Ventura 13.5.2 broke my access to AirPrint printer Since updating to current version 13.5.2 of MacOS Ventura I cannot find my printer that is visible and working on my home network on my other devices which are a iPhone, iPad Pro and another MacBook Air macOS Monterey. Driving me nuts. I have tried numerous online suggestions that have not worked. Can anyone perhaps help? I am thinking I might need to take it to a Apple store to see if they can be of assistance.

Canon imageclass printer not shown in add printer on Macbook Air We have two Mac computers and one new Canon ImageCLASS MF453dw laser printer. One Mac is a new Mac Mini and the other is last year's MacBook Air. Both are running OS 12.6. I had no problem connecting the printer to the Mac Mini, but the printer does not appear on the list when you try to add a printer using the printers/scanners module in System Preferences. We have tried resetting the printer which eliminates any printers already on the list. Still nothing appears. We use a WiFi network with a Motorola modem/router. I need a plan for how to diagnose what is going wrong. The printer is obviously on the WiFi network since we can print from the Mac Mini. So why is the same printer not showing up on the list of printers when you ask to add a printer in system preferences on the MacBook Air?

Hi,

Just as a test, any change with the following procedure (in this order, with these waiting times, do not forget the router)?

Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, all iPhones and iPads, all Macs, and any other computers/devices. 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 all iPhones and iPads, and all Macs. Finally, power on any other computers/devices.
