A lot of people have asked me how to print from the Android platform. Printing is an incredibly challenging issue — even desktops have issues with printing. But the mobile platform is an entirely different beast. Printer manufacturers are only now starting to recognize the validity of printing from mobile devices.
While most printer drivers being released for the mobile platform are generic (so you wind up printing only in black and white and without all the bells and whistles you've grown accustomed to), it's still possible to print from Android with PrinterShare Mobile Print.
Sure, there are other print tools available, but of all the apps I've tried on the Android platform, PrinterShare Mobile Print is the best. However, it's not perfect. For example, PrinterShare only allows printing from:
If you have an email account other than Gmail, you'll have to forward that email to your Gmail account to print it. Really, it's a small price to pay for such an easy-to-use application. Just how easy is it? Let's take a look.

Don't worry, if PrinterShare works out and you want to purchase the full version, all you need to do is install the Premium Key.
Now that you have the app installed, it's time to get it up and running. First, you need to set up your default printer by following these steps.
From the menu pop-up, tap on the type of printer you want to set up. I'm going to set up a network printer, so I'll choose Nearby Printers (WiFi).
Step 2: Select your printerIn the newly-opened screen (see Figure B), select your desired printer from the list.Figure BIn many instances, especially with laser printers, if your printer is not listed in PrinterShare, try the 'Use Generic' option.
Once you've done that, you'll see a warning that tells you the Driver Pack must be downloaded. Tap Yes, and wait for the download to finish. This download is 4 MB, so make sure you have enough space on your SD card. After the pack downloads, you should be able to select the driver for the printer.
Step 3: Test the printerGo to the main PrinterShare screen and select an app to print from. Once you get to the item you want to print, tap the Print button, and then tap the second Print button (see Figure D).Figure DAfter you tap the Print button, a new window will appear (if you haven't already purchased the Premier version) that allows you to buy the app from the Android Market (or from PayPal) or print a test page. Tap the Print Test Page button to make sure your printer works. If it does, go forward with the purchase of the full app, and you'll have a working print service on your Android mobile.
It's not perfect, but PrinterShare Mobile Print will have you printing from your Android device easily and quickly. And at just under $13.00 (USD), it's well worth having instead of using print services that cost you an annual or per-print fee.
