In this fast-paced world, convenience is key. The good news is that with the advancement in technology, printing from your Android device has become more accessible and effortless. This guide is designed to provide you with a step-by-step process on how to print from your Android device with ease, no matter where you are.
Step 1: Connect your device to a printer
Before you can print from your Android device, you need to connect it to a printer. The easiest way to do this is to connect your Android device to a local Wi-Fi network, which should also be connected to your printer. Once connected, go to 'Settings' on your Android device, select 'Printing', and then add your printer. If your printer is not displayed automatically, search for it manually by selecting 'Add Service'.
Step 2: Install Google Cloud Print
Google Cloud Print is an excellent tool to print from your Android device. To use Google Cloud Print, you need to have a Google account. Install the Google Cloud Print app on your Android device, log in with your Google account, and select 'Print' from any app to print your document. You can also print from a web browser by opening Google Chrome and selecting the 'Print' option. Once you've selected 'Print', your document will be printed on the selected printer.
Step 3: Use the Print Share feature
The Print Share feature is built into most Android devices and allows you to print directly from any app that supports the feature. To use the Print Share feature, open the app you want to print from, and select the 'Share' option. From the list of available options, choose 'Print Share.' The app will convert the document into a format that can be printed and send it to your printer. Confirm the print settings and click on the print button.
Step 4: Use a Third-Party App
Sometimes, your printer might not be compatible with your Android device. In such cases, you can use a third-party app to print. There are various third-party apps available on the Google Play Store, and you can use any app of your choice. Some of the popular third-party apps for printing are PrinterShare, PrintHand, and Epson Print Enabler.
