How to edit print size on iphone

Though many of us live mostly paperless lives, there are still occasions when we all need to print something out. Fortunately, wirelessly printing photos and documents straight from your iPhone or iPad is as easy as sending a text message.

Apple's AirPrint printing technology, plus a few handy third-party apps, makes it quick and simple to achieve. Here's how to print from your iPhone or iPad to just about any printer.

iPhone Printing With AirPrint

There are lots of ways to connect a printer to an iPhone. The simplest is with Apple's own AirPrint feature. There's no AirPrint app to download—it's all built-in and ready to go.

Just check Apple's list of AirPrint-compatible printers. If yours is there, all you need to do is make sure it's connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone or iPad. You won't need to add the printer, as it should show up automatically on your device.

You can print from many first- and third-party apps; just find the Print option located under the Share button.

The process is similar for most apps. If you want to print a document, for instance, you'd open the document, hit Share, then find the Print icon and tap it.

This opens the printer options on your iPhone or iPad. Here, you need to choose your printer (assuming you have more than one on your network). You can also set the number of copies you want to make, or which pages you want to print. When you're happy, tap Print.

Some iOS apps don't include a printing feature, so you will need to export the selected content. To do this, save the document to the Files app. The Files app allows you to print to AirPrint. If the original app does not allow you to export the content, you can screenshot it and print it as a photo.

How to Print Photos From an iPhone or iPad

You can print pictures directly from the iOS or iPadOS Photos app. To print a single image, follow the same instructions as above.

You can also print a whole batch of images in one go. To do this, open your Albums and tap Select in the top-right corner. Now select all the photos you want to print—you'll see check marks alongside the ones you've added. (Tap them again to deselect them.)

Finally, tap the Share button, select the Print icon, and proceed from there.

iPhone Printing With Your Printer's Dedicated App

But what if you need to set up a wireless printer for your iPad or iPhone and it doesn't support AirPrint? The next best option is to see if your printer has its own dedicated app.

Most printer manufacturers (including Epson, HP, and Canon) offer apps designed to work with their own hardware on the same network. These apps might offer more features—especially support for proprietary options—that you won't get elsewhere, like changing the print size to print full pages.

HP Smart works in the same way for networked HP printers in a business setting. It supports cloud services like Dropbox, plus Facebook Photos.

If you're not near your networked printer, ePrint also allows for sending documents to one of 30,000 public print locations, such as a UPS Store or FedEx Office.

You can set up and activate printing locations from within the app, and select your documents or photos to be sent to the printer location.

iPhone Printing With Third-Party Printing Apps

If the above options aren't working for you, some of these third-party apps should be able to help.

1. PrintDirect

PrintDirect is free to download and test, but you need to unlock the full functionality through an in-app purchase. It works as a kind of companion to AirPrint in that it detects printers connected to the same Wi-Fi network. However, it should also work with printers that are not AirPrint compatible.

To print with PrintDirect, open the document you want to print and tap the Share icon. Then tap Save to Files.

Once you save your file, you can open it with PrintDirect to print it on your printer of choice. Go to Files > Share and scroll until you see More. Tap More and scroll down to PrintDirect. Then open the document, configure your printer settings, and print.

PrintDirect works with most apps, and also supports AirPrint.

Working along similar lines, Printer Pro is a powerful and fully featured printing app for iPad or iPhone.

To test out Printer Pro, download Printer Pro Lite to check that it adequately supports your printer. From the lite version, you can print sample documents included in the app.

Open the app to set up your printer by following the on-screen instructions. To print files, save them to the Files app and then open with Printer Pro from there.

To print from Safari, just change the URL header from http to phttp. This will quickly open the page in Printer Pro, where you can print it.

iPhone Printing Made Easy

Printing from mobile devices may be less common than it once was, but it's still easy when you need to do so. Whether you need to print something for school, work, or just fun, you have plenty of options.

With a printer that supports AirPrint, third-party apps, or its own app, you can easily create a hard copy of your essential documents in just a few minutes.
