Print from an Android phone

Android needs a print service switched on before the printer shows up in the share menu.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • No print option in the app
  • “No printers found” in the print preview

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Open Settings and search for Printing, then confirm the default print service is on.

  2. 2

    Install the Canon print app from the Play Store if your model is not detected by the default service.

  3. 3

    Make sure the phone and printer are on the same Wi-Fi network.

  4. 4

    In any app, tap the menu, choose Print, then pick your Canon from the list.

  5. 5

    Set paper size and colour, then print.

Pro tip

The print preview page is a real preview — check the margins there before you use paper.
