5 steps · Your own pace
Print a document from your phone
Step 1 of 5: Check printer support
Read the printer’s model information or manufacturer’s official help. For iPhone, check AirPrint support. For Android, check the built-in printing service or the manufacturer’s official app. Do not install software from a random search advert.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Open the item
Open the document, photo or webpage you want to print. Check that it is the correct version. If the app cannot print, use a supported app or save the document as a PDF before opening it.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Choose your phone’s route
iPhone: tap Share or the app’s action menu, then find Print. Android: look in the app’s menu, sometimes under Share, for Print. Menu positions differ, so use the app’s help if the option is missing.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Select and check
Choose the actual printer, then review paper size, page range, colour and copies. On Android, search Settings for Printing if no service is enabled. If the printer is missing, confirm both devices use the same network.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Print one page first
Print a single page to check the layout before sending a long document. Retrieve confidential pages promptly. If nothing prints, check the printer screen rather than repeatedly submitting the same job.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Can I print by Bluetooth?
Only when the manufacturer supports that route. Standard AirPrint uses a network connection; follow your particular printer’s official instructions.
