Printer

The printer icon represents the concept of printing documents or files. It is commonly used to symbolize the action of producing physical copies of digital content. The printer symbol has its roots in office equipment and is widely recognized across different cultures. The icon is often used in user interfaces to provide a clear and intuitive way to access printing functionality.

In software and digital interfaces, the printer icon is frequently used in applications and operating systems to allow users to easily print documents or files. For example, web browsers, word processors, and other software often feature a print icon that users can interact with to initiate the printing process. This icon is also commonly used in office equipment and industrial settings to manage printing and output.

From a UX perspective, the printer icon effectively communicates its purpose through a simple and recognizable design. The icon's universal recognition helps users quickly understand its function, reducing cognitive load and improving overall usability. By providing a clear and consistent visual cue, the printer icon enhances the user experience and facilitates intuitive interaction with digital interfaces.

Printer is one of 336 icons in Typicons, made by Stephen Hutchings and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 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/typcn-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.

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 336 Typicons 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 24 × 24 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, with conditions: CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Stephen Hutchings), and icons you change must use the same license. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY-SA 4.0 asks you to credit Stephen Hutchings, and icons you change must be shared under the same license.

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