This may depend on your printer. I use a HP printer. When you first set up your wifi printer, it should come with the facility to configure an email address for the actual printer - which you can change - and you can then email your photo/document etc to your printer, so that it can then print off. So mine for example is f*****************@hpeprint.com. If you don't remember what your printer email address is, go to your printer's web page, and register or sign into your account, and take it form there.

a super tech nerd or it admin or somebody who pay somebody to set it up are realistic scenarios.

but as deggie state:


I have a netatmo weather station and security cam and some dlink security cams

both can be accessed by apps on my iPhone because the devices connects to their manufactures clouds and the ios apps can access them that way without the need for VPN


a printer could work in the same manner if the manufactures implement a similar system


so if you name your printer brand / model to deggie , you may get some info as to if there is a solution in that direction.
