Since iOS 16.2 update, cannot print to network printer. My non-apple devices are printing just fine.

With iOS 16.2, is there some setting that needs changed to allow printing?

Non-apple devices print fine. iPad and iPhone not printing.

Hi,


It would probably be correct to assume that your printer is an AirPrint-compatible model (see About AirPrint - Apple Support), unless you have to use a special app from the printer manufacturer.


If all settings are OK, and if there is a problem with device discovery, you could try the following power-cycle sequence (with these waiting times; do not forget the router): Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, the iPhone, the iPad, and all other connected devices/computers. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer. Wait a minute or two. Power on the iPhone and the iPad. Finally, power on all other devices/computers.
