Hi,
Hi anyone noticed that if you wish to print a page while browsing in Chrome (on the PC), the LG G2 is automatically added as a printer.
If you choose to print, the file is automatically sent to the G2.
How is this done and can I add other tablets or phone?

Hey what is a good app to use so I can print pictures and webpages from my phone to a printer?
Printershare works well. You basically long click the url, select share-> printer share and you can send it to a wifi printer.

One of the things that all android applications (and the system itself) lacks, is the ability to print. As mentioned, there are some weird HACKS that you can do to make this functionality a reality (hackishly), but what would be REALLY cool would be native network printer support. There is NO reason why this hardware can't handle CUPS.
Note that you CAN install CUPS on the phone and it WILL work, which would give you the ability to print from the terminal... and this is relatively easy... but due to application limitations, you wouldn't be able to print from any android applications that I am aware of.... the actual functionality on the application side would NOT even be difficult.
Thought I'd revive this thread rather than create a new one...
Has anyone tried one of the new HP printers with "eprint"?
or Google Cloud Printing?
or some other way to print from your phone?
What I need is a way to print mainly emails, and some documents.
I've been using the Google Cloud Print app on my Nexus 10 since it came out. I went to print one of my notes from Google Keep today by long pressing and then accessing the share menu. However, Google Cloud Print was no longer listed. So I looked in my app drawer and noticed it was missing. I then went to the play store to reinstall in, however it was already installed! The strange part is when I click on it, there is no option to open it or uninstall it like there usually is. I figured this probably got messed up when the Kitkat update came out. But I looked on my wife's Moto X which is also on 4.4, and hers can still access the Google Cloud Print app from the share menu of Google Keep (and it still appears in her app drawer). Her phone is just Android 4.4, while my Nexus 10 is 4.4.2, so I'm not sure if they changed it between 4.4 and 4.4.2. Since I only had regular 4.4 on my tablet for about a week, I don't recall if the Google Cloud Print app worked when I was on regular 4.4 or not. I'm guessing Google may have disabled it thinking that app developers would all start using the new print capability of Kitkat. But not even a 1st party app like Keep supports it yet! Does anyone else have this issue? Or at least a work around so I can print from Keep?
I'm using Google Print, but I don't have an app, it's in Settings, towards the bottom. I've had no problems.
Edit to add that I dont use the Keep app, so cant help you there. I mostly print from Gmail.

Thanks sttovo. I do have it in Settings under the Printing section as well. But it seems that only shows up in apps that have the new Print capability. The nice thing with the old Good Cloud Print app was that you could access it from the share menu in apps. Once more developers add the Print capability to their apps, this shouldn't be an issue any more. But in the mean time I don't know that there is a solution for apps that don't have a Print option but do have a Share option.

OK - I understand now. The native Google Print integration for 4.4 is for certain apps, like Gmail, Chrome and Google Drive.
I use Printershare Mobile Print (not free) to do what you stated. I don't know if it integrates with every app, but it did have a share-to option. I haven't used it about 6 months, so make sure you read up on it if you decide to buy. Sorry I wasn't of any help.

Thanks sttovo, I will check that out. Prior to the Official Google Cloud Print app, there was one by a 3rd party app that I used (also called cloud print). I may try that one again or try the HP e-Print app.
Any local network only alternatives to Android printing?
I get that the cloud is the way of the future and there's a huge convenience factor (no drivers, print from anywhere, etc...) but I just prefer not to hand sensitive docs out to a cloud service just to get them printed. Is there a way to remove the "Cloud" from printing with Android? I have never been able to print from Android because I'd really like to keep my printing local and not send sensitive documents to the cloud.
If my printer has no gateway configured and I'm able to disable my Nexus 10 wi-fi and print a document, I'd be on cloud 9 (ok, bad pun intended)

Look at my post, 2 before yours, is that not what you need? I know it's not free, but it doesn't involve the cloud at all.

Cloud print and cloud print pro (registered version) that is a frontend by Paulo Fernandez for Google cloud print. It works with any app that has a share button and can print from drop box, Google drive and sky drive or even straight from the clipboard Or Google calander. I love this app. I noticed Google added the cloud print to a few of their apps this time around, but still prefer this app (along WITH google cloud print) since it has many more setting you can change . you can also still print from almost any app/screen on the n10 (can't with Google print alone, yet)
I absolutely think this is where Google print should be heading, but it is already in this app!

It looks like Printer Share might be a solution for me! I'm going to try their free app and see how it works. Thanks, sttovo!!
If you use Windows 10 and want to view/save your camera photos on your computer, but haven't been able to by plugging the USB cord into your phone and computer and setting the USB charging option to File Transfer, try LG Bridge from a link on this page: digipassion.com/lg-bridge-pc-suite-software-for-lg-g4-free-download. After I downloaded the .exe file, logged in with my Google account and clicked on “Connect”, it found my T-Mobile LG V20 H918 wirelessly via LG Air and worked flawlessly to display my album folders in Windows Explorer (under Gallery folder) and then loaded all my photos with thumbnail images. Each album loaded separately, so it was not instantaneous, but it was still quick. It puts an LG Bridge shortcut on the desktop so once I click that, then I click Connect again, my folders show up and I can see my albums in the Gallery folder. I don’t sign out after I’m done, I just click “Disconnect” and close the app on my desktop so I don’t have to sign in again next time. NOTE: One thing I did change on my computer while seeking a solution – under System and also under Folder Options (Control Panel) -- I made sure that my settings were “show thumbnails instead of icons.” It’s in two places.
I got this phone about four days ago and from the beginning, was not able to view my Gallery photos or albums on my computer as I could before on a Droid Turbo. After attempting many solutions over the course of 10 hours/two days, including trying unsuccessfully to download LG Bridge from the main LG site and being told by the LG Live Chat lady that it was not what I wanted nor was it updated so it wouldn't work, I tried LG Bridge again. I got it to download onto my computer from the site above rather than LG.com. I’m not sure why the LG Chat lady told me that LG Bridge was not what I wanted and wasn’t updated unless it’s a coincidence that it was updated after I spoke with her. It is definitely what I want/need to see my photos. I can’t download it now from the main LG.com website Support page to see if that works now because I already have it on my computer. But possibly that would also work now.
It’s been a nightmare to get this working but I’m happy that whatever didn’t work before now works. I hope this helps others!
my G2 Screen is dead (flikkering and going crazy) i bought another phone (Moto G5S Plus) i have transfered all my files and apps to the new phone except for the default LG web browsers history and favorites (i always used the default LG web browser not chrome on the G2), how can i import them to the google chrome on the G5S plus or to a file on my computer?
no one can help?
Check for export/share/sync options in your browser. Go through everything in browser settings. Install a different browser like firefox and see if it lets you carry over bookmarks from stock, then u can sync it to new phone. Not sure how LGbackup works, but worth giving it a look

Booted up very fast.
Idk how this soft works, but I had to disable some of the apps manually after boot, it did not delete them.
Overall phone flies like a devil. No lags, no freezes, remembered my old nexus.
So far so good. Looks like everything works correctly.

This is the thread that I followed, highly recommend it!
The trouble with the app store debloaters, to me, all the permissions needed. I'm trying to make things better, not worse.
Do a google search on an apk if you're not sure what it does, most of the time some info comes up giving a decent idea. Also note in the above thread is the mention of a file mgr utility that allows you to 're install' a pkg, without having to do a complete reset. I've used it, it works.
I'd say this isn't really for beginners, but! it's a good way to learn your way around adb etc. What's the worst that could happen? You factory reset you phone... oh well, certainly not the end of the world.
adb is very powerful, it's good to use it to become familiar with it. There are commands to see your partition table, to start 'root' - if the phone allows it, to push and pull files, to mount partitions as RW, etc etc
Worth the effort to learn.
it's safe but not reliable. some LG apps integrate each other. Some of them will be fine if only disabled not removed.
Just in case anyone is still using this debloater: I discovered (the hard way) that removing LG Calendar also removes the Google Calendar Storage app, which renders Google Calendar (and most other calendar apps) nonfunctional.
