Airprint iOS 8

I bought a printer 8 mos ago that specically was on 'the list' to AirPrint and now it is useless. Really disappointed with Apple, as well.

BE sure you refer to that first upgrade as IOS 8.01 and the current as 8.02 because there IS an 8.1 and 8.2 and 8.3 coming--in works now.

I think these were before the IOS 8.02 upgrade which is the current one--I could be mistaken about date, but my printer (HP3511) did work in IOS 8. No devices, no apps, native or third party, will print with IOS 8.02 for me.

Same problem here. Running IOS 8.0.2. I have an Epson Artisan 730 printer. Printer works with Iprint but no go with Airprint.

Thats nice picnicmetoo, can we all come over to your house to print? 😁

You missed it--NOTHING prints in IOS 8.02 from 4 devices LOL. I have turned in a bug report but that doesn't solve it for me or you. I just wish I had stuck with 8 but could not find anything big time buggy in an IOS 8.02 search before I decided to install it nor did my friends have issues (guess they didn't try printing LOL)

It seems that all of a sudden Air Print ceased working on all my Apple devices. 2 of which are on IOS7 and my Ipad briefly went to IOS8 but then switched back due poor performance. Even before the attempted upgrade Air Print was not working.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks

Am I understanding that none of your devices worked with Air Print in IOS7 or had they worked and for some reason stopped working in IOS 7? That sounds very much like you had a wireless connection problem between your printer and devices. Can you tell us what printer? This may be the wrong thread to really help you however.

Sorry as I am a bit of a newbie, but Air Print was working perfectly for some time. Recently we noticed that while all our devices (Iphone 4s, 5s & Ipad3) recognized our HP OJ 6600, nothing would progress once job was submitted and subsequently time out. HP e-print works perfectly.

In addition, all the pc's in the house print wirelessly.

I even removed the printer files and reinstalled.

Thanks for any assistance.

Apple released printer updates today through Software Update - Lots of Samsung printers on the list - might address your issues... see link below for list of printers included in the update

OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download

Thank you, my printer is on this list and I hope this solves my iPad and iPhone printing pronlems. i have no problem printing from my Mac.

Actually, this is not a fix for my samsung printer. This isn't new information for me.

The printer updates won't help with IOS, those are CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) driver updates for OSX. The AirPrint problems either can be resolved with firmware updates of the printer (apparently Samsung seems to be already aware of the problem and is working on a solution) or by Apple themselves with an IOS update.

As so many others in this thread I also have encountered problems with Airprint.

After installing IOS 8.0.2 my IPad Retina cannot find my HP 6530 ALL-IN-ONE printer.

WIth the previous IOS 7 and earlier versions I had no problems.

I can print to it over WiFi with my Wkndows 7 laptop.

Conclusion: Apple has made a change to Airprint and should now quickly issue a correction to it.

To claim that the protocol is proprietory is not a solution. Apple has released it to printer manufacturers and should support it. Otherwise no tbird-party vendor can rely on Apple and then they will stop supporting it.

So instead of taking steps to solve the problems with iOS 8, Apple has chosen the route of making downgrading impossible. Gotta love Apple's "we don't care what you want to do with our devices; you're going to do what we want you to with them” attitude.

A quote: "UPDATE, 29th September: Apple has now stopped 'signing' or authorising iOS 7. This means the method of downgrading from iOS 8 back to iOS 7 listed below no longer works. We will update this article if we discover a new method that will let you reinstall iOS 7, but in the mean time the safest bet is to assume that updating your iPhone or iPad to iOS 8 is an irreversible process. Make sure you are absolutely certain you want to upgrade to iOS 8 before doing so."

Great usage of their time. Perhaps this issue could be resolved if they spent a little more of their resources patching their software and a little less effort on their Gestapo policies.

<Link Edited By Host> Really? I can't link to an article on a site called "macworld"? Gestapo forums for a Gestapo company. Anyway, just Google "downgrade to ios 7" if you want to see some articles on the topic.
