Printing With AirPrint

You can print high quality without downloading or installing drivers with Apple’s AirPrint technology. Nowadays, this technology is built into the most popular printer models, as well as the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Note: The steps that will be discussed are also applicable to the iPad and iPod touch.

1. To start, check to see if your printer is compatible with AirPrint. Check out Apple’s list of AirPrint-compatible printers to verify. You can proceed with the instructions for printing without AirPrint if your printer is not included in the list.
2. Ensure that your iPhone and printer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network and are within range of each other.
3. Open the file, picture, or webpage you want to print (or the application you wish to print from).
4. Look for and click the “Share” button, which is a square with an upward-pointing arrow in the center, a three dot icon, or a left-pointing arrow icon.
5. Find a printer icon next to “Print” in the pop-up. Check the app’s help if you can’t print.
6. Tap “Print,” then “Select Printer” at the top of the next screen.
7. Click on your printer.
8. Next, choose the pages that you want to print and the number of copies that you want printed of each page.
9. Finally, click the blue “Print” button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
