Printer

The printer icon represents a device used for producing physical copies of digital documents. It is commonly used in computing and office settings to symbolize the action of printing. The printer icon has become a standard symbol in user interfaces, indicating the functionality of printing documents or files. The origin of the printer icon dates back to the early days of computing, where printers were used to produce hard copies of digital information.

The printer icon is widely used in various software applications, including word processors like Microsoft Word, spreadsheet programs like Excel, and graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop. It is also commonly found in operating systems, such as Windows and macOS, where it is used to represent the print function. In addition, the printer icon is used in web browsers, allowing users to print web pages and online documents.

From a UX perspective, the printer icon communicates the functionality of producing a physical copy of a digital document. It helps users understand that they can print a document or file, making it a crucial element in user interfaces. The printer icon is often used in conjunction with other icons, such as the save icon, to provide users with a range of options for managing their documents.

Printer is one of 9,161 icons in Phosphor, made by Phosphor Icons and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 256 × 256 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds PrinterIcon to components/icons/ph-printer.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed PrinterIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has @phosphor-icons/react: Printer is `Printer` there, used as <Printer />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Printer icon, or any of 9,161 Phosphor icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 256 × 256 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Printer", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. PrinterIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <PrinterIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Phosphor, Phosphor Icons and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

8 other libraries draw an icon called Printer. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are UI, action, document, office, printing and output. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Printer in another set.
