it seems after an apple update our phones aren’t showing our printer not being AirPrint. Is there a new setting or something else I need to check? I restarted everything and no avail.
iPhone 13, iOS 26
As described, your LAN infrastructure may not be passing Apple Bonjour traffic on you local network - or your WiFi Router or Network Switch may be blocking this device discovery protocol.
The Apple Bonjour protocol uses mDNS (Multicast DNS) UDP port 5353.
You may find that restart of your network components will resolve the problem. You’ll need to restart your network devices in the correct order. Assuming that you WiFi Router provides DNS services for your network, restart devices in this order - allowing time for devices to fully boot/restart prior to restarting other devices:

Did power-cycle attempts include the router?
Yes, this seemed to work. I restarted all the above individually numerous times but this time I did them all together in order as listed. Thank you, I believe everything is working as it should be.
You're very welcome.
Often working through steps in the order described will clear specific network issues. I'm delighted that your problem has been successfully resolved.
