    From Apple's article, "How to write a good question":

     

    To help other members answer your question, give as many details as you can.

    • Include your product name and specs such as processor speed, memory, and storage capacity. Please do not include your Serial Number, IMEI, MEID, or other personal information.
    • Provide the version numbers of your operating system and relevant applications, for example "iOS 6.0.3" or "iPhoto 9.1.2".
    • Describe the problem, and include any details about what seems to cause it.
    • List any troubleshooting steps you've already tried, or temporary fixes you've discovered.

    Until you give all the relevant information, no one is going to be able to help you. We're not mind readers and it's a waste of everyone's time to guess at answers.

     

    Are you trying to print from your iPhone? If so, try this:

     

    Print from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    Also, consult the documentation for your printer.
