Anybody know how to print from an iPhone with AirPrint? I'd like to print some photos but I'm also curious if you can print text messages?
Printing from a phone is as easy as hitting the print button in the application you’re in! Usually, the print feature is found in the “share” location. If you can share the item you’re looking at, you usually can print it. The other side is having a compatible printer. Most printers from the last 10 years are wifi enabled or network-enabled printers. If your printer is on the wifi, you should be able to print directly to it.
Printing text messages is a different thing. Apple's official process is to screenshot your text message screen and then print each individual photo from your photos app. This is clunky and can take a long time if you have a long string. Ideally, you’d want to use third-party software like iMazing or FonePaw. These sometimes-paid-sometimes-free 3rd party pieces of software will extract entire text message strings (sometimes 10 or 100 pages) and save them in one PDF file you can then export, email, save, and print.

If your printer supports AirPrint, then you can wirelessly print from iPhone. Connect your printer and phone to the same wifi network first. Then, open the document you want to print on your phone, and click the Share option. Tap the Print button, choose your printer, and choose how many copies you want to print.
