Printing from Android?

---

I searched these forums but could not find anything. Has anyone developed a way to print documents from inside android? Or anyone know of a creative way to accomplish this?

Thanks.

It might be possible to do it from debian using cups but not you can't do it natively yet.

Wouldn't this be possible through Telnet? (That is if you were on a WiFi with a networked printer)

Through the network it is def possible.
I don't know an app that supports it yet though.
However, it should be easy enough.

Couldn't you just use Telnet Net Print?

True but i don't think the g1's telnet supports it.
If someone is willing to give it a go this should help:

Of course you will need the printer to be connected to a computer thats in your network.

Thank you for the link. It looks like a start. My dad wants to run part of his business from an Android phone and wants to be able to print receipts and tickets while on the go.

Do you mean print them to a small printer or something that he carries around with him, or something like print them to a network enabled printer that he has installed in his office? The former is going to be difficult/impossible without a laptop or something. The latter will still be hard, but should be do-able at least.

Actually I think he wants to be able to do both. I told him its not likely until some future product comes out aimed for Android. They have wifi and bluetooth printers so I guess its just a matter of time until someone develops the software. Everything else right now is too much of a hack to be useful for him.

Hell yeah, i want to get ride of my laptop and print emails from my G1, any update on this topic?
