If you purchased your Android device in the last year or so, Cloud Print should come pre-installed on your device. Users of Google Android devices can take advantage of Google’s Cloud Print service. Don’t have a Wi-Fi enabled printer at all? HandyPrint (for Mac users) and Presto (for Windows users) offer workarounds to force your iOS devices to find your printer via AirPrint. Search the App Store for your manufacturer’s name and you should be able to find a corresponding app. HP has its ePrint app, Epson has its iPrint app, Canon has its Mobile Print app, and so on. If you have a Wi-Fi-enabled printer that doesn’t support AirPrint, it’s likely that the manufacturer has its own app in Apple’s App Store that makes wireless printing possible. A Print Summary window will appear selecting it will provide more information regarding any open print jobs.Īnd what if you don’t have an AirPrint-compatible printer? All is not lost. Should something go awry, you can check on the status of a print job by double-pressing the home button and swiping once to the right. There isn’t a dedicated printing app within iOS instead, you begin the process within an app. Tap on it, select your printer, and set the number of copies to be printed. You can find the print icon in the bottom row. Select it and next appears a “Share Sheet” with two rows of icons. With both devices are connected to the same network, you can print items from within various apps on your iOS device by tapping on the action button, the name for the icon depicting a rectangle (like a screen) with an arrow pointing up, where available.
If you own or have access to a supported printer, you’re in luck.
