To print from your iPhone, the easiest and most common method is to use Apple's built-in AirPrint feature, which allows wireless printing to AirPrint- enabled printers. Here's how to do it:

Printing from iPhone Using AirPrint

  1. Ensure your iPhone and printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. AirPrint requires both devices to be on the same network.
  2. Open the app with the document, photo, or webpage you want to print. This can be Mail, Photos, Safari, Files, or many other apps.
  3. Tap the Share icon (a square with an upward arrow).
  4. Scroll down and tap "Print". If you don’t see it, swipe up to reveal more options.
  5. Tap "Select Printer" and choose your AirPrint-enabled printer from the list.
  6. Set the number of copies or other print options if available.
  7. Tap "Print" in the upper-right corner to start printing.

You can check the status of your print jobs by opening the App Switcher and tapping on Print Center, where you can also cancel jobs if needed

Printing Without AirPrint

If your printer does not support AirPrint, you can still print from your iPhone by:

  • Downloading the printer manufacturer's app (such as Epson iPrint, HP Smart, Canon PRINT, or Brother iPrint & Scan) from the App Store. These apps allow wireless printing and often provide additional print settings.
  • Using a USB cable and a USB OTG adapter to connect your iPhone directly to the printer if wireless printing is not an option

Summary

  • Use AirPrint for seamless wireless printing if your printer supports it.
  • If not, use your printer’s dedicated app or connect via USB with the proper adapter.
  • Always make sure your iPhone and printer are on the same Wi-Fi network for wireless printing

This method covers most printing needs directly from an iPhone without additional setup.
