Quick Tips

While you are printing multiple documents using AirPrint, open the App Switcher and open the Print Center window to check the print orders.
Select the order you want to cancel and tap on the x icon or Cancel.
If you aren’t using AirPrint, you can download the companion app for your printer from the App Store. You can then print documents and check the queue.

Check and Clear Print Queue Using AirPrint

If you’re using Apple’s in-built wireless printing service, here’s how to access the print queue.

Step 1: Open the document or photo you want to print and tap on the Share icon > Print.

Step 2: Select the printer, and how you want your media to be printed, and then tap on Print.

Repeat the same if you want to print multiple documents.

Step 4: Now, the Print Center window should have opened up. This lets you access the print orders. If not, swipe up to open the app switcher > open the Print Center app.

Step 5: You can view your print order – select the ones you want to clear and tap on the Cancel or x button.

Clear Print Orders From the Printer Companion App

If you don’t use AirPlay to print documents, you can always use the companion app for your printer. The app lets you print documents and manage your print orders. I used the HP app on my iPhone to print documents, and it lets me easily check and cancel the print orders/queue.
