How to print a paper copy or a PDF from an iPhone or iPad - The Verge

Apple has one of the better mobile printing solutions built into iOS for iPhone and iPad via AirPrint. Follow along to find out how to print to compatible wireless printers and also learn how to print to PDF.

Printing is all but dead in this all-digital world, but there are still some things you can’t easily digitize: shipping labels, flyers for a bulletin board, printing out an email for your boss, and sticking prank memes in your colleagues’ cubicles. And in this era of doing almost everything on your phone, it’s good to have the option to print from it instead of needing to jump onto a computer.

Apple has succeeded in building one of the easiest methods of printing from a smartphone by getting many printer manufacturers to adopt its AirPrint wireless printing feature. Apple also has a really easy way to create PDF documents instead of a traditional print copy — if you know how to get to it. In this article, we’ll show you both.

It’s important to note that printing via AirPrint may not support all of the printers’ features, but you likely will get options for: number of copies, range, paper size, orientation, scaling, and other basic functions.

To begin, you’ll need to have access to a wireless or networked printer that supports Apple’s AirPrint driverless printing system. If you don’t have a printer yet, check out how to choose the right one. If you’ve purchased a wireless printer in the past five years (or even up to 10 years in the case of HP), chances are that it supports AirPrint already. Some printer manufacturers might also include an app that can print files from your device or through its own cloud service, but these usually aren’t as easy or nice to use as AirPrint.

Next, make sure your iPhone and printer are connected to the same wireless network. If your printer has an ethernet port, you could alternatively connect it directly to your wireless router with an ethernet cable and still have the ability to AirPrint from your iPhone. In enterprise environments, you may need to have your IT department open up the feature to allow printing from your iPhone.
