How to Print iPhone Files
Our guide continues below with additional information on how to print from an iPhone 6, including pictures of these steps. iPhones have quickly become the primary device for many people, which means that many actions which were previously only in the domain of desktop or laptop computers have made their way onto our phones. One of these actions is the ability to print something that is on your iPhone. This can be accomplished with a feature called AirPrint. AirPrint makes printing much less of a hassle than you might be used to with your Mac or PC, as it does not actually require you to install any drivers on your device. Instead, you simply need to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the printer that you wish to use. Additionally, your printer will need to be AirPrint-compatible. This is becoming an increasingly common feature in newer printer models, although you may not be able to print from your iPhone to certain newer models, as well as many older models of printers, which lack AirPrint. You can continue reading below to learn how to find the print button on your iPhone 6 to start printing files directly from your device. Related Topic: Newer iPhone models can also print.
