Office Depot Shows You How To Print Photos From Your Smart Device

Smart devices have taken over everything that we once used computers for. You probably do not recall making a presentation on your laptop, or typing an email on a clunky desktop computer. Even writing official letters can be done on a bus, as long your phone or tablet has a word processor installed. Now you can print them with this guide from Office Depot.

Gone are the days of having to sit behind a desk and slave away on a computer to create that report. With the dawn of smart devices, our entire lives can be lived on the go. You can call our mother, type up an email, check the latest in sports and find the nearest bistro all while going out for a morning run. So it is natural that they should be able to print any documents, blueprints or photographs that we may have stored on our devices.

How To Print?

Wireless printing can be quite tricky sometimes and other times it is very simple. The first thing you need to do is to connect your wireless device with the same network that the printer is on. The printer should be on a wireless network, otherwise your phone will not be able to connect to it.

Go to your devices settings option, and find the network. This should be similar to finding a Wi-Fi network. Once you find the network, select it, if there is a password enter it and connect. Go to the application that holds your project and select the print option. The application will search for available printers, pick the one on the network and print. It is that simple.

Alternatively, today printer manufacturers make their printers with wireless capabilities. The printer may have Bluetooth or AirPrint for apple devices. All you need to do is turn the wireless capability on in the printer, and connect with your device to create a sort of local network between the two devices. Find your project and select print.

For devices that come without applications that can take advantage of wireless printing, there are third-party applications available. You can search for them in the app store or the Google play store. Once you have found a suitable application, download it and install it, and you are good to go.

My Printer and My Device Will Not Connect

Occasionally the device will identify the printer but no matter how much you try, it will not print. This could be due to the fact that you have not downloaded the appropriate software. Go to the website of the printer manufacturer and see if there is any software you need to download to make your printer connect with wireless devices.

This is a digital age, and as it progresses, connectivity has ceased to mean wires, which are cumbersome and prone to breaks or fraying. So get on the wireless printing wagon immediately. On the hand if you have to print that beautiful sunset shot and you do not have a printer around, find your nearest Office Depot, they offer great quality prints at great prices.
