but rather, it could be influenced by how an iPhone is utilized.

It's not always the iOS update's fault!  Many things can cause phone problems.  If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.


Remember, the right question often leads to the solution! Please look in the right direction.



iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.


Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.
