Why doesn't my Bluetooth label printer show up when I print?

Updated September 5, 2026

Many small Bluetooth label printers (NIIMBOT, Phomemo, Marklife, and similar brands) can only print from their own companion app. They don't support standard phone printing (AirPrint on iOS or Mopria on Android), so they will never appear in your phone's printer list — in Flippd or any other app.

You can still print Flippd labels on these printers by sharing the label as an image to the printer's app.

Step-by-Step

  1. Turn on the feature: go to Settings > Feature Visibility and enable Share Labels as Image

  2. Go to Tools > Labels and select the items you want to label

  3. Tap Print Labels, then tap Share as Image (this button is hidden until you turn on Share Labels as Image in step 1)

  4. In the share sheet, save the image to your photos (on iPhone tap Save Image; on Android use Google Photos or your gallery app)

  5. Open your printer's app (for example, the NIIMBOT app) and connect to your printer

  6. Create a new label and insert the saved image from your photo gallery

  7. Print from the printer's app
