Updated to Tahoe (macOS 26) and now printers do not print

I have the same problem same printer but when I go to the local network toggle.. nothing is listed. I never installed anything when I got the printer originally. I just went to 'Add Printer' it was magically there and so was the driver. when i choose add printer on Tahoe.. No printer shows up. How did you get the printer to show up?

Adobe acrobat does not print under Tahoe (16.2 now, no improvement). Preview prints fine. Adobe is reliably awful. Reinstalling after 16.1 worked. Now re-installing after 16.2. HEY ADOBE, I KNOW YOU ARE TERRIBLE AT TESTING SOFTWARE -- LET US KNOW IF WE WILL HAVE TO REINSTALL AFTER EVERY OS UPGRADE FOR THE REST OF TIME.

I completed the macOS 26.1 Tahoe update last night. Today I attempted to print a document using my Canon MG3600 printer. It failed to print. I restarted the printer and reconnected to it on my MacBook. The printer still failed to print. I reset the print service. I also tested the various CLI recommendations I found here and on Reddit. Still nothing. I successfully printed from a separate Linux desktop. It’s definitely the MacBook.

My previous MacBook experienced a complete loss of battery life upon updating to macOS Sonoma a couple of years ago. It would not otherwise have been at end of life.

These two issues have undermined my confidence in macOS and might influence my willingness to purchase another MacBook in the future.

For me, it turned out to be only an issue with Adobe acrobat reader. Of course, they are well known for their terrible bugs and awful testing pre-release. I opened a PDF in preview and it printed fine! So I reinstalled Adobe reader and that appears to have fixed the problem. Sorry that doesn't help you, good luck finding a solution. I'm not sure I blame apple. The problem is they still have small market share compared to Microsoft. So even though vendors like Adobe have many months to test their products before major releases of macOS, I think it's just not a priority for them.

of course, the best example of this is Microsoft Office on macOS. An absolute joke.

My printer wasn't working only in Word; I could print in Adobe, in Excel, in email, etc. My Word was only partially working in other areas too: I couldn't adjust margins, etc. No issues with other Microsoft applications. But an update seems to have been done in Word just in the last few days from 16.103.1 to 16.103.2, and that has resolved it. Thank goodness.

Hi! What does a clean install mean? I have the same problem with printers. Everything is offline and nothing helps

I have the same error when the shared printer is added from the "Printers & Scanners" as when it is configured in cups.

This is indeed the solution. Thank you so much for posting it!

My Canon TS8300 series went offline after a couple minutes and never re-connects. I tried reinstalling but with same disconnects after couple minutes. Will never print anything.

The version with the issue is MacOS 26.01. I incorrectly stated 26.1 in my last post.

Does anyone at Apple read and comment in these forums?

No. If you would like to communicate with Apple, you’ll need to call them.

Thank you ReRex!!!

This actually works! I was so frustrated about this issue persisting. Now all fixed.

This worked for me!

Thanks

I am also having the same issued, only with MS Apps. There are no settings in the print app.
