Cloud Printing - Android Printing - Android to Network Printing

Print to network printer without wifi from Android

Many older printers do not have the ability to print directly thru them thru wifi.   Google has a useful tool that can help.

  • On your pc, which can print to the printer you want to print to, you can open your Chrome Browser, and login with your Google Account.  Make sure it's the same Google Account you use on the Android Device.
  • Now Go to the upper right corner with the 3 dots  - it's Google's Menu
  • Scroll down to Settings
  • Scroll all the way to bottom for ADVANCED
  • Now scroll down to where you see Google Cloud Print
  • You can now add that printer to your Google Account 
  • On your Android Device from Google Play Store download Cloud Print Plus
  • When you open that app you can see the printer(s) that are available
Happy Printing
