Printing from your smartphone shouldn’t be a complex task. With the modern Android Print Service, you can bypass cables and computers by sending documents directly to your printer over your local Wi-Fi network. This guide covers the essential steps to synchronize your mobile device with your office or home printer for seamless document management.
Ready-to-use Modules
Network Synchronization Module For successful communication, the Android device and the printer must reside within the same local IP subnet. This module handles the automated discovery process via the system’s default print service, ensuring a stable connection without manual configuration.
Print Spooling Module This logic manages the rendering of digital files (PDFs, emails, or images) into a format compatible with the physical hardware. It executes the hand-off from the application layer (like Gmail or Chrome) to the hardware’s print engine.
