As above really, my mum is looking at getting a nexus 7 and using it to type simple letters and print emails instead of using her pc.
Will the nexus 7 be able to connect to a non network, standard USB printer using some form of adapter?

The Nexus 7 doesn't have a USB port but if it does support USB host then you can get external hardware for that

its iffy,if the printer supports print bridge it might work
I have a printer that connects to the router, and the whole network can use it wirelessly.
My phone can use it by "emailing" it to the printer, so the N7 should be able to as well. I hope anyway.
Was only like 50 bucks at walmart I think.

There is printing app from a Googler in the Play Store. Just make sure the printer is connected to a google account & you can print to that.
Maybe Google cloud printing would work here. I never tried it with an Android device, but it seems like it might be a good option for her. Set up the Chrome browser, printer and Cloud printing up on the PC and she should be able to print from the tablet with compatible apps. I just don't know what Android apps are compatible with Google cloud printing.
Thanks for the help so far. I will put the options to her.

Get a wireless Epson printer and connect it to your wifi network. Download the Epson iprint app, and voila! That's how I print from my phone. But

Brother also has an app for printing over the network. You can also scan to your phone if your printer has this function.

I'm using a wifi adapter on my Xbox and using the hot spot on cyanogen 6 to tether it. It says the Nat is modarate and needs open. How u do this?

Is this possible?I'm connecting to Xbox live and can do everything except join a game in call of duty.

Wow.. I wouldn't even have thought about trying to run Xbox live through the Aria's tethering! Good for you! Now getting open NAT will probably be difficult, because usually it's a setting in the router that needs to be changed, but in your case the router is your Aria.
There's a video on this site showing how to set up Xbox Live using your Android Phone, but they use PDA Net and run the connection from the phone to a PC and then to the Xbox. It's 13 minutes and I didn't want to watch the whole thing to see if it addresses NAT, but it might be worth a view.

I had PDA net but laptop broke so this is my only way is wifi tether. I actually can pick up my neighbors wifi but only when he is there. I dunno if it has some kinda idle mode or what.

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.

To do what? share files? one control the other?
You could pair them by bluetooth I'd imagine. Not sure what Bluetooth profiles both use/have.
To share files tried Bluetooth the nexus paired to the iPod but the iPod couldn't pair to the nexus.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You could always get an iOS app that can upload and download to and from a storage service like Dropbox and get an Android app that can connect to whatever service you chose for your iPod to download and upload. You could sync through your chosen service as well so you don't have to do everything manually.
It's a little inconvenient but probably you're best bet if Bluetooth isn't working for you.

This is not possible unless both the iPod and N7 are rooted (jailbroken). If they are, it's easy.
There are a couple of iOS apps in Cydia that can make your iPod visible on a windows network. If your Nexus is rooted, using the Samba filesharing app will let you access the files on either device from the other provided they're on the same wifi network.
Paul over at Mocado has TeamViewer Server running on the N7. So you could use teamviewer on the iDevice and remote into the N7.
Might be cool on an iPad or something. If Teamviewer even has an iDevice app, which I'm probably sure they do.

nexus 7 as Minecraft PE hotspot server
Am searching for a way to do something like this....let me explain, and you can tell me if I am just way out there...
I bought Minecraft PE for my nexus 7, and for both my son's iPad and iTouch.
Is it possible to run software on the Nexus 7, so that it can act as a server, and the other two can connect to it....like on a LAN...?
This would allow us to play together in the van....if it is possible to make the Nexus act like a wireless Hotspot of sorts....
Not sure....but this is the place for people who know all things Android...
Hope this makes sense...
Thanks for any help...

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.

I can't just print from any app as long I'm on the same wifi as a part of the share options like in iOS?
I did register the printer with Google Cloud Print but still don't see print options in any of my apps, not even the stock ones...

Unfortunately, it can't be done on Android because it doesn't have that feature like iOS.

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.

It works (as far as I can tell), just find the apk and send it via Bluetooth to your tab and install.
Yes, it works! Use "app backup and restore" to grab the apk file from your phone and use that to install it on your n7.

You can use the App Market Helper to make the playstore think your tablet is a phone, I just checked and Office Mobile app shows up on my tablet.

This, I've had office suite pro for a while now and haven't had any complaints.
When I browse office mobile page in playstore, it says only compatible with Nexus 4. Says, not compatible with kindle hd and nexus 7. Same thing for Amex mobile. May be i can extract the apk of amex mobile from my nexus 4 and see if it works with my nexus 7.
+1 for office suite pro
Kingston and Quick Office are my favorites.
