With the email open, tap the 'Share' icon (the icon looks like an arrow pointing to the left) at the bottom of your screen, then scroll down and choose 'Print' from the list that appears.
Now you need to tap 'Select Printer' and make sure that the printer you wish to use is switched on and connected to the same WiFi connection as your iPhone, then choose it from the list to select it.
