Make sure you have an AirPrint-enabled printer. You can double check your printer’s compatibility to make sure it can print content from your iPhone wirelessly.

The printer and phone must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
If you don’t have an AirPrint-compatible printer, you can still use AirPrint by finding an AirPrint-enabled printer network at work, school, etc.
The printer needs to be set up before printing wirelessly. Because this process is different for each model, you should refer to the user manual to know how to install it for the machine you are using.
