Overview
Print is the output feature in WPS Office for iOS that lets you send the current document to a printer, or continue with other output methods such as exporting a printable file or using the system print service.
Core tasks include:
- Start printing: Open the print screen from the top menu bar and view connected printers or add a printer.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you open Print from More, preview the output, and adjust settings such as printer, preset, copies, print range, duplex mode, paper size, orientation, scale, media and quality, and layout. | Word officially describes print preview, copies, and page range selection, and shows color, black and white, and grayscale options when the printer supports them. | Google Docs on iPhone and iPad supports printing from More > Share & export > Print, and page setup can adjust orientation, paper size, and page color. | Notion mainly supports printing through PDF export preparation on mobile, while direct printing is handled in the browser rather than as a direct document print workflow in the desktop app. | Acrobat focuses on PDF printing and print-to-PDF workflows, with options to review print settings and customize PDF output before printing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS brings a broad set of print settings together in one print workflow on iOS. Distinct: It also offers Export as Print File and System Print Service as alternate output paths. | Compared with WPS: the official Word page emphasizes preview, copies, and page range, with less iOS-specific detail about a broader mobile print settings workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs has a clear iOS print path, but page setup and printing are described in separate steps and screens. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more export-first for printing, so the workflow is less direct for document printing on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more centered on PDF workflows, while WPS is closer to direct printing after document editing. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Print on iOS is well suited to users who want to complete document printing and setting adjustments directly on a mobile device. If your workflow is centered on online collaboration, PDF export, or PDF-specific output, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
