How to allow permission for printer after accidentally hit do not allow?

I usually print via wifi through my cell. The new iphone update allowed a pop up and asked if I wanted to allow or not allow the printer and I accidentally hit do not allow. There is nothing in any setting on my phone to undo it.



iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18

To troubleshoot your printer connection:

  1. Restart: Power cycle your iPhone and printer.
  2. App Check: If you have a printer app (like HP Smart or Canon Print), uninstall and reinstall it.
  3. Wi-Fi Permission: In Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network, ensure your printer is enabled in the app/device list.
  4. Reset Network Settings: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings: Only network settings are removed.
    1. When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.
    2. To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. See Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone in this guide.
    3. To remove network settings installed by MDM, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the management, then tap Remove Management. This also removes other settings and certificates provided by MDM. See “Mobile device management (MDM)” in the iOS Deployment Reference.
    4. Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.
