Tutorial:Print Directly from your smartphone (Android ,Apple and Blackberry )

In this post i will show you how to print directly from your mobile to a printer(non-WiFi and non bluetooth printer ) which is attached to your computer or laptop...
Here the thing is ,the printer is classic that is it is not WiFi or Bluetooth printer its a classic printer that is it is attached to a computer or laptop which must be connected to a internet connection.



I will be explaining two ways



Note: This only works with Android and iPhone and Blackberry (though paid app)

1. Printer share App

 

Through an app called Printer Share download links for the respective platforms are given below

                                                            

If you will be using this app then all the instruction of setting up are explained in the app.

But for the app to work a app must be installed on the printer attached PC.

                                               
                                                       
                                                  click this button to download.

Drawback of this method is when i tried to download this method was slow and this app is trial version means you have limited prints to print.

But if you got some bucks you can surely spend on this one.

For Blackberry (Paid App)

2. Google Cloud Print


Though this works with apple but it is a paid app so i would not be taking it up !(sorry apple users)
