It's useful to be able to print pictures, emails or boarding passes direct from your iPhone without the need to be next to a printer. It's really straightforward and should be achievable with little more than a few taps on your iPhone.
- Check your printer is AirPrint compatible.
You obviously need to have a printer that supports AirPrint (most newer printers do) before you can use the method. All the leading brands such as Brother, Epson, Samsung, HP, Lexmark, Canon and Dell sell AirPrint enabled printers and it's likely you would also require an iPhone 3G or later. If you are unsure about your printer's AirPrint capability, the instruction manual of printer will advise you of this. If your printer is not AirPrint compatible you can still use the facility providing that you have access to an AirPrint supported printer, maybe in the office or workplace. - Set up your printer for AirPrint.
If your printer has AirPrint built in then it's likely that it will automatically connect with AirPrint. Check in the operating manual if you need to adjust the printer settings for your printer to use AirPrint and importantly check that your printer is on the same Wi-Fi as your iPhone.
