By my recent experience, libraries & FedEx Office & UPS Store will only print via email ☹️ Do you know otherwise? I need to print via Bluetooth.

    Is there a reason why you can’t download it on your device and email it? Sorry, just trying to understand the situation

      Because it’s a certificate at the end of a work tutorial and they say do not screen capture it, you must print it directly from your phone at the end of the tutorial and you cannot close the screen until you print it or you’ll have to start all over again and do the tutorial all over again. All I have is my smartphone and I do not have USB I don’t have cables. It has to go directly from my phone to a printer.

      Then I’m going to have to go into work and do this aren’t I, it’s going to be awful.

          I am a new hire and it didn’t occur to me to ask my boss so I just texted him. asked him if I can use a computer at work for this. our job is not computer-centric, it’s an aesthetics industry so computers are not abundant there.

        There should be a way to save the file, I would think. There’s nothing on your phone browser about saving it? I would call HR for support (or ask whoever is onboarding you if it’s a new job). I’m sure they’ve had to handle this before

        Edit: also who downvoted OP for that comment lol? Talk about judgmental

          Thank you. All I’ve done so far is read the instructions for the tutorial, once I start the tutorial it takes an hour and if I exit out I have to start all over again so I haven’t even gotten to the point where I can see whether or not I can save the file. But I will dig into this deeper and research it. I just texted my boss and asked him.

        On an iPhone, share menu, print, then share menu from the print page. This gives you a save to files option. You can then physically print the PDF at your leisure and however is convenient for you.

            In chrome, you can open the three dot menu at the top right, hit Share, and then hit print, select Save as PDF, hit the yellow PDF button, then select where to save it to.

            On Firefox, you can open the Share menu and save the page as a PDF directly from there.

            Or at least I can on my phone

            Is this in a web browser? Special app? What do they expect you to press on your phone to get it to print? There should be an option to pick pdf as a destination “device” or share>save as pdf. I have android and have made pdfs

        USB probably won’t work for that anyway. If you don’t want to go into work then your only option at UPS Store would probably be to rent the computer access time and do the tutorial on their machine and then print directly, with no phone involved.
