Advice

• If your iPhone can't detect the printer, you may need to connect the 2 devices using a USB-to-Lightning adapter. In that case, plug the smaller pin of the adapter cable into the iPhone's charging port, plug the other pin into the printer's USB port.

Warning

• Some printers do not support printing from iPhone because they are too old or the software is not compatible with iOS. In that case, consider replacing your current printer with a low-cost AirPrint printer.
