"Forget this Network" then reconnecting back to the wifi that the printer is connected to worked for me. Rebooting the router, printer, modem, and phone (on top of updating) didn't help.

If your printer is Airprint compatible, and if it worked before the latest update, I suggest that you:

  • turn off all your devices, printer included
  • reboot your modem router, waiting for its complete auto-configuration
  • turn your printer back on, making sure it is connected to your wifi network
  • turn your iPhone back on and test it.


If it still doesn't work, please contact your printer manufacturer's support team and see if there is a new firmware to download, and/or check with them your printer configuration.

Hi,


Is this an AirPrint-enabled printer?

Has it been working earlier? If so, you may want to try a full power cycle sequence (do not forget the router): Power off the Wi-Fi router, the printer, and all Macs/iPhones/iPads. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the router. Wait two to three minutes. Power on the printer(s). Wait a minute or two. Power on the Macs/iPhones/iPads.


In case anything has to be changed on the printer, please post back with the exact make and model.
