IPhone – How do i find a printer which supports wireless printing from the iPhone

airprintiphoneprinting

I am looking to purchase a printer, but more fundamentally, I don't know what features or technology translate into easy printing from my iPhone. How can I determine which printers do or do not work well with an iPhone?

Here is my question: I would like to have a printer that I can print to directly from my iPhone. When I google "air print" (based off of what the iPhone says) I see HP Wireless Printers.

That leads me to the question can I use the iPhone to print on any printer with wireless capabilities or does it have to be one of these HP Printers with "ePrint"?

Best Answer

Does it have to be one of those HP printers? No. It can be a Brother, or an Epson, or others.

First, did you read the page at Apple, regarding printing from your iPhone?

Second, after reading that page, at the bottom, did you follow the link to AirPrint-Enabled printers that was provided?

Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint.

Note: Some printers listed in this article will require a firmware update out of the box to become AirPrint-enabed. See the manufacture's documentation or website for details.

The AirPrint-enabled printer must be connected to the same home Wi-Fi network as the iOS device. This is the default configuration in most home Wi-Fi networks.

Now, assuming that you DID both of these things, and you did see the model printers that were being offered by all those different manufacturers... what is your actual question. Are you asking if one of those printers listed there actually works to allow printing from your iPhone?

If you really want to stick with an HP, it can be any one of these...
