With those two requirements met, let’s try printing something from the Mail app. I saw a situation once where the printer was connected to WiFi, and the iPhone was connected to WiFi, but printing from the iPhone didn’t work… because the printer was connected to the house’s WiFi, and the iPhone had connected to the next door neighbor’s. Printing from an iPhone won’t work at all if your iPhone is not on the same network at the printer.
Your iPhone joins networks wirelessly– that is, via WiFi., while printers can join a network by WiFi or via Ethernet.
Second, your iPhone has to be on the same network as the printer. You can’t hurt anything by trying, so try. If it says “AirPrint” on it, it will work. Also important: not every printer is going to work.

(Actually, there’s one more way that will work: printer connected to Mac via USB, and Printer Sharing turned on in the System Preferences/Sharing and also in System Preferences/Printers & Scanners.) Important: we are not trying to physically connect the iPhone and the printer. That means the printer has to be connected to the network either by WiFi or by an Ethernet cable. Here’s what you need in order to print from an iPhone.įirst, you need a printer, and the printer has to be available over the network.
Nonetheless, a lot of iPhone apps can print, including: Turns out it doesn’t work everywhere app developers have to do a bit of work to add the printing feature, and not every app developer has done it. Printing from an iPhone (or iPad) is handled by iOS, which means printing should be, could be, might be, available anytime you need it.
