Printing from iPhone: A Comprehensive Guide
Connecting Your iPhone to a Printer
AirPrint
The most straightforward way to connect your iPhone to a printer is through AirPrint. However, your printer must support AirPrint for this to work.
HandyPrint App
Another option is to use the HandyPrint app. This app allows you to connect to a wide range of printers, including non-AirPrint printers.
Printing Over Wi-Fi
Connecting to a Wi-Fi Printer
To connect to a Wi-Fi printer, both your iPhone and the printer must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Enabling AirPrint
To enable AirPrint, go to your iPhone's Settings > Printers & Scanners and tap on the AirPrint option.
Printing Specific Documents or Media
Printing Photos or Emails
Open the app or file you want to print, such as a photo, email attachment, or webpage. Tap on the Share icon and select Print.
Printing from Screen
If you want to print a screenshot or a specific portion of your screen, take a screenshot and tap on the Share icon. Select Print from the options.
