If you want to print a photo or document directly from your Android mobile device, you don’t need a computer or any special cables; you can do it using something called cloud printing.
Cloud printing uses “the cloud” of user data to allow your Android to communicate with the other devices on your server, including your printer. This makes printing easier than ever.
Once you have installed the Google Cloud Print app, you can use your Android device to print from almost anywhere. Here’s how to do it.
