I have a new Canon MF229dw multi-function printer with Airprint support. Trying to print either from my iPad Air or iPhone 6 running iOS8.1.1 I get the following:
- After selecting print about 10 seconds of "Contacting Printer" displayed on iPhone / iPad
- Another 20 seconds of "Preparing..." displayed on iPhone / iPad
- Another 30 seconds (60 seconds total) before the job finally prints.
Note that printing from a Windows 7 laptop (wireless) to this same printer takes at most a few seconds.
I'm not sure what the culprit is yet, though from what I've read the update to iOS8 has caused a lot of Airprint issues. But I figured I'd check to see if there are any settings on my RT-N66U (with Merlin build 376.48_3) that might have an impact. Thanks for the help.
