Don't know if anyone knows about this but it's fantastic, I can print from my Xoom straight to my printer via desktop pc
This is very flexible, the app is called cloud print and you need google chrome, I can now print my reports written on ThinkFree from Chrome,
fantastic!!
It works natively with any HP network printer (I have one) and you can also print straight from Google docs (drive). Really nice to have, but I haven't had a need for it yet.

Since my MacBook went to sh*t I have been limited to my Xoom for doing everything and let me say that Cloud Print has saved my life.
I got a great new job, went through the whole process from cover letter and resume to interview and everything just using the Xoom, Google Docs and Cloud Print.
It works VERY well!

Is it this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pauloslf.cloudprint
(Just that it's not "owned" by Google, so I don't want to give that much permission to an app from a random).
Cheers.

It is built into Google Docs. Choose the web view of your document to get to the print option. Make sure you have set your printer up.
You don't need an app. This is not Apple.

I just played with it, I was able to add my own computer using an ip address. This way you can import the books that you already own.

The "LumiRead" provides an interface to books that you can purchase. You could also download from Amazon. These are legal downloads.
You can also try Project Gutenberg for some free clasics.
free science fiction and fantasy ebooks
Free and completely legal and available in a variety of formats.
I'm too new to post links so just google these two items?
baen free library
baen free cd
Please don't flame, but usually torrents to be honest. They're the easiest to ACTUALLY find. I have all the novels I download, so it's not that bad. But all my books work with an app called iReader. No, not made for apple. Just called that. lol.
I get most of my books from Barnes and Noble. I like the nook app, and they have a free book every Friday.

I personally read more-or-less only computers- and engineering-related books myself, and those are never on sale anywhere, let alone free :/
For lighter reading I just turn to Manga Watcher
Alright, I need a pdf reader that has the same interface and effects as the 'lumiread' and smoothness of 'the pdf to go'

Another vote for the nook reader. Very fast, comfortable night mode, with independent brightness setting, which makes it nice for reading in the dark, also will sync between devices for books you buy through their store, although mostly I just load epubs from other sources.
First, I find smashwords.com great for buying ebooks, in addition to bn.com
Also if you have a collection using Calibre for your desktop PC, I wrote "Calibre Library" for Android in the Google market. It's not free but it's only $2.99. It lets you browse your Calibre or other opds source wirelessly. Real geeks can even make it work over the Internet. ;-)

I've been using Aldiko Reader for ePub-format books from Baen's site (and the CDs they toss into every 2nd or 3rd book in big series it seems) for a couple of years; it also supports PDF viewing, not sure if it works with encrypted PDF though. The other nice thing about Baen is that once you've bought an eBook, you can download it in multiple formats (I started with Windows Mobile Reader and moved to ePub with a stop at RTF along the way.)
Otherwise I've got both the Nook and Kindle apps installed.
i just download pdf format and throw it in the lumi reader folder on the sd card. that way it picks it right up and has no problems with any pdf format.

Because they hide it! tap on the bottom of the page to bring up the settings, then on "all settings" it's listed under "page theme" select night and you get night mode. They also offer sepia and butter, if the default theme isn't creamy enough for anyone.
Is there any app to print word files using the full sized usb 2.0??.....

The best printing "solution" I have found yet is Cloud Print. It prints using the Google Chrome remote printing integration.
Never found anything that would work direct.

So you're looking for a USB printer with an Android print driver? Ugh, good luck with that happening (not meant as sarcasm, but I really don't see it happening any time soon (what percentage of the world's printers' owners have Android 3.1+ devices to make it economically feasible to write the code?)
I've seen some printers (HP, Canon, Kodak) that have an Android WiFi printing app, and there are some cloud-based printing platforms.
Closest I found on ye old web search thingie was Polaroid has a Bluetooth printing app that works with some of their photo printers.

Would a printer with bluetooth work? I know the last Epson I had (RX595) and the HP printer my sister has are Bluetooth capable.

Which is the best office suite for android
documents to go or office suite 6 ( or any other app) ?
Using Arc S with official ICS
Office Suite Pro 6 from MobiSystems is REALLY good...
It was recently on offer for 69p, but it's well worth the proper asking price.
Try kingsoft. I find that awesome..
And it is completely free.

You can also check out CloudOn, it uses MS Office over the internet. Great if you need all the features etc. It also auto syncs with your dropbox, box and google drive accounts
Try smartoffice.
I'd go with Quickoffice.

Have tried QuickOffice and Documents To Go, I believe DTG is better.
I believe that all of them are going quite the same job u just need to find the interfaceu like
So far I've only tried OfficeSuite, but most of the interfaces are the same.
And to be honest, it is so difficult to work with phones on them, since you don't have all the tools you'll get on a computer.
Either way for small editing or checking some files, OfficeSuite will do the work.
I think I am in heaven... This phone, pardon the pun, is truly Epic..
Today solves my last issue I have had, printing from my phone, and Google now allows me to do this with ease.
I think I could actually go without my laptop now. Life is good. Thank you CM9 team, thank you Google.:good:

What sort of printer do you have? I want to see Cloud Print hacked onto DD-WRT, which would enable a lot of people to easily print from any Android device, with almost any printer. My AP is my print server.

How do you print from it? I had no idea that was even possible.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I am using Printer share from the market, It was free a couple months ago from the Amazon app store. But what makes it complete is the Google printing part.
I'm using several printers at work that are on the network. At home I am using my Epson Wi-Fi printer. Still it is amazing.
On another note, I don't think my phone has ever looked better either.

that big gaudy sense clock ruins it! jk.
To add to the completeness.. there was also just released a Scan to Phone app, that is supposed to allow you to scan directly from your scanner to your phone
A trial version is available, that allows 10 scans to verify if your scanner works
Accusoft USB Scanner - Trial
i have a program called Camscanner that works quite well for that. Pretty much an office in my hand. :laugh:

Got Print Share and Camscanner...to really be complete you need Officesuite Pro! I've tried Quickoffice and Documents to Go and OfficeSuite really is the best IMO.
Yeah, I should of added I have that too. When I am setting in a meeting and can go back through emails while I am sitting there, and print it out, it is pretty awesome.

Ok so I just got a new printer and I connected it to my wi-fi and all is working fine. I was able to detect it and print with it on all of my computers and I all my iOS devices detected straight away and I was able to print but I can't for the life of me figure it out on my N4. What am I missing?

That depends on your printer and the right app to do so. Did you read the manual if Android phones can be use to connect wirelessly to print documents?
There are apps on the Play Store that allows you to connect to your printer if it's compatible with each other.
Like this for instance:

No it doesn't. You just need an app to pass the document to the printer. Lots of things aren't built in native because it would bog down the firmware. You think people complain about app being bloat??? Imagine what would happen if they added junk code 80% of people never use....
No the problem is Apple They've taken simple stuff and made it their own so when you buy a printer with AirPrint it only works with Apple devices.
My HP LaserJet at work can print from any wireless device because it uses WIFI Direct (what AirPrint was originally but then Apple changed it and then patented it and called it their own).
When you buy stuff designed to work with Apple products they can generally only work with Apple stuff (well mobile iOS stuff I mean, obviously not desktops and laptops which can work with anything with the right drivers )
Try this.

Works like a champ over here, and Google drive can print as well of you set it up right.
