Q: Has anyone else found that after ios7 download, my HP 5520 AirPrint printer is now listed with all the networks that my ipad  can see. This means that I have to change networks to the printer in order to print.

After downloading ios7 my printer occurs in the list of wifi networks. In order to print I have to go to settings and "join" the HP 5520 network. Then, when I am finished, I have to return and re-join my router's network.

iPad, iOS 7

    Hi Newent1,

     

    Under a normal Airprint configuration, the printer should be joined to your primary wireless network as a client. That way, you should not have to switch networks to print (print data goes from iPad => router => printer). If something has changed in your configuration, you may need to set your printer back up to rejoin your network. You may find the troubleshooting portion of the following article helpful:

    After hours of troubleshooting, and after trolling the support site, I couldnt find a solution.   On a hunch, I deleted the home network from my IPAD and I also deleted my manual setting for my DNS.  Then rejoined my home network then the printer showed back up on the IPAD!  It prints wonderfully too.
