AirPrint requires a compatible wireless printer, but most relatively new printers these days support the Apple feature. As long as your printer already has wireless printing turned on and is on the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple device, it's super simple to send a file to print straight from your iPhone or iPad.

How to Print from iPad & iPhone with AirPrint

1. While AirPrint will work regardless of what app you're printing from, this will walk you through printing a web page in Safari.
   
   
2. Once on the page you'd like to print, simply tap the Share button.
   
   
3. On the Share sheet, scroll down and tap the Print option.
   
   
4. Here, on the Print Options screen, tap Printer to open printer selection.
   
   
5. As long as your printer is AirPrint compatible, has wireless printing turned on, and is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad or iPhone, it should appear right here in the list of available printers! Just tap it and then pick the other print options as usual.
   
   

That's all there is to it. AirPrint is super simple and doesn't require configuring any special settings on your Apple device at all. With this Apple feature, printing from the iPhone or iPad is easier than ever.
