- The technique is very identical whether you want to print from your **iPhone or [iPad](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/97386/do-the-ipad-models-have-a-sim-card)**. The only distinction is the location of the share button (square with up arrow). Depending on whether you're in portrait or landscape mode, this button may move around.
- Ascertain that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same wireless network as your printer.
- Locate the document, image, or other file that you want to print.
- Select the share option (square with up arrow, available in almost all apps)
- If you don't see the share option, tap your screen to see if it appears, or capture a screenshot (on recent iPhones, press the side button and volume up), then print from the Photos app.
- Swipe down after hitting the share button and tap Print
- If you haven't previously done so, select a printer.
- In the top right corner, tap Print.
