1. Install your printer maker's app from the Play Store or App Store: HP Smart, Canon PRINT, Epson iPrint, or Brother iPrint and Scan.
2. Open the app and follow its setup to add the printer.
3. Print from inside the app, or use the phone's Share menu and pick the app as the print target.
4. If the printer has Wi-Fi Direct, the app can also connect the phone straight to the printer without a router.

Why can't my phone find my printer? Usually the phone and the printer are on different Wi-Fi networks, such as a guest network or different bands. Put both on the same network, and check the printer is awake and not in a deep sleep mode.

Can I print without Wi-Fi? Yes, with Wi-Fi Direct if the printer supports it, which connects the phone straight to the printer. Some Android phones can also print over a USB cable with an adapter.

Do I need to install an app to print from my phone? Not for most modern printers. AirPrint and the Android print service are built in. The maker's app helps with older printers and adds extra features such as scanning.
