Using Google Docs, Pages, or another app? Save your file as a PDF first. See How To: Save a File as a PDF. Mobile print uses default settings, so you can't change things like color or double-sided printing.

Got your signature instead of your document?

Images in an email signature can print in place of your file. Delete your signature before sending. See Mobile Print Printed My Email Signature Instead of My Document.
