I am having the same problem with my Brother HL-3170CDW printer and my Ipad 2 with IOS 7.0.2 My airprint printer no longer is found within Airprint. I updated my router, printers firmware and rebooted everything and same result. I have to use the iprintscan app to print anything on the ipad anymore as i can manually setup the IP address of the printer, then the iprintscan app sees the printer but not the airprint within IOS 7. This is limited within the App though.

I have a new iPad air which cannot find my airprint printer. I have the latest printer firmware installed, I have cycled the power on the printer, the router and the iPad. Both of the other computers (windows xp and vista) on the network work just fine so I am reasonably sure the network is ok. I tried your trick of forgetting and rejoining the network but that didn't work. Any other suggestions?

This answered my question!! This also worked for me... Finally! On my iPad 3 I deleted the home network and re -installed it but still didn't work. I re-booted iPad and router and tried it again, forgetting the network, then joining again. On my iPhone 5, forgetting the network and re-joining was all it took to find the air printer.

I have an HP1102W laser printer (firmware version 20130703) which is in the list of Apple airprint printers, a TP-Link TD-W8980 Router and an iPad Mini running IOS7. All have been purchased in the last 6 months. All are operating on the same wireless network - in case it makes any difference, the system is in Greece.

I just cannot get 'airprint' to work - it just says that no airprint printer can be found.

I have looked at the router set up and can find something that says 'IGMP Snoop' is enabled which I believe is something to do with airprint.

Have tried the 'turn everything off' and then back on in the order router, printer and iPad but still no joy

Can anybody help ?
