How To Print From Your Iphone

With the advent of new features; however, Apple has made the printing experience from iPhones much easier. This has enabled iPhone users to no longer depend on computers to print their documents.

How Do I Print From My iPhone?

There are different ways to print from an iPhone. You can print using the Airprint or a printer app, which needs a Wi-Fi connection. If you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection, then you can also use Wi-Fi direct to print directly from your phone. Both of these methods do not require you to connect any cables. As older generations of printers lack wireless printing, you need to ensure that your printer is updated and supports this feature. Before starting the actual printing process, we need to configure our printer and connect it to a wireless network. For this instance, we’ve used a printer from Brother.

Use AirPrint

Airprint is a convenient way to print files wirelessly from your iOS devices. You can seamlessly print from your iPhone without having to install any additional drivers or software. However, there are a couple of prerequisites to this process.

Your iPhone and the printer must be connected to the same wireless network. The printer must be Airprint compatible. You can check the compatibility of your printer by visiting Apple’s list of supported printers.

To print a file via Airprint, follow the steps:

Use Wi-Fi Direct

Some printer models support Wi-Fi-direct, where you can directly print from your iPhone by connecting it to the printer’s network. Turn on the Wi-Fi direct on your printer, then follow the steps:

Use Printer Apps

Most printer manufacturers offer their printer apps to help with the printing job. You can search for their app in the app store. Some of the standard apps for their printers are listed below:

Canon: Canon PRINT Inkjet/SelPHY Xerox: Xerox WorkplaceBrother: Brother iPrint&ScanEpson: Epson iPrintHP: HP Smart

The overall process for printing from the mobile app is similar for all the models of printers. This guide will cover printing from the previously configured Brother printer. Head to the AppStore and install the Brother iPRint&Scan app.

You print text messages by taking screenshots of the conversation. To take a screenshot, quickly press and release the power and volume up buttons together. In older iPhones, you must simultaneously press the power and home buttons.
