Printing from my iPad has worked fine up until a week or so ago. When I try to print, the name of the printer appears but quite quickly disappears. I've tried to hit 'Print' before the disappearance but it still fails. I have two iPhones, two Macbooks and an iMac - I can print from all these devices. I've tried the usual switching off and back on but that didn't work. The iPad is currently on 17.6.1.
Any ideas?
iPad, iPadOS 17
Consider updating your iPad to iPadOS 17.7.1 - if supported by your iPad, iPadOS 18.1.
Do you have any security Apps (such as Norton) or VPN installed on your iPad? If so, these may be interfering with your iPad's internal routing table - and may interfere with AirPrint/AirPlay/WiFi Hotspot or other Apple services. If present, it may be necessary to temporarily remove such Apps from your iPad - and then perform a forced-restart.

Unless a VPN is explicitly configured to allow Split Tunnelling, all network traffic will be directed to the VPN Gateway - and as such, your iPad will not be able to communicate with devices on your local network, such as your local printer.

I don't have a VPN so that isn't my problem.
Not printing from iPad
