Seems a lot of people are not familiar with this service.
Google offers a free service through which you can print from your tablet wirelessly to any printer connected to your computer. It is pretty simple.
1. Download Chrome Browser on your desktop.
2. Go to Advanced Settings Link in Settings.
3. Scroll down to "Google Cloud Print"
4. Click "Manage Print Settings...", and pretty much follow the instructions from there.
Then on your tablet,
1. Download "PrinterShare" from Play Store.
2. Follow instructions. When given the option you will choose Cloud Printer.
3. Print by sharing your document with your PrinterShare. Works best if you share it as an image file.
4. You can adjust the layout of the printed document just prior to printing.
That's it.
Yeah. You can use print share mobile too. I find the interface a tad better and while it does have a pay portion there is no limit for charge for printing through Google cloud print with it. However I've never paid attention to if you can print through the share option with this as I normally save the file then print it.
I've almost got myself talked into a Samsung printer to print directly from snotes.
Edit: just checked and you can print via share as well.
Yeah the share thing is helpful because you can obviously print directly from websites. It also compresses the website into a .pdf for you prior to printing.

Just checked snotes and it looks like you can print via share from there if you choose share as an image file. The hand written notes only take up 1/4 of a normal piece of paper this way though. Not sure about anything else like drawings.

Oh really? Cool will have to check that.
** Just make sure your desktop computer isnt sleeping or it wont work. For me notes took up whole page.
Ok i see. If you use the Printer Share app then yeah it prints them small. However, if you want to print multiple pages you have to use Printer Share. The Cloud Print app only works on individual pages.
OK, If using PrinterShare you can select "printer options" then "size to page" and notes will fill entire page
Yeah PrinterShare definitely the way to go here.

Epson has Epson iPrint as a free app in the Play store. It works with a bunch of their printers, including mine. I can print straight from my tablet to the printer - without going through the Internet or another computer.
And I can scan straight from my printer (it's an all-in-one) to my tablet, too.
So, when shopping for a new printer, maybe check to see if the manufacturer has an Android app like what Epson has. Or get an Epson. Supporting manufacturers directly, who are supporting Android, seems like a good idea to me.
Thanks. Good heads up on that.

Right. My Epson printer isn't connected to a computer, either. It has WiFi and an Ethernet port, so it's just on my home network.

Try PrinterShare, it is a more robust app.
I installed Cloud Print last night on my GN 10.1 and it is working fine. But I can't figure out how to print anything from either Office Suite or Polaris Office. Doesn't seem to be a way to send the files anywhere, Any ideas?

In Polaris Office open the File Browser at the bottom left. Check mark the file you wish to print. Then click the solid black arrow at the stop right and choose Printer Share to print it.
In Office Suite you can share a document by going to the folders view and checkmarking the documents you wish to print then clicking the Share button at the top right. Then just select your Printer Share app from the list and you are good to go.

I want to use tablet as a webcam not stream video , that app dose nothing like that . Thanks tho
Not sure what you really want
You asked for an app that will allow the use of the Nexus 7 as a webcam on the Internet. If you are not streaming video, how are you going to use it?
With the app mentioned, it makes the output of the front facing camera available for access on your LAN or via the Internet assuming you setup your router properly. And webcam reading software works fine with it.
The camera is poor for that type of use for two reasons. 1) it is facing forward not out the back, and 2) it is not a very high resolution camera. Unless you were placing this somewhere in a fixed position, it is very hard to control as it ends up with an upside down image and is hard to point.
You can see it using webcam capture programs like tinyCam monitor from another device. It doesn't provide audio output.
If that is not what you are asking for, you need to provide a better description.

You need a chat app on your device then... not a webcam app.
I don't use MSN anything so I am not familiar with it or what that service provides, but something like

I've visited a website that uses HTML5 instead Flash or Silverlight for their video on my GNote, and it worked with the built-in cameras. I don't recall the name of the website, but it was a chatroulette-like tech demo for HTML5. Once people start switching away from Flash we'll start seeing this more. It's pretty rare at the moment.

So, no luck for chatroullet users on nexus 7 ? That's a downer ...
If anyone come up with a solution for the chatroullet fans, I would apreciate the reply.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Theres another app called droidcam wireless webcam. You download a desktop program to go along with the app. It works through wifi or usb, I used it through usb about a year and a half ago. From there, i ran it through manycam, which is a virtual webcam program, by selecting it as the video feed. At that point, it should work with any program and internet website...such as chatroullet . You should just select manycam as your default camera and it should work. I used it with skype though, so i cant verify if it works or not..but in theory it should.
Again, i keep saying should, because it might not work right away. It definitely took a bit of play with the settings (and lots of unplugging and replugging) before i got it to be functional. I'll be able to test it tomorrow night if you didnt get it up and runing, as i am currently on vacation.
cheers

EDIT: sorry, i misread this post. I cant help you with that one, but if you wanted to use it as an external computer webcam...see above .
Using IP Webcam, this is easy to do...
Download the latest Manycam program. In sources, select your ip webcam,( http://192.168.1.129:8080/videofeed )(example)
In your chat program select Manycam as the source.
That's going through windows, as far as using the nexus 7 by
Itself, its not possible.
Does anyone know how to print via wifi? i try using office suite and want to print, so i install could print and there is no choice to connect the printer..i also try print share, had the same problem...
if someone know how to do it, please guide me.. thanks
Easiest way I found was to download the app for your printer (if there is one available) & then use the share feature in any given app like say gallery to move your desired print to the app & use that to physically print whatever it was you wanted to print.

i using printer at my office..Office printer is HP Laset Jet, and it has a wireless network..but i don't know how to configure it. i don't understand how to set up the printer.. i try connect wifi from my office and after that click print (while hold the file that i want to print) there is an option to add printer, no option to configure my HP laser jet..
i did this last night at it was pretty easy. Download printer share app for your tablet or some type of printing app. download chrome on your desktop that is configured to use that printer. open chrome go to settings-advanced-sign in to google print- add printer- make sure the printer listed on your desktop is on the list in the browser. On your tablet and the app you just downloaded select the option to use a cloud printer and then look for google or google print, log in, check to see that the printer that you want to use is listed. voila. If your network is setup like our (intranet) then youll have to ask your I.T. dept about this. I know i cant set up mine to print to any thing connected to our work VPN.

HTC One printing
I never have been able to print from my phone, it has never been able to find my printer.
I have searched for answers but nobody has my problem.
My HTC One can use WiFi from my router, I have two laptops and two wireless desktops all able to print from my shared Samsung USB printer connected to the one desktop.
I have not tried any Apps since the HTC has its own print option.
Any suggestions?
This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.

Hello guys! The first thing that positively surprised me the first time I used my gpad was the improvement given by LG software.
In particular Slide Aside(too freeze an app) Q Slide (kind of multi windows experience) and quick memo are very good. How can I the same feature on other devices (like my galaxy s4, where samsung software are only garbage).
Any third part software?

I don't know... I personally find slide aside and qslide kind of worthless. What I find useful is the built in samba server over wifi - now that's useful.
not all the program have a real resume function, so I need to find something similar for my smart phone. It's all depending on a how you use the phone
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
I guess I'm not clear how using qslide is all that much different than holding home and switching tasks that way. I mean I guess qslide may prevent the garbage collector from killing an app before you are ready... but I've never seen that be an issue in any practical use since it doesn't clean up right away.
Now, one thing that I stumbled upon today that is really nice is when you copy text, a widget comes out with all of your recent copy's! Now That is Really Handy! Now, how to get back to it once it disappears...

I'm sure there are decent apps out there, I was just impressed that LG would include something so useful that does require some technical knowledge. It requires you to \\<ip> and login with a provided username/pw.

Anywhere that you're going to enter text, press and hold the screen. There will be two options, Paste, or Clip Tray. Clip Tray will get you everything you've copied.
It also comes up in a menu when you highlight a word, for example when copying, it should give an option for Clip Tray as well
