How to print with AirPrint on iPhone or iPad
AirPrint on iPhone makes it simple to print your email, photos, web pages, and documents. There’s no software to download, no drivers to install, and no cables to connect. With just a few taps, you can go from viewing something on the screen to holding a printed copy. And because all the printing takes place in the background, there’s no waiting around. Instead, you can start printing and go right back to flicking through photos, surfing the web, or doing whatever you were doing before.
What you see is what you print.
If you can open it on your iPhone, chances are you can print it with AirPrint. AirPrint works with built-in apps including Safari,Mail, Photos, iWork, and PDFs in iBooks. Depending on what you print, AirPrint adjusts accordingly. For example, if you want to print a picture and your printer has a photo paper tray, AirPrint automatically selects photo paper. You can also line up multiple print jobs and manage your queue.
And AirPrint isn’t just for Apple apps. Take our app, Print to PDF, for example, it is not only a great app for printing any format files to PDF documents, but also one supports AirPrint like the Apple apps.

Additional Information

2. Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
3. Has the latest firmware version installed.

Notes:
- Avoid connecting AirPrint-capable printers to the USB port of Apple AirPort Base Stations or Time Capsules. Doing so can enable traditional AirPort printing from a Mac, but it will not enable AirPrint functions for iOS devices. If you cannot use Wi-Fi networking to connect the AirPrint-capable printer, use an Ethernet connection from the AirPrint-capable printer to the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
- Wi-Fi printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.
