Sense 3.0 - Do any ROMs here have the "Print" feature working?
Was looking at a coworker's T-Mobile HTC Sensation, and there's a builtin "Print" button into the Sense UI. He was able to get on the company's Wifi, add a printer by IP address, and print pictures, etc, to the printer.
I'm looking for someway to print to an IP address. I've tried PrinterShare app, but you cannot add a printer by IP address - it only searches for nearby wifi printers, or client software installed on a PC connected to a printer. Seeing as all of our printers are network printers, I need to connect by IP.
Is there a way to do this on a Gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM?

it may or may not be a solution for you, but I use Could Print, from the Android Market. It's an Android app that uses Google Cloud Print to send stuff to a printer connected to your PC.
It does require Google Chrome to be installed on your computer, and said computer to be on, but the few times I've used it, it has performed well.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, Cloud Print is not an option, because the printers are all network printers, being connected to the wall by an ethernet cable. They are not connected to a PC and we cannot install software on the PCs.
if you can use dropbox on the machine that has the network printer set up, then check this out:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/10/cloud-printing-print-remotely-with-smartphone-dropbox/
though i dont really know if dropbox will work with networked printers or only locally attached printers. i've never used dropbox before.
Certainly!
I'm running Virus's Kingdom B1.4, and I'm able to use the "Print" menu just fine.
Of course, I had to install the JETCET PRINT apks for it to work, but after doing that, the Print function works fine. I have a Network attached printer at home, and it detects it automatically. I just have to select the correct driver. It doesn't print HTML, but it works fine on plain text, or even Rich Text e-mails (it still prints it out in plain text format though).

hello all,
gots me a problem . im going to japan november, want to remote desktop back to here when necessary and be able to access a hdd here for dumping pictures. i have a lan here, wifi, it has a connection surfs the net etc.
it has an ip address from my router. is there a program or command that will get me the kind of command functionality of a dos/command prompt? ping, ipconfig, etc?
then if i can get them to talk, what steps do i need to take to remote in. do i need software? i enabled remote here, setup a user (vista BTW).
i cant access here from the laptop with xp either that one can ping. its also wifi currently. im obviously missing something and would appreciate any help, or web site links etc to show me what ive missed.
thanks in advance.

or look at HERE
so this was for PDA, and this is for full connection via SSH VPN encrypted connection. I work for Infineon/Qimonda company, and there is strict security policy in here. So we have not permitted to ping, or created FTP connection with outside and many other services (like sending files through ICQ and etc.). There is one way, use your own SSH tunell ;-) on my home PC I have installed WinSSHD Bitvise server liseninng on port 443 (which cannot be blocked, because all our lotus notes databases is secured with HTPPS) and from work I can connect easily to home. Then is easy to create FTP connection, or terminal, or full GUI terminal (mstsc.exe e.g.) Link to this server (not free) and also to very good client (free) is HERE
I also have few routers connected to stable IP´s adress, which also have VPN features. Then is easy for me to connect to my home lan from everywhere.
thanks so much, i knew someone would point me the right way.
since last post, i have managed to remote desktop from my phone on the LAN just using built in remote desktop. tomorrow i will attempt an internet connection probably not configured something yet!
im checking out those web pages now. thanks again
I have been searching for clarity thru islands of info in the forums as well as the net. Any help directing me would be sweet. I am trying to use my T-Mobile Wing HTC WM6 to control a computer on my home network. I have somewhat knowledge of having the server and client. Have read and installed programs. I want to be at McDonalds *or any wifi spot and log in to home computer. When I have a VNC server running it says the network ip address of 192.168.1.101 but I assume thats because its thru my network. I have went to what is my ip address.com and tried that with the port the server allows in the vnc viewer and had no luck. I think I might be too newb for such an advanced concept. I am somewhat computer savvy to alot of technical terms. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I use messengers if faster communication is necessary. Thanks in advance to any help or thoughts.

a few thoughts,
1. what version of windows are you running. (e.g Xp Home or vista )
as Vista home basic and premium will not accept a remote desktop connection without a 3rd party hack to make it work only business and ultimate support remote desktop
If on XP home be sure to set allowing of remote desktop sessions to be allowed under the system properties area.
2. do you have a password setup on the user account that you log into windows on if no remote desktop will not allow access.
3. when browsing from a 3rd party network ( e.g mcdonalds or over GPRS/HSDPA ) you browse to your external ip not the dark ip of 192.168.1.x i use dyndns.org so i can just browse to the dynamic domain ip which is my external ip of my home pc
4. since you mentioned a dark ip i can only also assume your using a router at home. this means you either use such as LogmeIn/Hamachi and browse to the home pc's Hamachi IP ( e.g 5.5.100.50 ) or you will have to set a port forward in your router to forward any requests from port 3389 to the local IP of the home pc, ( e.g 192.168.1.100 )
I use static ip's in my router at home to ensire that the port forward will always goto my home pc's internal ip address. My particular router from netgear allows to have the ip of a specific machine be assigned the same ip internally based on it's ethernet adapter MAC address. making no changes required on the pc itself other them standard DHCP.
hope this helps.

1. I am using Windows XP Home. I have allowed Remote Access under the tab Systems Tab.
2. I only have a pw on the prog VNC server on the pc but no passwords for windows *should I? :| ... Then I try VNC Viewer the the Pocket PC *T-mobile Wing.
3. I am reading up on the dyndns.org site. I assume I need the free dns service for those with dynamic IP addresses. *i hope I have that.
4. I have Linksys Bef11s4... I believe I can set static ip's though its tricky for me. I am going to try for the pc I want to connect to. This networking stuff gets a little bit blurry for me. I understand that static means non-changing, therefore the pc to connect to in network will have same ip on restarts and things. I am familiar with the port forwarding options *do i need tcp and udp checked?... again any thoughts definately appreciated...
lastly, Do you have any particular progs you recommend for me to do this concept? I have a few installed, but not sure i need all.. I have pocketputty on pda and wm6 rdc... plus vncvier. On the PC i have VNC CLient and VNC Server *believe I only need server. Thank you for your time Cyberjak
1. Just go to http://www.logmein.com
2. Sign up. It's free.
3. Screw Remote Desktop and juggling internal vs. external IP addresses and DNS.
4. Use/enjoy...no work needed.

Logmein has like 6 choices... I am looking to remote access outside my network... also is this free? I see trials and stuff... thanks for help mjb
have the logme in installed on main and when i use pda it doesnt work...i installed cab and log in fine but when i go to remote the pc it takes my access code and then pops up with error message for menuPDA.html... i cleared history and cookies and tried to make sense of the forums... I am using the T-mobile Wing with WM6.... wierd... willing to try the other way if needed... i guess i could also try loggin thru a pc not home to the remote pc... i believe i saying this remote term correctly but i believe u understand. I am trying to use my PDA anywhere to control home pc.... thanks for help guys... i am willing to try whatever way works...
I've used Logmein on my MDA Pro, Ameo and now on my Vario 3.
You should first try to remote your PC while your sitting next to it. That way you can see any firewall pop ups that may be blocking you.
I have been trying when i am right next to it... I am using my WM6 to connect wi-fi to the internet thru my network.... the pc i wanna control is on my network...
It doesn't matter what network the PDA and PC are on. Logmein uses an internet connection.
yeah, tried a bunch of things to get logmein to work, and it always comes to the page of "403 Forbidden (0x5) menuPDA.html System error: Access is denied. (5)"
checked their forrums too...
guessing i should try going back to client/server manual entry... either way, any advice from you guys much appreciated.... It seems WM6 are known for incompatibility issues with RDC situations.... hoping not the case but...thanks again guys
got logmein working nicely, thank you for the help guys...
Gooer Remote Desktop Service
I am using Gooer Remote Desktop Service(http://www.gooer.com) and it let me access my home PC using laptop or mobile phone.
remote desktop only works, as far as I know, on XP pro & Vista
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357009
I set up remote desktop with mycloud/splashtop on my tf101. I can locally remote access my computer on the home network.
But I want to be able to access my computer from any network. Would the fact that when I was asked for permissions on my pc for either private networks or public networks, I checked private be the reason why i can't connect when using a network outside of my home network? If so, how do i change this permission.
Right now, when i try to connect to my computer using an outside network like my mobile data connection tethered from my phone, it says cannot reach.
You will need to do a port forwarding rule on your router. There r threads about this just do a search.

Is that the only thing I'd have to do? I wouldn't have to add it as a new device connection on my transformer would I?
i forwarded the 3 ports from this link http://support-remote.splashtop.com...nect-to-my-home-computer-from-outside-of-home
and still it says cannot reach.
Also, I enabled discover over internet with my google account on my computer.
under the status tab on the splashtop application on my pc, it says the streamer is online with the following ip addresses, and only my local area connection is listed.

You need to set the connection with your WAN IP not your local IP. On your PC go to whatsmyip.org or similar to find out what your current WAN IP address is.
If you don't have a static IP address your WAN IP will likely change at some point. You can get a free account at dyndns.com and set it up in your router (Google it). You can then connect to your PC using YOURUSERNAME.dyndns.org or whatever you setup in DynDNS.
The alternative is to use TeamViewer or LogMeIn or similar which will automatically keep track of your PC whenever it connects to the internet.
Remote access can be real pain in the butt when you are accessing over the WAN.
As mentioned in posts above you need to set up port forwarding on your router, ensure there are relevant firewall exceptions and use your external facing IP address and set up a dynamic DNS account if you don't have a static IP - some routers have built in support for dynamic DNS.
Log me in is a good free service for this but the android app is pricey (and not very good IMO) - while the interface is not ideal it does take away all of the annoying hassles.
If you do go down the dynamic DNS, port forwarding route you might find that remote desktop via 2X RDP or similar is better than splash top anyway - although you can't do remote desktop on windows vista/7 home editions.
good video here, got it working very first try following stepby step

nvm turns out i only forwarded the ports on my router firewall. after also forwarding the ports in my modem i can now access from an outside network

Just an FYI, but auto discovery doesn't work on the Android client yet, though it is coming (it is experimental in iOS).
Wyse PocketCloud does have this facility, though it doesn't stream video/games like Splashtop.

I would try TeamViewer. On your PC you can install the host version. That way you can access your PC before login. TeamViewer works without making changes in your router/firewall.
The Android TeamViewer client is free.

I finally fixed my issue with doing this last night. I was forwarding all 3 ports but I was doing TCP and UDP (which I must say I've done many times before and never had an issue) but I removed the forwarding from UDP field in my router and just left the 3 ports forwarded in TCP field. Today I can now connect and perfectly use my PC from work using Splashtop w00t!
I honestly don't know what I'm doing. All I know is that all the things I've tried so far didnt work.
Can someone guide me on how to set this up on my NookColor?
My PC and NookColor share the same wifi connection via an Airport Exteme router. I know that there are two IP Address: one form y router, which I can see on www.whatismyip.com and the other is my computer's which I can see via cmd > ipconfig. So, my question is-- how do I set this thing up? Any step by step procedure?
What have you already tried? Also what version of OS are you using, some versions of windows have RDP kneecapped. Also, where are you trying to view it from?
If you already have RDP going, you can use Wyse PocketCloud to manage the connections through your google account, it's pretty straight-forward.
Personally, I use TightVNC as the desktop client and AndroidVNC Viewer and ConnectBot on the nook. I only use my home computer when at home, so the setup is fairly simple, have AndroidVNC talk to myipaddress using port 5900. Be sure to use the connecting password when you set up TightVNC - also check the character count as you enter it, sometimes it doesn't take all the characters, ie; the password "bob-ismyuncle" is stored as "bob-ismy".
For connections remotely (not on the same network) I first SSH into the machine with ConnectBot, then set up a port forward to localhost:5901 which AndroidVNC then connects to.
Also, has anyone tried NX?
I'll assume you're a windows user?
Make sure RDP is enabled on your PC (google it, really easy to enable)
If BOTH machines are connected to your network... get the PC's IP address (via cmd ipconfig) and connect to it using the RDP port (3128 on Windows)... ex: "192.168.100.199:3128"
If you want to use RDP away from home, you need to configure your router to forward any external connections on the RDP port directly to your PC. Then you'll want to connect using your external (router's) IP address. Ex: 111.222.333.444:3128 => 192.168.100.199:3128 .... then connect to "111.222.333.444:3128"
I like LogMeIn free and logMeIn Ignition great little app. also teamviewer has a free version and free app for android
Looking for a good free print app that works I tried e print and print not but have to pay..just need to know before I have to buy one
I use cloudprint.... free, easy to use, always available
Cloud print works.
To use cloud print you have to have a net Active printer or a Google Chrome browser on a pc. THE PC must be on to print and there is some delay. Depending on your printer brand there are some print apps from say HP BROTHER KODAK. and so on..
I have a new Brother printer that has wired or wireless and bluetooth netWORK it will print direct to the printer.. from over the internet or from anywhere in my home. Awesome.THE App is on the market . Find the one suited for your printer or install chrome browser on your desktop.. install the cloud print plugin to it set your printer model in the application inbeded in chrome browser.. then install the app and on your tabler and assign it your google account setup on google chrome on your desktop.. ..
IT WORKS WILL WITH SOME LAG
and some documents dont print properly. This could be because my printer was OLD MODEL.. bought new one a week or so ago...
I use PrintBot. There are free and pro versions of it. My HP deskjet 5150 printer is fed by a D-Link wireless print server, so it has its own IP address, using the LPR method. As such, I can print by wifi directly to the printer, even if no PC in the house is running.
This model of HP is not listed in the PrintBot settings, so I use the HP deskjet 5400 series, and it works fine. Note that this older printer does not have wifi built in. This method will work with pretty much any printer connected by USB to the wireless print server, which is hard wired to our LAN.
The best way to print from your tablet is to have a network printer hooked up. This can either be via WIFI or wired ethernet. Most printer companies have their own apps for printing while connected to the same network as the printer. For example I have an app called "Samsung Mobile Print", and "Lexmark print". Both were free and both tell you what printers are compatible with this app.
