How to print a file on my mobile phone?

Question

I want to print a file on my mobile phone.

I connected my mobile phone to Windows 11. It shows 3 options. One of them is for transferring files, so I chose this option. However, after that, I couldn't find any extra drive on the screen.

Hi BenTam,

For the easiest option, you can either attach the file to an email or upload it to Google Drive or OneDrive, then open it on your PC and print from there.

Alternatively, for a more reliable method that works with any file on your phone, you can use the "Your Phone" app by Microsoft. Just install the app on both your phone and PC, then connect them by scanning a QR code or signing in with your Microsoft account.

Once connected, open the file on your phone, tap Share → Your Phone. The file will appear on your PC, right-click it and choose Print.
