How to print from Smartphone or Tablet

Very few mobile devices feature USB ports to connect your printer directly and none of them come with pre-installed printer software even if they do, here is how to print from your smartphone.

We will discuss for Apple & Andriod Devices but make sure that you have a wireless-enabled printer.

In conclusion, most printer manufacturers have developed printing applications that work exclusively with their machines.

If you have an HP® printer, look into their ePrint app. Canon’s app is called Canon® Print Service and Epson® offers the Epson iPrint app. All are relatively quick to set up and easy to use!

No matter which one you choose, there is no denying the fact that printing from your smart device is very easy.
