How to Print From a BlackBerry Phone

Although the BlackBerry operating system has a lot of features and utilities, it does not include a built-in printing application. In order to print directly from your BlackBerry device, you need to download a printing application from BlackBerry App World. The App World is a repository for third-party BlackBerry applications that you can access directly from a BlackBerry device. After selecting a printing application, you must configure it to connect to a printer before you can print from the device.

Instructions

1. Select the "BlackBerry App World" icon from the home screen on the BlackBerry.

2. Type "Print" in the search box. A list of print applications will display. Basic Print, Breezy Print and PriApps Mobile Print are examples of print applications you can use with your BlackBerry.

3. Select a print application, then download it to your BlackBerry. Select the new print application from the list of applications on the home screen. Follow the directions to configure the application to connect to your printer.

4. Navigate to the file you want to print and open it. Press the "BlackBerry/Menu" key, then select "Print" from the list of options. Alternatively, some print applications automatically insert a "Print" button in many applications. In that scenario, select the "Print" button to print the file.
