AirPrint not working after iOS 18.0.1 update

After updating my iPhone 14 Pro from iOS 17.x.x to iOS 18.0.1 the AirPrint apps is not working with my Canon i-Sensys MF217w still reported to be supported by the new iOS version.


This printer works correctly if I print:

  • from my MACBook with MacOS Monterey 12.7.6
  • from another iPhone 11 running iOS 17


After trying to print a simple Note (with title "Modèle" for example containing a "grid"), I cannot see the AirPrint list and the printing never comes out or suddenly a new error message appears suggesting Retry or Open printing list . If I select "Open printing list" (see screen capture) in spite of observing my page in the printing list, printing never occurs.


Il have also tried to reboot:

  • my router
  • my printer
  • my iPhone 14 Pro



More details: ( the firmware of my Canon printer says : Main controller Ver 04.15 ; Boot Rom Ver 04.01; DCON Ver 00.09

I have no possibility to update this firmware because Canon does not provide a firmware update for MacOS Monterey 12.7.6 64 bits). And remember that everything worked fine with iOS 17 and from other devices not running iOS18.


Do you expect a new Update of iOS 18 to solve this problem or is this specific to my hardware configuration, not so obsolete after all ?

I hear from Reddit and also Apple community that other users experienced a similar problem.



iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

You are right.


There is a new Canon Print app (With modified logo) which now takes care of my MF217w laser printer. But it seems that these updated drivers are still not included in iOS 18.1.1. AirPrint.


I have proposed here above (see today’s Reply to my original post) a provisional solution which works satisfactorily.

UPDATE 18.2 installed on iPhone 13 but DID NOT fix printer issue with Canon Pixma MG5320.


I select print, next to Printer, it says “No Printer Selected”, click here and it says “looking for printers” with spinning star. It finds “Canon MG5300 Series”, I select it, the star spins briefly then screen changes and message “No Printer Selected” appears.


Exactly as before 18.2 update.

You are fully Right ! I forgot to indicate in my last post where I suggested a workaround using the new iOS version of Canon Print, that you need to enter (and to know) the IP address of your MF217w printer.


Yes, this solution is not that easy for non-computer scientists; but at least it works.


Regarding the subsequent recent versions of iOS 18.xxx I’m afraid it’s still not working on my iPhone XIV despite Apple claiming that Canon MF217w is supported by Airprint ! (Unless I am wrong….?)


Best …..
