2 Solutions for You if You Want to Print from an iPhone

AirPrint is an Apple technology that lets you create full-quality printed output without the need to download or install drivers. AirPrint is built into many printers of popular brands. Printers with brand like Canon, Dell, HP, Lexmark, and Samsung are AirPrint-compatible. Go to this Apple support page and see if your printer is compatible with AirPrint.

With AirPrint-compatible printer you can rely on the WiFi and print wirelessly from iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac. This is for users with iPhone 3GS and later models including iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.

• Configure the printer to use AirPrint. Some printer models automatically work with AirPrint, but others have to be configured first. Determine whether you need to change settings on your printer to enable it to use AirPrint. Make sure the printer is on the same wireless network as your iPhone.
• Open an iPhone application that supports AirPrint. Most apps from Apple fit this category, including Mail, Safari, and iPhoto. You can also print emails, documents, and pictures from your phone.
• Open the item you want to print and select Share > Print. If you want to print an email, touch the arrow on the bottom of the screen that points left (as you would to reply). If you're looking at a webpage, find the icon with a right arrow partially inside a box. When more options show up, hit Print.
