Apple’s AirPrint allows you to print photos or documents wirelessly from your iPhone or iPad. If you come across a photo or an article you’d really like to share with your roommate or significant other, AirPrint lets you create a hard copy of the article with just a few taps on your screen.
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.
