dunno what browser you're using but if you're using google chrome, download cloud print, it's free.
works great actually(only had it installed for a day, but i have heavier printer usage as a photographer/designer), haven't had an issue yet

I use an Epson.

[Q] Printing from the 10.1

is there an app like airprint on the ipad so we can print from the 10.1?
Try google cloudprint. Works even with my usb printer connected to my NAS!
Set up printers and manage printque in chrome then you can print doc's from the cloudprint app.
Or u can check if you printer manufacturer has got its own app B-)

Don't want to be rude. But its amazing how lazy people are getting. And are expect that you will get everything served on a silver plate.
Have you even tried to search the Market?
Almost every printer manufacture have their own app, Samsung,hp, Kodak and so on.
I have a Samsung printer and use their app and its work good. Also used the app below some times
If you dontfind your print i recommend this app below.

And see here. I just typed the word printer, and see how many apps that you can try and see for u self what is the best app

I use PrintShare. It works fine for me. The manufacturer of my printer has an app for Android, but it only allows me to print photos and not documents.

Moving to Q&A

Printer Drivers

I wonder if any chef can add more drivers to the printer other than the HP. I have a brother brand and it will not connect to it. Is it possible the edit the printer driver script?
I would like this also, I have a lexmark and it doesn't detect it :/

What are you using to print with?
I have Printer Share and it works with the Brother, Kodak, HP's and Canon that I use.
If your printer is connected to your computer that's also on the network, then you should download "Google cloud print" on both your phone and comp and that is a workaround. That's what I have to do.

Well, you can print almost anything with an app called 'printershare'. It is a little costly, but worth it to me. This app actually is integrated with your device, so printing wouldnt be done through documents to go; but rather through a file explorer or the printershare app. There are also some free alternatives and some require printers that support google print? For instance, hp's technology. Can't remember what its called? Anyways, I recommend printershare!

That's an excellent app, but it requires your computer to be running if you wanna print. It uses the google cloud printing service, which is awesome! Though, for a pc-free printer; it needs to support hp's e-print, or something? The printer would have to support google cloud printing.

Well basically what I'm trying to do is print excel files that are in my dropbox.I have a canon printer and an app that I got from the market but it only picks up things from the gallery.Dunno if I could import the xl files into there and see if they're picked up

[Q] Free printing app?

Has anyone found a free printing app compatible with the Nook Tablet? I tried Google Cloud Print but you need your computer on for it to work...which, to me, defeats the purpose of having the app since the NT is Wi-Fi only. I couldn't get GCP to work anyway.
Only other thing I found was PrinterShare Mobile Print, but you have to buy pages, etc.

That...that just doesn't help at all.
I've got an HP printer and the HP ePrint app worked fine with my rooted Nook Color. I've installed it on the Tablet and it will see my networked HP printer, but it won't print to it. If you have an HP printer, you might take a look at that and see if you can get it to work.
I probably should have noted I have an HP Deskjet 3050 wireless...not ePrint compatible, already tried that. =/

I'm very pleased with Cloud Print, but I use ProWOL app to wake my PC if it is sleeping prior to printing. I have a HP photosmart 7200. Wake On Lan can be tricky to set up, and but once the router is configured properly, it works great.
You need to enable adhoc on your Nook Tablet. There is a mod available here on xda. I used it on mine and was then able to see my hp printer.

I've done this, now how do I search for my printer?

I found Epsom iPrint for free at the market. It only works for wireless Epson printers. It won't work for your HP but for others looking at this thread may find it useful.

I found that Printer Share works great. Have it on my NT and Captivate.

I'll second Printer Share, it works great for me. I've also discovered that Google Cloud print works great also. I used it today while out of town to send a document to my printer at home.

Yes but don't you have to purchase pages?

No, at least I haven't since I purchased it a few weeks ago.

Printing VIA Note

I've heard of this, even went into office Max to see about figuring it out. Has anyone got any experience with this?

I have printer share from the play store, and it works with a lot if printers. Also, I use an Epson app for my wp-4530 at the office.

You can set up Google cloud printing. Its in Google chrome. You just set up the printer you have (in chrome settings) and it works pretty well. Think you just need Google chrome browser on your phone and pc (that has connection to the printer) and Google's Cloud Print app on your phone.
The Cloud Print app actually gives instructions how to set it up.

I have a laserjet and a Togo usb cable, and use printer share.
Thanks for all the answers..
Apparently ics has a built in wifi printing system that establishes a link with any wifi enabled printer. Works pretty well actually.
