Definitely a bug of some sort. I'm in a similar situation. It does find the printer but says something about it's unable to print to it. I can add one manually via wifi and I can print to it but when I try to make it as default it always "unchecks" itself. The screen hinda flashes like a refresh. Something weird going on for sure. Glad it's not just me. Thanks, Richard
