I get you. I have many similar stories. Where things should have been simple, a 4 steps process. And yet.

Last time was the printer no longer working from my mom’s iPhone. It’s supposed to detect the printer automatically when on the same network, it no longer did. And the stored/“remembered” entry did not work either.

After many troubleshoting steps, I gave up, sent the document to another computer and printed from there. So, clearly, the printer worked (for once) and accepted commands from the LAN.
