Smartphones have made mobile printing a necessity, with various built-in features and compatible apps available for Android devices. To print from an Android phone, users need a compatible home printer (Wi-Fi enabled, Bluetooth, or USB), the content to print, and an internet connection for cloud printing. Google Cloud Print was discontinued in December 2020, but some users may still access it. For built-in Android printing, users can navigate to the content, tap the three-dot menu, select "Print," choose the printer, adjust settings, and tap the print icon. If the printer is not visible, a specific print service plugin may need to be installed. Popular apps like Gmail and Google Docs have native print options. Users can print from Gmail by accessing the email, tapping the three-dot menu, selecting "Print," choosing the printer, adjusting settings, and tapping "Print." The same steps apply to Google Docs and other Google apps. Users can also print images or PDFs directly from their phone's storage by opening the file, tapping the menu or share icon, selecting "Print," choosing the printer, adjusting settings, and tapping "Print." For printers that do not support Android printing natively, third-party apps like PrinterShare and Mopria Print Service can be used. Users can download these apps, connect their printer, choose a file, adjust settings, and print. Tips for printing from WhatsApp include ensuring printer compatibility, using Wi-Fi for faster printing, keeping the Android OS and apps updated, checking printer settings, utilizing cloud storage for easier access, and saving documents as PDFs to preserve formatting.
