Mobile & App Printing Issues

Printing from a phone or tablet is meant to be quick and convenient, but it doesn’t always go as planned. Sometimes the printer doesn’t show up in your app, the job stays stuck in “sending,” or nothing prints at all. These issues usually come down to connection problems, app settings, or compatibility limitations between the printer and device. Since mobile printing depends on both your network and the app you’re using, even one small misstep can interrupt the process. Thankfully, most of these issues are easy to sort out once you know where to look.

Possible Causes:

  • Printer and phone on different Wi-Fi networks
  • Printing app not set up properly
  • Outdated app or mobile OS
  • Printer not mobile-print compatible

Quick Fixes:

  • Reconnect your phone and printer to the same Wi-Fi
  • Restart both devices and relaunch the printing app
  • Update your app or reinstall if it’s acting glitchy
  • Use the default print feature on your phone if the app fails

Future Tips:

  • Keep both your device and printer software updated
  • Use trusted, brand-compatible printing apps
  • Avoid switching networks while printing from mobile
