Can you replicate this bug?

If you have an AirPrinter available to you, please try to replicate this iOS 15/iPadOS 15 bug and let me know your results:

1. Open a document on your iPhone or iPad. It could be a Word document, Pages document, or PDF.

2. Make sure this document has QUOTATION MARKS " ".

3. Make sure this document is written in Times New Roman. This bug will not replicate with other fonts (other fonts print properly).

4. Print this document to your AirPrinter.

5. Review: Do the quotation marks print like this? "example„

The second pair of quotation marks prints at the height of a comma. This is common in some European versions of TNR, but not English. I do not know why iOS 15/iPadOS 15 is printing like this. English (US) is the only language/keyboard enabled on my devices.

This does NOT happen on screen--ONLY WHEN PRINTING. It displays fine on screen.

This does NOT happen when printing with other fonts--only TIMES NEW ROMAN.

I am able to replicate in multiple printers.

When printing the same document on my MacBook, it prints properly. So this is not a macOS problem yet (maybe in Monterey though!)

This is a bug that is really affecting what I do, given that I'm someone who uses my iPad for 99% of my work. It's almost as if a European version of Times New Roman got included in iOS/iPadOS 15.

Tested it for you and can confirm the same result. That’s a weird one.

Confirmed, but it only happens in the Regular and Underlined Times New Roman Font. Bold and Italics Times New Roman are normal:

FWIW, I created a new document in MS Word for mobile to generate the above.

iOS 15.0

EDIT: Just submitted a report to Apple via Feedback Assistant.

Have you tried to turn off smart punctations (Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, and toggle off “Smart Punctuation.”)?
