Print From iPhone Using Wi-Fi
iPhones have a feature called AirPrint that allows you to print from your iPhone over Wi-Fi. However, to make this feature work, you’ll need to ensure your printer also supports Wi-Fi connectivity. Once you confirm that, here’s how to print photos using an iPhone with a Wi-Fi connection.
Step 1: Connect your printer with your Wi-Fi network.
Step 2: Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
Step 3: Open the photo or document that you wish to print and tap on Share at the bottom.
Step 4: Tap on Print. A new window with different print options will open on your screen. Tap on the Printer option at the top to see available printers.


Step 5: Select your printer from the list. After this, you will see some more printing options, such as Presets, Number of Copies, Paper Size, and Media and quality.
Step 6: After selecting your options, tap on Print.
Print From iPhone Using Hotspot
There are two ways to print from an iPhone without Wi-Fi. The first one is by creating a hotspot between your printer and iPhone. This means that there is no Wi-Fi network around you. But ensure your printer supports Wi-Fi connectivity.
Before we begin the steps, ensure your printer has a blinking LED indicator next to the Wi-Fi logo. We used an HP Printer for this article.
Step 1: Open Settings on your iPhone > tap on Wi-Fi.
Step 2: Tap on your printer name from the list > enter the password to connect.
You can check for the printer password by going to the Wireless menu of your printer.
Step 3: Open the Photos app > tap on the photo or document that you wish to print > tap the Share icon.


Step 4: Scroll down and tap on Print. Choose your printer, printing options, and then tap Print.
This is how you can print from your iPhone without a Wi-Fi connection.
Print From iPhone Without Wi-Fi Using an OTG Cable
Lastly, we have a method where you can connect your iPhone and printer with a USB OTG cable. After connecting your iPhone, follow these simple steps.
Step 1: After connecting your iPhone, tap on Yes on the pop-up menu appearing on your screen.
Step 2: Open the Photos app > choose your photo > tap on Share > Print > choose your options > tap Print.
This is how you can print from an iPhone if your printer doesn’t support Wi-Fi connectivity. However, you need a USB OTG cable to connect to your iPhone.
