With the advent of new features; however, Apple has made the printing experience from iPhones much easier. This has enabled iPhone users to no longer depend on computers to print their documents.
How Do I Print From My iPhone?
There are different ways to print from an iPhone. You can print using the Airprint or a printer app, which needs a Wi-Fi connection. If you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection, then you can also use Wi-Fi direct to print directly from your phone. Both of these methods do not require you to connect any cables. As older generations of printers lack wireless printing, you need to ensure that your printer is updated and supports this feature.Before starting the actual printing process, we need to configure our printer and connect it to a wireless network.
