Has anyone found a free printing app compatible with the Nook Tablet? I tried Google Cloud Print but you need your computer on for it to work...which, to me, defeats the purpose of having the app since the NT is Wi-Fi only. I couldn't get GCP to work anyway.
Only other thing I found was PrinterShare Mobile Print, but you have to buy pages, etc.

That...that just doesn't help at all.
I've got an HP printer and the HP ePrint app worked fine with my rooted Nook Color. I've installed it on the Tablet and it will see my networked HP printer, but it won't print to it. If you have an HP printer, you might take a look at that and see if you can get it to work.
I probably should have noted I have an HP Deskjet 3050 wireless...not ePrint compatible, already tried that. =/

I'm very pleased with Cloud Print, but I use ProWOL app to wake my PC if it is sleeping prior to printing. I have a HP photosmart 7200. Wake On Lan can be tricky to set up, and but once the router is configured properly, it works great.
You need to enable adhoc on your Nook Tablet. There is a mod available here on xda. I used it on mine and was then able to see my hp printer.

I found Epsom iPrint for free at the market. It only works for wireless Epson printers. It won't work for your HP but for others looking at this thread may find it useful.

I'll second Printer Share, it works great for me. I've also discovered that Google Cloud print works great also. I used it today while out of town to send a document to my printer at home.

is there an app like airprint on the ipad so we can print from the 10.1?
Try google cloudprint. Works even with my usb printer connected to my NAS!
Set up printers and manage printque in chrome then you can print doc's from the cloudprint app.
Or u can check if you printer manufacturer has got its own app B-)

Don't want to be rude. But its amazing how lazy people are getting. And are expect that you will get everything served on a silver plate.
Have you even tried to search the Market?
Almost every printer manufacture have their own app, Samsung,hp, Kodak and so on.
I have a Samsung printer and use their app and its work good. Also used the app below some times
If you dontfind your print i recommend this app below.

And see here. I just typed the word printer, and see how many apps that you can try and see for u self what is the best app

I use PrintShare. It works fine for me. The manufacturer of my printer has an app for Android, but it only allows me to print photos and not documents.

I didn't like the free version of Team Viewer, because, correct me if I'm wrong, it timed out the server on my desktop after a few minutes (30 or so).
I'm currently using androidVNC, which works pretty well, and Wyse PocketCloud (which can connect to RDP, but I've only used the VNC capabilities)

and is open source . +1 for androidVNC.
I personally use the paid version of PocketCloud and love it. I've set some clients up with the free version and they haven't had any problems that I'm aware of.
*Edit*
I didn't see NCKevo's post from earlier. I use PocketCloud's RDP and VNC depending on the situation and have not run into any issues.
Also, the free version of PocketCloud is now limited to 1 saved connection.
I know this is bringing back a dead thread but if anyone finds this thread I want them to know what I decided on. I finally found a great solution. Splashtop. It is the best solution for me.

I downloaded Splashtop and the streamer for my PC but can't get them to connect...my nook doesn't find my PC. Anyone have any experience with getting them to connect? PC is running Win& Ultimate behind a Verizon (westell) router.
Never mind 3rd party software that you have to install on your pc/mac/Linux, I like Jump Desktop. Just set up an SMB server on your machine and your good Togo. Should be simple enough since most platforms comes with native SMB support.
Remember, this is just my 2 cents
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
After testing many apps, I settled on TeamViewer.
It's the only one that offers a decent refresh rate, doesn't pixelate, has simple controls for single-click, double-click and drag. Plus it's the only one that I've found that works well on my Nook and my LG G2X.
EDIT:
After reading about Jump Desktop (market:http://goo.gl/1SPPQ) mentioned by racks, I think I'll give that a shot. Looks intuitive.
+1 Splashtop
It streams sound, and I was able to play minecraft on the NC streaming from the PC. Also tried watching a couple of movies one of them 720p and it ran great. All this was done connected to the same network obviously, I haven't tried the option of entering your google credentials to be able to access the pc through a different network, I would think i would be slower, depending on the internet connection. Specially since my ISP only gives me 1mb upload.
If you are still undecided google or youtube "splashtop skyrim"

Well, you can print almost anything with an app called 'printershare'. It is a little costly, but worth it to me. This app actually is integrated with your device, so printing wouldnt be done through documents to go; but rather through a file explorer or the printershare app. There are also some free alternatives and some require printers that support google print? For instance, hp's technology. Can't remember what its called? Anyways, I recommend printershare!

That's an excellent app, but it requires your computer to be running if you wanna print. It uses the google cloud printing service, which is awesome! Though, for a pc-free printer; it needs to support hp's e-print, or something? The printer would have to support google cloud printing.

The only problem is using Teamviewer you would need to set a prefixed password and username on it as it generates random per session so would be best. Also it needs to be on, closing teamviewer on your PC means you cut off the communication. Also it doesn't require a high end internet as teamviewer by default drops the quality and turns off wallpaper's and such per connection to enhance speed to navigate vs graphics.

Think you can set a password to use all the time in options, but it's been awhile since using. So could be wrong, but never remember having a random password. But yes I do remember having to have the PC on, but believe I could still wake it.
Again, I've not used my nook color for some time with this. So give an old man a break if I'm wrong.

Server runs on Linux, Mac or PC. I have a Linux server running so I can't tell you how good the Windows port is.
I have never used it for an outward facing connection though it is designed to work that way. I have it running on my old Dinc, Kindle Fire and the G-Tab. Video streaming works very well.

In my opinon it is all about the bandwidth. Some (HD) Movies need up to several megabit per second...
A solution is to use a VPN connection to the home network and a UPnP-AV server/client.
I use Twonky and BubbleUPnP, but only in my LAN. With a VPN and sufficient bandwith on the connection this would do the job over the internet, too.

With a little planning you could upload the video files that you want to be able to access to Dropbox, Minus or whatever Google offers that is similar. Then all you would have to do is access the files from your tab. If you have enough bandwidth for video, it should work great.
Check it out and let us know if my idea works for your needs.

I have had cerberus installed on my PC for a long time, it allows you to use your PC as an FTP server.
This way you can have access to your chosen files anywhere with the internet. On your mobile most file explorers have a FTP option to move files to or from the PC.
Its handy to have access to all your music, or maybe use it the other way to backup your photos ect when away from home for a extended period.
you could also stream over FTP if your file explorer allows you to map the FTP server as a local drive
