How to print labels from iPhone 5S?

[casey-86]

I'm building a new computer that probably won't be finished until the end of August so for now my iPhone 5S is my computer. I'm selling a few items between now and then and realized today just how convenient having a computer is when I had to go to the post office and ship a package the old fashioned way (which was very nostalgic actually because that's how I did it when I started selling on eBay 10 years ago).

I wanted to ask if it is possible to print shipping labels using my iPhone to a Canon MP560 printer. The printer does say wifi on it but I've never printed wirelessly with it or from a mobile device. When I try to detect printers on my iPhone it says no AirPrint printers found. Is my printer compatible? What are my options if it isn't? Thanks!

The Canon MP560 is not an AirPrint printer. It is not listed on the list of AirPrint printers on Apple's website. I would have to have a working computer to be able to print from my iPhone to my MP560 which I don't have right now. Darn....

I just installed the Canon iEPP app which lets you print from your photo library or scanned documents. Would I be able to take a screenshot of the shipping label and then print it or would it print small and not work on the scans during shipping?

I found a better way. I downloaded the Canon iEPP app, purchased the label through eBay using my phone and used the email label option to email the label to myself. From there when I click on the icon to download the label it gives me options to open the label with and one is the Canon app. I opened it using the app and then printed it. It came out perfect like it would printing from a computer.

Well, there you go. Your research will probably help someone else.
Thank you for posting a solution! 😄
