Top 5 Android Printing Apps

  •  PrintBot – For quick and hassle-free mobile printing of PDF and image files, use this app to instantly connect with any of over 2800 printer models from major manufacturers. No additional software needed.
  • ePrint – This app was designed for Epson printers, but it also works for a handful of HP and Canon printers, among others. It prints images, web pages and other important info on mobile devices such as emails and contact details.
  • PrinterOn – Take advantage of cloud printing with this app that connects to the PrinterOn network of 6000 print locations around the world. Use your Android device’s GPS to locate the nearest one and get those documents, pictures and web pages printed.
  • PrinterShare – Although it takes a little effort to install the appropriate drivers on your computer, it is all worth it when you can print documents, tables, presentations, PDFs, text messages and contacts with most printer models and Google Docs.
  • iCanPrint – Print pictures, documents and PDFs to your wireless printer through WiFi or cloud services. If you don’t have a wireless printer, just install the accompanying program on your desktop computer and send your printing jobs there so the wired printer can receive them.

It works particularly well with pictures, letting you crop photos and print them directly from the app. With support for all Epson and HP wireless printers and most of the major brands, you also have plenty of flexibility.
  • Print Utility – Besides being able to print everything from documents to maps, this app also lets you oversee all the files that you need to print with this app’s intuitive file manager. Copy files with iTunes File Sharing and view, send or delete them on the app itself.
