How to print files using Android is something our users enquire about a lot. Thanks to the Google Cloud Print service, we can now cut out the laborious PC middle-man and print directly from our smartphones over Wi-Fi. So, here is the easiest way to print messages from your Android device...
The good thing about Google Cloud Print is that it works with all printers, and a ton of applications. Using your Android smartphone or tablet, you can securely send documents to your printer, from anywhere, but the initial setup can be tricky. To get the best experience, you are going to want to use a “Cloud Ready” printer, i.e. a printer which can already connect to the web (check out the full list of supported printers if you’re not sure), and you will need to be using Google Chrome also. Don't worry if you don't have a Wi-Fi enabled printer, you can use your USB printer too, though you will need to have it connected to your powered up PC or laptop to do this.
Many smartphones that come with Android 4.4 KitKat already include the Google Cloud Print functionality. Go to Settings > System and see if the Printing option is available. If it is, and the service is pre-installed, go to the options and hit “Cloud Print” and switch it on. Each device will have it's own particular interface, so some menu locations or words may be slightly different.
