Only recently have our lives become easier thanks to wireless printing. Instead of being tied to a desk, your laptop, tablet, or mobile device can now request your Wireless Printer’s services—even from another room.
If you’re ready to go wireless, Toner Connect has the ins and outs of today’s most popular wireless printing options, including Google Cloud Print, ePrint, AirPrint, and iPrint, so you can choose the right Wireless Printer setup for your needs.
Wireless Printer Technology: Understanding Your Options
Wireless printing gives businesses and individuals flexibility, efficiency, and convenience. Below, we break down the most common wireless printing platforms and how they work.
Google Cloud Printing
A great choice for users who rely heavily on Google apps such as Chrome, Gmail, Drive, Docs, Slides, and Sheets, Google Cloud Print offers a secure and reliable way to print documents.
One standout feature of Google Cloud printing is privacy—documents are deleted immediately after printing is complete. It also works seamlessly with Chromebooks, and any web-connected device can send print jobs to a compatible Wireless Printer.
Using ePrint With HP
Introduced by HP, ePrint is available only on newer HP printer models, so it’s important to confirm compatibility before committing to this option.
ePrint allows users to print email attachments directly by sending them to the printer’s unique email address—no downloading required. This makes it an excellent choice for busy professionals using an HP Wireless Printer.
To get started, you’ll need an account on HP ePrintCenter. Each printer includes a unique activation code required during setup.
Supported File Types for ePrint on Wireless Printer
ePrint supports the following attachment formats:
-
MS Word
-
MS PowerPoint
-
MS Outlook documents
-
HTML files
-
Rich Text Format (RTF)
-
PDF (Adobe Acrobat)
-
Image files: JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, TIFF
You’ll also need to download the HP ePrint app on your smartphone or tablet.
AirPrint: A Simple Wireless Printer Solution for Apple Users
One of the most popular wireless printing options, AirPrint stands out for its simplicity. There’s no need to install drivers or pair devices—Apple handles everything automatically.
Most major printer brands support AirPrint, so you don’t need to buy directly from Apple to enjoy this Wireless Printer feature.
Important note: AirPrint only works with Apple devices, including Macs, iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch models.

As long as the printer is on, printing begins immediately.
iPrint: Epson’s Wireless Printer App
Despite the name, iPrint is developed by Epson and works with both Apple and Android devices. This app is designed specifically for Epson printers, so compatibility is key when selecting a Wireless Printer.
With Epson iPrint, users can:
-
Print multiple photos
-
Print web pages
-
Access cloud storage to print documents or images
-
Scan and email files
As long as your device and Epson Wireless Printer are on the same Wi-Fi network—and the app is installed—you’re ready to go.
