    Most network printers support Apple's AirPrint.

    • Tap the Share button (square with arrow)
    • Scroll and tap Print
    • Tap Select Printer
    • Choose your printer
    • Adjust copies, pages, etc.
    • Tap Print

    Requirements

    • iPhone and printer on same WiFi network

    Android: Built-in Printing

    • Open the document or image
    • Tap the three dots menu
    • Tap Print or Share > Print
    • Select your printer
    • Adjust settings
    • Tap the Print button

    Adding a Printer

    If your printer doesn't appear:

    • Go to Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Printing
    • Add a print service (like HP Print Service)
    • Make sure it's enabled

    Using Printer Apps

    Many printer manufacturers have their own apps:

    • HP Smart
    • Canon PRINT
    • Epson iPrint
    • Brother iPrint&Scan

    Benefits of Printer Apps

    Printing from Cloud Storage

    From Google Drive

    • Open Google Drive
    • Open the document
    • Tap three dots > Print

    Email Printing

    Some printers have email addresses. You can email documents directly to the printer:

    • Get the printer's email address (from IT or printer settings)
    • Email your document as an attachment
    • It prints automatically

    Troubleshooting

    Can't find printer?

    • Make sure you're on the office WiFi
    • Check if the printer is on
    • Install the printer's app
    Print quality poor?
    • Adjust quality in print settings
    • Use the printer app for more options
