![]() Despite HandyPrint and Printopia informing me that the printers are there and available, all my iOS devices see nothing. I have tried power cycling the iOS devices. I have power cycled the printer and the Airport Extreme Router. I have even removed and re-added the printer on one the MacMini to see if that would help - nothing. No Printer Found when trying to print and select a printer on any iOS devices.ĭoubt I am the only one in this spot. If anyone else has found a fix, please share. ![]() Guessing I am probably at the mercy of yet another update from Apple. I should have remembered the Hard Reset - thanks for the suggestion. This worked sort of - for my iPhone 6, following a Hard Reset when I attempt to print an email I am greeted with a full list of all my printer as I should be.īut for the iPad Air 2 and my wife's iPhone 5 the Hard Reset did not result in such glory. As my wife is the primary user of the iPad 2 Air as her personal computer and non-work system, her ability to print from it is quite important, so the restoration of printing on the iPhone 6 while good, is far from beneficial.īut following the lead of the Hard Reset, I opted to try a Network Reset on the iPad Air 2 - this of course blows away all the network data for all of the various wireless networks it is use to connecting to, as well as the certificates associated with our mail server. Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings.Īnd this worked. Had to reconnect to the home Wifi and then trust my mail certificates again (I run my own, so I need to confirm trust), and then could select a printer and print. Resetting the Network Settings while frustrating is not crippling. I am sure that a Reset All Settings would work too, but that of course would blow away all data and the phone in an initialized state. No idea if a restore, or SetUp As would recreate the Network issue or not. The same solution worked for her iPhone 5, but as noted above was not necessary for my iPhone 6.įor her iPhone, the annoyance with re-establishing connections to various secure WiFi systems will be more annoying, but at least she can print again. Neither Printopia or HandyPrint are applications that run on iOS devices. ![]() Rather, they are applications that run on Mac's to make one or more of the installed printers appear as an AirPrint available printer. Since there was no update on either of the Mac systems that run these applications and the iOS devices were working last week, it seems very likely that the loss of this AirPrint ability was not so much rooted in either application or their supporting Mac system, but an issue born of the new iOS 8.4.1 update. So a Hard Reset for an iPhone 6 seems to work and for at least the iPad Air 2 and iPhone 5 it takes a Reset Network Settings.Īnnoying, but at least all iOS devices can print once again. You mentioned power cycling your iOS devices.
