1. Use same Wi-Fi for iPhone and Printer
You can connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network because the Canon printer supports AirPrint. After that, your iPhone will automatically locate and connect to the printer via AirPrint.
2. Choose the iPhone content for print
Open the image, document, or another file you want to print. You can find the print option by tapping the “Share” icon. Then, select the “Print” option and select the AirPrint-enabled printer.
