Printing documents from Android is easy

1) Checking printer compatibility

For starters, determine whether your printer is compatible with an Android device. The good thing is the majority of those devices let users make prints using phones. Some older printers, however, may not offer this feature.

If your printer does not support printing from smartphones, you can replace it with a Google Cloud Print-compatible printer or a wireless one that does.
