imageCLASS MF227dw: iOS 18 AirPrint problem

[Prescott]

My Imageclass 227dw laser printer worked great with iPhone and iPad until iOS 18 update.  My devices show my printer in the print window, but when I click “print”, the window goes away and nothing prints.  Apple tech tells me they’ve recorded numerous complaints about this problem with Canon printers.  Any known fixes out there?

Same problem here. I haven’t been able to scan for years either. I’m thinking after a decade it might be time to look for something new and supported. It was a good run and it’ll be a great pickup for someone at the thrift store!

My problem seems to have been resolved by a simple work-around.  When I’m in a website or document and I select AirPrint I then click on the square with the up-arrow (in the Air Print window) and am presented with a number of choices that include the Canon Print app.  When I select Canon Print, I’m able to make my print-setting choices and print.

Having the same problem with IOS 18.02 and my Imageclass printer. But I’m not following your workaround. Screenshots, please?

(To print from an iPhone or iPad)

You need the Canon Print app installed from the App Store and set up for your printer:

If using Canon Print (instead of AirPrint) to print your desired document/image isn’t possible, click on the box with the up-arrow to access AirPrint.  From the AirPrint box, click on the box with the up-arrow:

That should bring you to a dialogue box that looks similar to this below, where you can select Canon Print.

Once in Canon Print, you should be able to output to your printer.
