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.

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:

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).
I have a Wifi enabled Canon printer
Does anyone know if the Wif Drivers for this will work on an N7 to work wirelessly??

check the android market and see if there is a app for the cannon printer you have.. If not We use Cloud print.. With google cloud print service...
There is a app for our printer but cloud print has more options for us. We have a Brother Network printer ..

Thanks for the tip about Cloud Print. I hadn't been able to print from my ZTE Warp phone (Nexus 7 is on the way) and now I can. Much appreciated.
I use PrinterShare which works great with Google Cloud printers, WiFi printers, etc. Have never had an issue with it.

I would like to get a good quality printer to use with my Note 3. Also, need the printer to be compatible with Apple OS > early Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
I'm looking to spend around $150-200 (US). I will not be using this printer for printing out pictures. Only Text, mostly for personal letters and educational articles.
Take a look at the printers with Google cloud printing feature. Pick the one with features you need. For that budget you should be able to get a very nice printer.

Hi,
I amnusing two of HP printers in my office, both with wireless built in.
This way, you can install the eHP-Print app and then print anything from your phone to this printer.
If you and printer are connected in the same wifi router, then it goes directly. Else, you have to set up your peinter for e-printing. Then you set a mail id for your printer and mail your doc or image to that mail id and its printed.
I am sure a black&white hp printer might be available for around $200 with wifi function.
Just got the Tab 4 and I have a Brother WiFi printer. The Tab 4 refuses to find this printer on the network (yes, they are both on the same network). Every time I try to print something it asks for a "service", so it sends me to Google Play to find a service. I already have the Brother app installed but this is the most idiotic thing ever because when the Brother app is installed I need to either select a file, photo or browser for example. So I wanted to print a web page that I visited earlier in Chrome for example I now need to get to the same page in the Browser option of the Brother App and then print it.
There has got to be a better way to do it and I can't understand what am I missing and why it cannot find the printer on the network.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you/
Is this a WiFi printer? I don't think it is supposed to be connected to the same network the printer needs to enable its WiFi and you will find it in the wifi scan with the tab.

I have a wifi Brother printer as well. I'm pretty sure you can use share in the chrome menu to send the webpage to the brother app. I havent actually tried the brother app. Ive used Print Hammermill from the play store this way though and it works fine with my printer. Hope this helps.
OP is over a month old without a solution posted. Have you had any luck setting this up? If not, have you considered Google Cloud Print? I use my parents' printer when I need, and they are about a 20 minute drive from me... So far no issues other than having to clear the cache from time to time.
This is what happens while I am not on my wifi.
I click Print on my Note 4 and when the printer menu pops up, it asks how I want to connect. Obviously, I do not want to use WiFi. I have tried to disable all other printer services and leave only Google Cloud Print, but I cannot select the printer.
Here are the 2 screenshots.

Any ideas why is this happening?
Did you setup cloud print support for your printer via desktop www.google.com/cloudprint

Just had this issue with my Note 4 as well. Need to print once to the printer over wifi. Then you WiFi be able to select the printer from the recently used list over your data connection. Seems like a bug were you can not select any printers from the Google cloud print plugin.
