amazing, android authority you are the best

[@ianthefirth]

The lack of printing from the native Gmail app is possibly the biggest oversight Google is guilty of in the last 5 years. I used to print from my Palm Pilot.

[@ElaineO]

I've used this app and love it but thanks to this article, I just learned that I can share a printer with someone. How awesome is that?? thanks #Android Authority =)

[@jeremydee7503]

Really helpful video. Good, clear explanations. Explains choice of apps. THANK YOU!

[@shekharmarathe1]

Thank you Mr Mark for sharing this valuable information

[@khanssaheb]

thank you very much this video has been very helpful

[@CarniKen]

Thank you. I found this video very helpful!

[@saundrabrown1873]

Thank you Mark for sharing ☺

[@tammysoutherland1405]

Thank You so much trying to print from android for coupons etc was making me anxious

[@ariannaacuna154]

this was awesome thank you Android! :-)

[@lucy9500]

is it possible to print multiple pictures onto the same paper at once ? sort of like a collage ?

[@vmm5163]

Tearing my hair out with these instructions. I want to know, like many other people on here, how the hell you just attach an Android phone without any other p.c or internet connection. OK, gonna scream now

[@Lisa808]

Tarim Ali I hear you but a lot of the frustration comes from you obviously smart tech peeps responding with answers like "OTG cable" and nothing else. If we freaking knew how that worked we wouldn't be dicking around here....riiiight? I give it up to y'all, I'm not smart like you and your answer does give me something to google off but I swear when techy people ask me to help them with things like cooking I don't just say "spatula" and walk off.

[@mitravindgarg5372]

How can we print from NearByUSB - Printer option shown at 5:45 in your video ? Can you upload a video for that also ?

[@fathimahusna763]

it really worked. thank u soo much.

[@cipakuman]

Wonderful! Thanks!

[@pinaysainglatera171]

what if I don't have laptop nor computer?

[@razorblatter]

It works but the Google Cloud Print app doesn't present an icon so that I can't print from anywhere. For example, from the gallery. Now I added Printershare and that works great. Also because I can print with Printershare via the Share button.

[@sekarrahawarin4386]

Thank you so much

[@shakira2.0alexisjinks8]

so for the otg cable can i use any usb cable?

[@michaelthorley6613]

I spent two years as an army instructor and it was stressed early on that you don't talk and demonstrate at the same time. First say what you're going to do then shut up and do it so people can follow without the distraction of the non-stop chatter. I know you'll say this instruction is different but it would help understanding if you could pause when something is tricky or difficult to see.

[@SamanthaMardy]

what if you don't have a computer and you just want to print from your phone?

[@pancalmubal537]

otg cable + Mobile Print - PrinterShare app

[@sheikhsuleiman9208]

[@laibafarooqui9194]

[@KentSpain85]

I was thinking the exact same thing half way through the video! I was wondering if he got paid for each time he said it xD haha. Great video though!

[@arena6087]

Nice work bro 🆕 support

[@parasurambezawada5671]

Good video..

[@konic40]

so for the most part you need an internet connection..have an old S2 and it has a print option but only allows printing to a samsung printer LOL. Do any other phone manufacturers support printing directly, you know, better than samsung?

[@johanachavez188]

Can this also happen with a iPhone

[@ClaraSais]

i have print from eurosmartz on my samsung seems ok!

[@DavidDiaz-ys3bq]

90% of this was simply on google cloudprint. I'm not interested in cloud, simply printing from my android phone, via wi-fi or NFC. my samsung phone won't "find" my samsung C460W Xpress printer and I'm trying to find out what I'm doing wrong, if anything. Thanks

[@EliteEarnings01]

Okk

[@AModestMouse]

Thx yo¡

[@marvzafe]

[@ashleyphillips9996]

[@thurm101]

This would be great if you didn't need your computer on to use it. If you need your computer on why would you need your tablet or cell?

[@breezy_kayla1716]

Tyyy

[@ProBenja5]

If your printer has WiFi it doesn't need a computer, if it does not have WiFi it needs to be on and connected to a computer with internet connection.

[@weslibravo]

It should Cloud Print app to print from mobile device??

[@myraroco3859]

Maybe... The way I understand it too.

[@amitjha5351]

Very nice

[@DarthBagel]

[@Beer_Dad1975]

You don't need your computer to be on if the printer supports Google Cloud Print natively. I have a cheap multifunction Canon wireless printer I got about a year ago and it works fine from my phone or tablet stand alone.

[@thomasbuckner6303]
