Has anyone found a way to get better printing support in the browser?
Seems it only supports samsung printers and samsung only make business lasers so pretty pointless feature...
The printershare app is poor and the layout for printing is cut off and is even poor for photos in that u simply can't get an uncropped print made no matter what settings are selected. Also, printer share doesn't support https I.e. printing flight boarding passes requires direct printing from the browser.
Has anyone come up with a hack for better printer support?
Thanks

I installed Toshiba Printer Share app from the link below and its AWESOME!!!!!!

You need to be rooted. You can use root explorer and move apk to system/app and check all permissions and restart your tab. You should be good to go.
Why not use cloud print? Works beautifully. Using it with my HP printer.
So I go to print option in the browser and I asks me to select a samsung printer...
Also I'm pretty sure you can't print https to cloud print or the toshiba print app. As I mentioned in my first post, you have to select the share with button, and then select an app to share it with - this doesn't work with protected pages so the one thing I would actually print out, I can't.
Is this any different with other tablets or browsers?

Do you have tried printershare premium , you must pay this app for the key

My < Printer is a Canon MG6250 Wireless > and i can print Html pages out of the browser with printershare premium - select share page - then you thake printershare and printing
As far as I can tell, any app that requires the "share to" command will not work with an https address, and printershare has been poor in getting the entire content of normal webpages or photos printed so, while printershare works, it is with limited functionality.

Open a file in the app you want to print from. Pick settings, then look for a Print option. You may have to tap "More" if it isn't one of the first choices. The first time you use it it will prompt you to pick a printer. If you don't own a Samsung WiFi capable printer you're out of luck though. I've got a nice Canon printer on my network, but no printing to it with this tablet.
I use PrinterShare Premium, which isn't free ($12.95), but if you use Google Cloud printing then that will work with the free version of PrinterShare.
What if I have a
Printer with an ip address? Anyway to make that work?

Moving to Q&A
PrinterShare Premium is the way to go so far. It's about $13, but it works just fine for wifi printers.
I got printershare pro when it was free at amazon and it doesn't print to my canon pixma 620 (not the newest printer, but wifi). It prints, but not correctly.
Apologies for the late entry (I may need to start a new thread), but I have a kind of weird issue.
Just got a Samsung MV 1865 wireless printer. Works great on my Windows WiFi group. I can also print just fine from my older Galaxy 7" (no extra app installed on that one, just select Print and then let it find that Samsung printer on the same network). But, my 10.1 can't see that same printer. Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: Disregard. I installed the Samsung printing app and somehow that forced the native print settings to see the Samsung printer on my network. At least I guess that's what happened.
I just installed "Samsung Mobile Print " from Android Market. I just printed to a wired Dell printer on my network. Should work fine with a wireless printer I would think.

Depending on which Dell Printer you have, it may very well have been manufactured by Samsung. For a period of time at least Sammy manufactured Dell Laser printers, so if you've got it to work with a Dell, there's a good chance it's really a sammy.
Printer Share app, the paid version, will not print documents created with mobile office apps-- see my conversation below--
Hello,
This happens when you use mobile office apps for creating your documents.
It should not happen with the documents created or saved with desktop
MS Office software.
There is a known workaround to this problem (besides modifying/saving
the mobile-created document with desktop MS Office). You can send this
document to Google Docs which converts documents upon upload.
Here is a detailed explanation of the workaround (under the heading
'When opening certain word documents I get various Docs Render
errors'): http://printershare.com/help-mobile-faq.sdf
Our apologies for the caused inconvenience.
We are planning to fix this issue in future updates.
Have a nice day

More details? Logcats?
yeah, this is a bit concerning.. can you provide more details...
is this wifi printing? bluetooth printing? who told you that you can only print to samsung printers? error msg? tech support?
thanks!
See attached photo.
Scenario: browse to any URL (my iGoogle mobile homepage in this case). Hit the menu button. Select More. Select Print. This is the menu which pops up.
What gives?
Bump... anyone has any idea how to circumvent this obstacle?
No clue - again, need more details... Bluetooth? Wifi? Does CM7 allow printing from the browser?
In the case of wifi this wouldn't surprise me due to printer driver hell... Printer drivers are highly nonstandardized, and a full CUPS package would be half the damn ROM!
Bluetooth printers may or may not be more standardized.
I'm with a stock ROM, and this dialogue box jumps up before attempting to print through WiFi.
The problem is, I have the HP app for printing any document I have on my phone (PDF, JPG, DOC) installed and it works just fine - but the browser dialogue doesn't allow you access to third party apps like the Share Page function allows you to share through many different apps. Print should be the same = print through <choose app/service>. Instead - we get print to Samsung printers only...
Is there a way to print directly from Prime+Dock, directly to a printer WITHOUT A COMPUTER.
Situation: Epson 960, webtv, and the Prime
When visiting my 95 year old mother, I sometimes want to print items. The only technology is her webtv. The printer will connect to webtv or the prime dock by USB cable.
I haven't found a "stand alone" printing app for the prime...All available seem to want a Wifi Printer, or wifi connection to the home network.
The only solution that I can think of would be to put whatever I wanted to print as an attachment to an email, then open it in WebTv, then print that way...
Anyone have any better suggestions?????
PLEASE!!!!!
Thanks,
Bob
There is an app for that. It's name is printershare.

From what I read, that printer needs either Wifi or Bluetooth capabilities.
Direct USB cable connection does not seem to be an option?
Printing from Prime
I've been using CloudPrint... requires a pc somewhere to have been setup with Cloudprint, but it works with my Galaxy Note and TF201... for work and home printers.

This app looks promising, however the free demo only prints a greyscale test page, which doesn't look great on my printer. The real app is quite expensive and I'd like to know how good it really is before I pay. Let me explain what I mean.
I found a Brother app which works with my printer. However, print quality is rubbish. It looks like it rasterizes web pages into medium-resolution graphics and sends this to the printer. The effect is quite horrible: fonts are fuzzy and text difficult to read. The test page from Printershare looked exactly the same.
So, how does Printershare deal with web pages and PDF documents? Does it do the same rasterizing trick, or does it send proper fonts to the printer and let it render prints properly.
Another problem for me is that Printershare does not have my Brother HL5250 driver, so I have to use a nearest hit...

I tried searching for this with no luck, but does anyone know where or how I can add drivers to the Flyer (rooted, with HC)? I have an HP wireless printer (4700 series) but am unable to print from the Notes app because the printer is not supported. Any assistance is appreciated.

I use PrinterShare for printing from all my mobile devices. Gives ability to print to remote printers or direct print to hardwired or wireless printers from about any app. Works well for me and the best thing I know of unless your printer has an Android app available.
Might check out Printbot as well. Not sure if it will work with your printer though.
Doesn't answer your original question, but if you are just trying to print info from Notes, why not just open Evernote on your home computer and print from there?

I have PrinterShare installed as well but didn't know I could print from the native Notes app with. Will have to give that a shot.

That was the issue: I wasn't near a computer at the time but was connected to a wireless printer.
Wish there was a way to support more printers in these apps.
Finally upgraded to N2 from Incredible. So far the phone is great. My question is anyone know how to print to a network printer from this phone? I don't have Samsung printer. Thanks
Many printer mfg's have apps out for printing from your phone, you just have to see if yours is supported.
If you have a printer that is connected to a network that you have a computer connected to, you can go into Google Chrome on your computer and set your printer up as a Google Chrome printer. once that's done you can access the Google Chrome printers from the internet and print things at home while you are out and about. Including from your phone.

I picked up PrinterShare Mobile Print in the Amazon App Store back when they offered good free apps and that's what I use when I need to print from my phone or tablet. Allows printing to supported wifi printers, Google Cloud Print, and I think a few other options.
Thanks all for the tips. I'll try them out once I get home later.

+1 on PrinterShare. Got it back in the good ole days when Amazon had some useful free apps. Premium is $12.95 but goes on sale a few timse a year.
Another vote for PrinterShare. It's hands down the best all-around printing solution for Android devices. Most other apps are hit and miss, or require specific printers and/or phones. PrinterShare has worked with every Android device I've tried it on, and it's worked with every networked printer I've used with it (including a 12-year-old printer my parents are still using).
