As one of the most technologically advanced smartphones on the market, the number of things you can do with your iPhone are almost unending. One aspect of using the phone that many people oversee or simply forget about is that you can purchase iPhone printers and use corresponding iPhone printer apps to print whatever is currently displayed on your iPhone screen.

Basic Information

There are two possible types of printers that can be successfully setup to be used with your iPhone. An AirPrint printer or a regular printer. Using an AirPrint printer, which is designed and manufactured by Apple, makes it very easy to print documents from your iPhone because the printer is already compatible with your device. Simply highlight the text or page you want to be printed and select “Print” in the page options. If you are in wireless range of the printer you will have a document printed within seconds.

If you are going to be using a normal printer that you would use with your PC, you first must ensure the printer is capable of being operated wirelessly. You then need to install any of the iPhone printer apps located in the App store. These apps will be covered later in the article.

Below are the top three printers that are compatible to be used with your iPhone or iPad devices.
