iOS 8 messes up AirPrint for iPhones and iPads?


It appears Apple's latest operating system for its mobile devices remains a long way from being polished to perfection.

Some users of iPhones and iPads have complained of problems using iOS 8 to print over WiFi, a tech site reported over the weekend.

Mashable cited discussion threads on Apple forums showing the latest issue involves the AirPrint tool, where print jobs are stalled or simply do not work.

"A commonly reported problem is an error message (URF error) that halts printing. Many users pointed out that AirPrint works with devices still running iOS 7," it said.

It also cited claims that some of the printers listed on Apple's list of accepted models are no longer compatible with AirPrint after the device updated to iOS 8.

Mashable said an Apple representative suggested that users contact AppleCare or set up an appointment with an Apple Genius.

On the other hand, it quoted a comment on a discussion board indicating Apple could fix the problem with its upcoming iOS 8.1. — Joel Locsin /LBG, GMA News
