You probably spend a lot of time on your iPhone because they are so powerful these days. That means there will come a time when you eventually need to print something straight from your phone instead of transferring it to your computer first.
Before you can print something you will need a special app, so we're going to look at some of the options you have available to you. Some of them are even free so you can get started straight away without spending any money.
One of the reasons I'm mentioning this app before anything else is the fact it's very versatile which comes in very handy. You don't even need a listener application, so it will connect straight to any Wi-Fi printer you come across.
You can also print out your photos as calendars or cards too. There is a downside because you're only allowed to print one thing at a time, so if you want a few more options you will need to spend a little money on the premium version.
ezShare Pro is actually not a dedicated printing app, but instead it's a file management app that lets you access lots of different documents from many different places. When you want to print something from your app you can connect to a printer through a Mac operating system. This app has a downside too because even through it will print most documents you throw at it you'll not be able to print web pages or standard photos.
The name makes the app sound special and it won't disappoint you. It's very easy to use in case you're sick and tired of apps that take forever to get used to. When it comes to printing options you have a lot available. You can print any clipboard content, so web pages, images, and text are fair game. You can obviously print photos too. It does happen to be quite expensive, especially since it can only work with IPP-enabled printers.
You can control everything and it can be done through the listener application so your print job won't get sabotaged.
You have some work to do before you use this app too, because you'll need to install the WePrint server on your computer. Once you've installed it you can use your iPhone to print anything on any printer on a particular Wi-Fi network. If you set up a proxy connection you'll also be able to print over a 3G connection too. You will need to set up a password so random people don't start printing things from your server.

Before you start using this app you will need to install a listener application before it will work. This is after you've went online and registered for an account. I would usually tell you this was overkill, but once you're finished you will be able to print from any printer in the world over Wi-Fi provided you know the computer user's email address.You can control everything and it can be done through the listener application so your print job won't get sabotaged.
