Open a file in the app you want to print from. Pick settings, then look for a Print option. You may have to tap "More" if it isn't one of the first choices. The first time you use it it will prompt you to pick a printer. If you don't own a Samsung WiFi capable printer you're out of luck though. I've got a nice Canon printer on my network, but no printing to it with this tablet.
I use PrinterShare Premium, which isn't free ($12.95), but if you use Google Cloud printing then that will work with the free version of PrinterShare.
What if I have a
Printer with an ip address? Anyway to make that work?

Moving to Q&A
PrinterShare Premium is the way to go so far. It's about $13, but it works just fine for wifi printers.
I got printershare pro when it was free at amazon and it doesn't print to my canon pixma 620 (not the newest printer, but wifi). It prints, but not correctly.
Apologies for the late entry (I may need to start a new thread), but I have a kind of weird issue.
Just got a Samsung MV 1865 wireless printer. Works great on my Windows WiFi group. I can also print just fine from my older Galaxy 7" (no extra app installed on that one, just select Print and then let it find that Samsung printer on the same network). But, my 10.1 can't see that same printer. Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: Disregard. I installed the Samsung printing app and somehow that forced the native print settings to see the Samsung printer on my network. At least I guess that's what happened.
I just installed "Samsung Mobile Print " from Android Market. I just printed to a wired Dell printer on my network. Should work fine with a wireless printer I would think.

Depending on which Dell Printer you have, it may very well have been manufactured by Samsung. For a period of time at least Sammy manufactured Dell Laser printers, so if you've got it to work with a Dell, there's a good chance it's really a sammy.
Printer Share app, the paid version, will not print documents created with mobile office apps-- see my conversation below--
Hello,
This happens when you use mobile office apps for creating your documents.
It should not happen with the documents created or saved with desktop
MS Office software.
There is a known workaround to this problem (besides modifying/saving
the mobile-created document with desktop MS Office). You can send this
document to Google Docs which converts documents upon upload.
Here is a detailed explanation of the workaround (under the heading
'When opening certain word documents I get various Docs Render
errors'): http://printershare.com/help-mobile-faq.sdf
Our apologies for the caused inconvenience.
We are planning to fix this issue in future updates.
Have a nice day

I just purchased the G Tablet and I have two (2) wireless printers in my house available to print to. Unfortunately, I am having a difficult time trying to figure out how to print webpages and photos to my wireless printers. I don't believe I can download the drivers that came with these printers because they will not work with the G Tablet Operating System. Please advise how do I evoke printing capabilities on my G Tablet? Thank you for the feedback. Gary
Get chrome browser on pc and cloud printer app from the market

I tried CloudPrint. The Cloud Print app on the G tablet says "there are no accounts set up on this phone".
Uh, a few problems with Cloud Print from the g tablet
1. The G-tablet is not a phone, but an android wi-fi tablet.
2. Cloud Print app doesn't provide any link to or menu to set up an account on the 'phone'.
3. I've got a Gmail account set up and I can log in to it on the tablet. But that doesn't help...
4. It's sort of a useless app at this point, at least for the generic G-tablet.
Hopefully some day soon, Android OS (and app developers) will get their head's out of their proverbial butts and recognize that to be taken seriously as an app and OS, Android OS and apps need to look beyond being a 'cell phone' OS or app but an OS and app that can seamlessly work on cells, tablets, and pc's running Android...
I use Printershare. It's a paid app ($4.99 or something) and works great.
I can print to my wired printer via a service running on my home pc from anywhere and I can just print directly to my wireless printer while I'm on the home network. My wireless printer wasn't specifically listed so I tried a similar lower model and it printed without issue. If using the printershare service running on the PC...it doesn't matter the printer driver for the tablet as it's printing via the PC.

Go find the printbot app. It works great for me. YMMV
I'm looking for a solution to print from my Prime while at work. I have two different printers in my office (no network) and would like to be able to print from at least one of them. Is there a way to print directly from the Prime that I'm not aware of? The only solution I can think of is using PrinterShare and getting a bluetooth adapter like the BT-0260-v2 from premiertek.
Can someone else shine some light on the situation?
Thanks.
There is a way to cloud print using google Chrome. You need to be signed in on the computer connected to the printer thought.

There is an app called PrintBot that I use. Free version supports one printer. Works great for me.

And all main printer companies have developed Android app to print on their machine.. all in market.
The printers aren't hooked up to a network. I'm looking for a way to print directly from the Prime. Any other solutions or am I stuck for now? One is a fax machine that can scan and print as well (a Lexmark X5650) the other is a Dell laser printer that is hooked up to the office computer but I can disconnect that if needed.

If they're hooked up to computers with Google cloud print signed in I think that would work but if they're totally disconnected from a network or an online computer, perhaps bluetooth (if the printers had those features) may work. Never tried printing via bluetooth though but my really old Lexmark all-in-one could do it from my old Nokia n82.
Physically connecting the Prime to the printer won't work since the Prime isn't a true computer with drivers and other stuff to accommodate the printer.
If your printers have a print from SD card or flash drive feature then I suppose you can transfer the file straight from the Prime to one of those media first.
the best solution is cloud printing. You install chrome on your computer and make a gmail account. Once your signed in go to the Tool top right, and go to Options then Under the Hood then scroll down until you see Google Cloud Printing and click on Manage Print Settings. You should of been redirected to Google's Cloud Printing Manage area. You'll add a classic printer and thats it. As far as ive noticed this system will send the request to your gmail account, and your browser will send it to the printer when ever it can.
Works great! Only works on iphones if they buy a app. But for us its free its called Cloud Print. It's amazing, you can print anything and it works.

The only solution in that case, is to install a chroot Linux distro on the Prime and once running chrooted Linux you can install printers, at the condition that usb dock port accepts connection to a printer.
Search BT5 linux thread to have guidelines and howto for installing linux.
Is there a way to print directly from Prime+Dock, directly to a printer WITHOUT A COMPUTER.
Situation: Epson 960, webtv, and the Prime
When visiting my 95 year old mother, I sometimes want to print items. The only technology is her webtv. The printer will connect to webtv or the prime dock by USB cable.
I haven't found a "stand alone" printing app for the prime...All available seem to want a Wifi Printer, or wifi connection to the home network.
The only solution that I can think of would be to put whatever I wanted to print as an attachment to an email, then open it in WebTv, then print that way...
Anyone have any better suggestions?????
PLEASE!!!!!
Thanks,
Bob
There is an app for that. It's name is printershare.

From what I read, that printer needs either Wifi or Bluetooth capabilities.
Direct USB cable connection does not seem to be an option?
Printing from Prime
I've been using CloudPrint... requires a pc somewhere to have been setup with Cloudprint, but it works with my Galaxy Note and TF201... for work and home printers.

This app looks promising, however the free demo only prints a greyscale test page, which doesn't look great on my printer. The real app is quite expensive and I'd like to know how good it really is before I pay. Let me explain what I mean.
I found a Brother app which works with my printer. However, print quality is rubbish. It looks like it rasterizes web pages into medium-resolution graphics and sends this to the printer. The effect is quite horrible: fonts are fuzzy and text difficult to read. The test page from Printershare looked exactly the same.
So, how does Printershare deal with web pages and PDF documents? Does it do the same rasterizing trick, or does it send proper fonts to the printer and let it render prints properly.
Another problem for me is that Printershare does not have my Brother HL5250 driver, so I have to use a nearest hit...

I tried searching for this with no luck, but does anyone know where or how I can add drivers to the Flyer (rooted, with HC)? I have an HP wireless printer (4700 series) but am unable to print from the Notes app because the printer is not supported. Any assistance is appreciated.

I use PrinterShare for printing from all my mobile devices. Gives ability to print to remote printers or direct print to hardwired or wireless printers from about any app. Works well for me and the best thing I know of unless your printer has an Android app available.
Might check out Printbot as well. Not sure if it will work with your printer though.
Doesn't answer your original question, but if you are just trying to print info from Notes, why not just open Evernote on your home computer and print from there?

I have PrinterShare installed as well but didn't know I could print from the native Notes app with. Will have to give that a shot.

That was the issue: I wasn't near a computer at the time but was connected to a wireless printer.
Wish there was a way to support more printers in these apps.
Finally upgraded to N2 from Incredible. So far the phone is great. My question is anyone know how to print to a network printer from this phone? I don't have Samsung printer. Thanks
Many printer mfg's have apps out for printing from your phone, you just have to see if yours is supported.
If you have a printer that is connected to a network that you have a computer connected to, you can go into Google Chrome on your computer and set your printer up as a Google Chrome printer. once that's done you can access the Google Chrome printers from the internet and print things at home while you are out and about. Including from your phone.

I picked up PrinterShare Mobile Print in the Amazon App Store back when they offered good free apps and that's what I use when I need to print from my phone or tablet. Allows printing to supported wifi printers, Google Cloud Print, and I think a few other options.
Thanks all for the tips. I'll try them out once I get home later.

+1 on PrinterShare. Got it back in the good ole days when Amazon had some useful free apps. Premium is $12.95 but goes on sale a few timse a year.
Another vote for PrinterShare. It's hands down the best all-around printing solution for Android devices. Most other apps are hit and miss, or require specific printers and/or phones. PrinterShare has worked with every Android device I've tried it on, and it's worked with every networked printer I've used with it (including a 12-year-old printer my parents are still using).
