How to get Pages, Numbers, and Keynote to have a print option

With the exception of Apple Pages, Apple Numbers, and Apple Keynote, we can print from apps with no issues from our iPads and iPhones. For example, if we make a document with Apple Notes we can print it with no problem. We can print photos with Apple Photos. We can print web pages with Apple Safari. We just can’t print from Pages, Numbers or Keynote because print is not an option listed anywhere in the share function or elsewhere in these particular apps. Our Epson WF-7720 printer is listed as an AirPrint printer on the Apple website and our printer is updated to the latest firmware. What could account for the reason we don’t see a print option in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote but we can see and use print in our other apps? We’re using the latest version of the iOS 16.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Thank you! This works perfectly! Not sure why Apple Support is unaware of this. I spent over half an hour in a screen share session with them repeatedly instructing me to go into the Share icon (upper right area of the window) and puzzling as to why there was no Print option there (like there is in other programs). They finally concluded the printer was to blame but clearly it's just that the print option is not available under the share icon when you're in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Unlike in Notes and other Apple iOS apps, you have to click on the document name drop list first in order to get the Print option when using Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Many thanks again!

With iOS v16.1.2 and iPadOS v16.1.2, you reach the Print menu by clicking on the filename in the titlebar of v12.2.1 versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

You are welcome. This information is also in the current Pages User Guide for iPad:

Thank you. It's surprising Apple support didn't know about the location either.
