AirPrint

Since the iPhone 3GS, iOS has introduced a great feature AirPrint, with which we can print the received email, a web page or a photo you just took... But there is one pitfall, the required printer must support AirPrint technology, as a rule it is a regular printer with Wi-Fi module and the latest software.

Hello everybody! Today we will look at a rather interesting, but quite popular question - how to connect an iPhone to a printer via wifi to print documents, pictures and photos. In fact, we have two methods and it all depends on the model of the device and how old it is. Apple now cooperates with most companies that produce printing machines.

For quick printing, which does not require installation of additional software, the “printer” must support AirPrint technology. You can see support for this technology in the documentation. Sometimes AirPrint support is indicated on the printer itself or on the box. As a last resort, you can go to this link and see support specifically for your model.

The second method is quite banal - you just need special application from the printer manufacturer. We will discuss both options in this article. The article is suitable for all models iPhone phones(5, 5S, 6, 6S, 7, 7S, 8, 8S, X, XR, XS,) with any iOS system.

HELP! If you have any difficulties or questions during the process, write them in the comments and I will help you. Just try to write as detailed and detailed as possible, since I don’t see what exactly is going on with you.

AirPrint enabled

1. Almost all internal applications from Apple support this function. Next, I’ll show you using the usual “Photo” section as an example. Just go there and then call up the menu;

1. Now you need to click on the “Select Printer” button. We indicate the nearest device that is available. If there is no printer, make sure it is turned on and connected to wireless network. Also make sure that the phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi as the end device.

1. Click on the “Print” button.

If printing does not start, check that there is paper in the tray and the device is turned on. You can try to reboot it by pressing the on/off button twice. Wait until the device boots up before you print the document again. If you see that your iPhone or iPad is not sending documents to print, restart your smartphone and try the same steps again.

If you are using third party programs, then difficulties may arise, since not all software in the App Store supports this function. But you can use the following method to print any documents.

No AirPrint support - what to do

In this case, you just need to download a special application to your smartphone. Let's go to the AppStore. Next, enter the name of the company that produced your printer. For example, HP. A search will immediately find the HP ePrint Enterprise wireless printing application. Next, simply download and install this application. The setup is quite simple - you just need to follow the instructions that the program offers.

Many people have ever had to print out various documents: whether they are photographs, texts, pictures, or something else. This operation had to be performed exclusively with the help of a computer and a printer, which are connected to each other by bulky wires. But times pass and technologies change. Nowadays, you can print absolutely any document using a smartphone and a printer, which work without any wires, only using a local network.

You can print a document using a well-known gadget - iPhone 6. Moreover, this operation is quite easy, like, for example, sending an SMS message from the device. In order to print high-quality files using an iPhone, you can turn to both the built-in functions of the smartphone and programs specially designed for this.

Understanding standard printer printing features

To understand this process, you should first familiarize yourself with the standard iPhone function AirPrint. Wireless printing technologies have made this function available to absolutely all gadget users. In addition, this development is compatible with almost all printers. Often, a printer that supports AirPrint will automatically apply the settings you need. IN otherwise you need to configure everything yourself. To do this, just go to system settings devices, and then enable the desired function.

Auxiliary program for printing - Handy Print

In addition to the standard function that supports printing to a printer using iOS on the iPhone 6, there are also specially developed programs. So if the printer is not compatible with the AirPrint function, you can safely do this with Handy Print. This development is quite common among iPhone users, and is also very practical and convenient. There are two types of this program - this is a beta version, and paid version. There is no difference, it just won’t work for a long time in the beta version and at the end of the trial period the iPhone user will not be able to do anything with it. Handy Print is compatible with all iOS versions, including iOS8, which runs the iPhone 6. So after installing it, a printer located directly on the network will be displayed on the iPhone screen.

In order to print the desired file, the user will have to do everything he did using AirPrint.

The only drawback, besides the beta version, is that when printing you need to ensure uninterrupted operation of the computer, otherwise nothing will work.

Printer Pro is a convenient option

As a last resort, if you do not have a printer that supports AirPrint or a computer with OSX, you can use the Printer Pro for iPhone program, which also serves to print various documents from the iPhone.

This development is paid, but before purchasing you can download it trial version, in order to make sure that it and the printer are compatible. Printer Pro for iPhone lets you print four sample documents, plus you can use it to test the functionality of the app itself and calibrate the area you want to print. Concerning full version program, then it does not work like the two discussed above. To carry out the printing process, an iPhone user will need to open documents already in the program and print, of course, also in the program. PrinterProforiPhone has a rather interesting feature that allows you to print from other programs, for example, PDF Reader, Dropbox. To do this, click the “Open in..” button.

In addition, with the help of this development, you can perform any other actions, including rotating the format, selecting it, printing individual pages, and much more. In general, to put it briefly, this program works similarly to a printer.

EpsonPrint

But what if you don’t want to buy a program that prints to a printer? For this, the developers of the printers themselves and programmers from various companies have created special programs who will help iPhone owner do what he wishes. A colorful example is the development of Epson Print. Its advantage is that it automatically finds devices that will be compatible with the iPhone 6 directly on the local wireless network. EpsonPrint allows you to print various documents, which can also be opened in Dropbox, Google Drive and other programs using the “Open in...” option

This development also has a built-in browser for direct downloading and printing of web pages; moreover, you can register with a special service with which you can print files on various printers that support printing functions via email.

Google Cloud Print new features

It's no secret that all developments have taken a big step forward. Including for printing to a printer from an iPhone 6. But, in addition to using the above-mentioned programs, there is another way by which you can print from an iPhone to a printer. This is Google Gloud Print, which makes any printer compatible with iPhone.

In this case, the selected printer connects to the Google cloud, which allows you to reduce the steps required to set up printing. To print a document, you need to log into your personal Google account on your iPhone.

So you can easily print using various means necessary files from an iPhone through a printer without using wires, but exclusively over a local network.

It often happens that you do not have a computer at hand from which you can print a particular document. Fortunately, you can always download the required file to your iPhone or iPad and print it on any printer that supports Bluetooth connection, not necessarily via AirPrint.
