Steps
Turn on the Epson EcoTank L3210 and load plain A4 paper in the rear feeder. Check the ink levels if the printer has been idle.
Install Epson iPrint from Google Play on your Android phone and open it once to allow the basic permissions.
Plug the printer end of the USB cable into the Epson L3210, then connect the flat end to a USB-C OTG adapter.
Plug the adapter into your phone's USB-C port. If your phone uses micro-USB, use a matching OTG adapter instead.
Open Epson iPrint and allow any USB access prompt. Let the app detect the L3210, or choose it from the printer list.
Tap the print or document option in Epson iPrint, then select the PDF or file you want to print.
Set the paper size to A4, choose colour or grayscale, and check the copies and page range before you continue.
Tap Print and wait while the printer pulls the paper through. Keep the cable connected until the job finishes.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a data-capable USB cable, not a charge-only cable, or the phone may not see the printer.
Keep the phone unlocked and the Epson iPrint app open during printing to avoid a dropped connection.
If the app does not detect the printer, unplug the adapter, reconnect it and reopen Epson iPrint.
Check the page range before printing a long document so you do not waste paper and ink.
Questions
Do I need Wi-Fi to print this way?
No. This method uses a direct USB cable connection between the phone and the printer. Your phone must support USB OTG and you need the right adapter for its charging port.
Why does Epson iPrint not see my L3210?
Check that the USB cable is data-capable and firmly connected at both ends. Reconnect the OTG adapter, allow USB access on the phone and reopen the app.
Can I use this method with an iPhone?
This guide is for an Android phone with a USB-C OTG adapter and Epson iPrint. For an iPhone, use the printer's supported wireless setup or a model with AirPrint support.
