Why can’t I print a word or excel doc from iPhone 11

Hi I have an iPhone 11 I use AirPrint to print docs from emails to a Hp oifficejet5230. I can print PDF’s using AirPrint but when I get a word doc attachment there is no print button showing for me to send to AirPrint. Why is this?

Where has the Print option gone in Pages for iPad Since a recent update Pages for iPad (version 12.2.1) the ability to print a Document has disappeared. Checking in Help it indicates tapping the three dots will open the menu containing Print. It doesn’t. All that is there is Find : Presenter Mode : Settings : Help. Even when Editing a document there is no Print command available in the iPad version of this App. There is no option to Send Copy to the printer either. Whereas iPhone’s version offers the full bouquet of options under the three dots menu, namely Document Options : Export : Print : Screen View : Presenter Mode : View Options : Find : Settings : Help How can I print a document using Pages on iPad please?

Print Option is Missing in Pages version 12.2 for iPad OS 16.1 The print option is missing in Pages on my iPad. See above versions. I actually am not trying to print per se, I want to create a PDF which i always did via the print option. But I also own an airprint printer so don’t get what the problem is. My iPhone version of Pages has the print option and several other options not existing in my ipad version. All solutions to this question that I found related to telling the person where print was hiding. It is not hiding though, it is missing. Another user posted the same problem here about a week ago but received no help at all. I am putting in my request here but titling it differently because my version is more descriptive of the actual problem and am more hopeful help will be received.

Basically because not all apps support AirPrint. Do you have the Microsoft Office app(s) installed on your iPhone?
