    If Microsoft Word is no longer printing on your iPad mini 6, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Check Printer Compatibility: Ensure that your printer is compatible with iOS devices. Some printers may require specific drivers or settings to work with mobile devices.
    2. Update Microsoft Word: Make sure that you have the latest version of Microsoft Word installed on your iPad. Updates can fix bugs and improve functionality.
    3. Restart Devices: Restart both your iPad and the printer. This can resolve temporary connectivity issues.
    4. Check Network Connection: Ensure that your iPad and printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is crucial for printing from mobile devices.
    5. Reinstall the Printer: If the printer is not showing up, try removing it from your iPad's settings and then re-adding it.
    6. Use AirPrint: If your printer supports AirPrint, ensure that it is enabled. You can print directly from Word using the AirPrint feature.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to consult Microsoft support or the printer manufacturer's support for further assistance.
