When printing a photo from the pho app on my MacBook via a wifi printer in another part of the house, the image comes out good. But while selecting the same photo from the photos on my iPhone 11 the image in poor quality. Same printer same wifi.
Can someone solve this issue Please.
Many Thanks.
David.

Not sure this helps, David, but to get best results from your iPhone, Apple suggests using AirPrint:



Have you, or can you, tried AirPrint?

I can only think the issue must be either within the iPhone settings, have you done a line by line comparison of the settings across the two devices, or are you printing the thumbnail from the iPhone and not the actual photo, i.e. is the photo downloaded to the iPhone.

Are your photos offloaded to iCloud? If so, you need to open them in full resolution, while on Wi-Fi, to get the files downloaded back to the phone. (Go to Settings > Photos and see if iCloud Photo Library is ON and you have 'Optimize storage' selected.)

Yes both are as you stated.

Thanks. Will have a go later on uninstall the Epson app and reinstall.See how that goes.
The printer in question is a Epson E-2650 model.

Thanks. David.
