Option 1: Using Built-in Print Functionality
Ensure the Printer is Connected to Wi-Fi: Follow the printer's manual to connect it to your wireless network.
Install Printer Drivers: Make sure the printer drivers are installed on your computer. You can usually download these from the printer manufacturer's website.
Add the Printer:
Windows: Go to Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners > Add a printer or scanner. Select your wireless printer from the list.
Mac: Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > + button. Select your wireless printer from the list.
Print Your Document: Open your project file, click on File > Print, select your wireless printer, adjust settings if needed, and click Print.
Option 2: Using Printer Manufacturer's Software
Many printer manufacturers offer their own software that can simplify printing tasks. Examples include:
HP Smart for HP printers
Epson iPrint for Epson printers
Canon PRINT for Canon printers
Download and install the relevant software from the manufacturer’s website and follow the instructions to connect to and print from your wireless printer.
2. Printing from Mobile Devices (iOS and Android)
Option 1: AirPrint (iOS Devices)

Download and install the app, connect to your printer, and follow the in-app instructions to print.
