Hi Janice,

I understand that you're no longer able to print from your iPhone using AirPrint. I'd like to help you get this resolved.

Before you begin, please ensure that your printer is compatible with AirPrint. The following article will provide you with a full compatibility list:

About AirPrint - Apple Support


Once you have verified your printer's compatibility with AirPrint, please take a look at the guidance below:

If your printer is AirPrint-enabled

If your printer is AirPrint-enabled for printing from your Mac or iOS device, just make sure that it's connected to the same Wi-Fi network used by the Mac or iOS device.1

If you still can't print, try any of these solutions:

  • Restart your Wi-Fi router. Then restart your printer.
  • Move your printer closer to your Wi-Fi router.
  • Update your printer and Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware from the manufacturer.2
  • Update the software for your Mac or iOS device.

If you're using a Mac and you still can't print, it might help to reset the printing system. Otherwise, contact the printer manufacturer for support.
