Continuing AirPrint problem

Similar issue will print one page documents but anything longer says printer not available ( for next page) some times tries to print 2 documents but only one called for. Recent problem.

I have experienced a similar problem - resolved by restarting all devices in the correct sequence.

Fully shut-down all of your devices - including your Printer and yout WiFi Router/modem.

Next, restart your WiFi Router/modem. The restart may take up to five minutes - so allow this time to elapse before proceeding.

After your Router has settled, restart any other network switches and WiFi extenders (if any) - and then restart the Printer.

Finally, restart your iPad/iPhone and any other client devices.

If you continue to have difficulties, check to see if your iPad is using the new WiFi Private Address feature. This feature is intended to provide additional privacy and security when using “public” (untrusted) WiFi networks.

Settings > WiFi > [Your WiFi Network / SSID] - tap the “i” icon - Private Address

The Private Address feature is largely unnecessary for your home WiFi network; if enabled, Private Addressing can interfere with anticipated operation of other devices, such as AirPrint/Airplay. In such circumstances, you may need to disable this feature - and can be enabled or disabled for each individual network.

Use private Wi-Fi addresses in iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and watchOS 7 - Apple Support

Ditto here. AirPrint also occasionally printing two copies when settings clearly indicate one. All started this spring. Sounds like a we need a fix in a future update, asap.

Apple seems to be silent on this issue offering no solution.

I have tried all suggestions without success. I have to send something I want to print to a laptop (Windows or Mac) and that works okay but nothing from iPhones or iPads using AirPrint. This worked fine until last update. Very frustrating!

If you have a security App installed (e.g., Norton) or a VPN App/profile installed, these can inhibit communication with local network resources - such as printers.

If you have either installed in your iPad, try deleting them from your iPad.

I’m having the exact same issue. Can anyone confirm the fix?

Has anyone had the issue on the recent updates, 17.7 or even 18? Just curious.

iOS 17.7 didn’t solve it for my ipad. It can’t accept 18 - not enough room. I reset my Wi-Fi router, printer, iPad and iPhone with no solution. What does Apple say?
