there is printershare app to print to your (wifi)printer to your local network, could be accessible with a little tweak.
if want to create folder on HC, try use the go launcher HD.
hope this helps.
Yes, you can make folders in Honeycomb. Lots of them.
Use this app. (Folder Organizer)

Or use Circle Launcher for an even better way to launch your favorites .

Most of the htc apps allow you to print via wifi, and for those that don't, an app called printshare will allow you to print almost anything. I print stuff from my flyer regularly.

Yes, but HOW - that's what I'm asking. Entering the IP number of my computer in the flyer has no effect.
(And when i say to the computer, i mean "to the computer" (like say a pdf file) i don't have a printer)

OK, that is a different sort of problem. Printshare allows one to print to a network WiFi printer. I've not heard of an app that will allow one to print to a computer PDF printer. I'm not even sure you can print to a physical printer that is shared with Windows 7.

Why not just email the file to yourself? Or are you trying to save something as a PDF file from a Word file or something like that from Polaris Office?

Try enabling your printer, via windows with the sharing printer and which connected to the pc (depends on the us running OS)

For support check on printer compatibility

Hope this helps.
It would be interesting to set up CutePDF on your PC, and then set up Printshare to connect to your printer, and see if it will recognize that as the printer and let you print to pdf.
Longshot, but worth a try for sure.
I've got it working with Cloud Print.
It works with Google Cloud Print, you have to get that working first. Basically it sets up a Cloud Print item in the "Share" menu of any Android app. When you share with Cloud Print, the output goes to your printer.
If Google was smart(er) they would making printing a very smooth and visible part of Android. Because getting Google Cloud Print to work was a PITA, it wouldn't detect my printers and the add printer dialogs just kept going in a circle taking me back to a help page or empty list of printers. YMMV.
All I have to say is.....Dropbox.

I was messing around today taking pics and doodling on them with the pen then decided to see if it would print. I didn't expect much but turned on my printer (HP Photosmart C4780) anyway then clicked print. The Flyer scanned for printers and found mine without a hitch. The model I have was not compatible with the Flyer so I just picked one from the drop down that was and that was it, my pic printed right out. I printed out a Google search too just to make it wasn't a fluke. What's even better is the Flyer saves the printer so there's no need to configure each time you print. You can also print black + white or color, landscape or portrait, and print only the pages you want opposed to every page.
The more I use the Flyer, the more impressed I am with it's quality.
Damn, no one cares about printing?
Yup it is a neat feature. I test it here at work. Is your printer an IP based printer? I don't think it can see shared USB printers, but could be wrong.
I just tried it based on what you discovered. Damn, that's a nice feature.
I agree, it's nice to have printing built into the device. The Flyer picked up my Canon printer in seconds. My old iPad never would recognize my printer.
I have the lexmark s600 series. It's is not supported and when I choose a random printer from the dropdown it just says checking status and never prints . You got lucky !
If you use Google chrome and download google cloud print you can print from it as well. this will only work after you set it up and you have to have your PC on for it to work
On google chrome side all you have to do is
1) open browser and hit the wrench icon
2) go to options
3) go to Under the hood and look near the bottom for Google Cloud Print and hit set up
4) sign in to the login box
5) hit manage print settings
6) go to printer tab and find your printers
On phone/flyer
1) go to market and search for google cloud print
2) once it is installed open it
3) follow the on screen instructions until it says refresh printers
4) then choose what you want to print and print it

Are there any Lexmark printers in the drop down menu? If there is not then that brand may not be compatible.
Question: SGSII AT&T only wants to allow Print Page from browser menu to Samsung printers ... lame. Any way around that? Thanks!

More details? Logcats?
yeah, this is a bit concerning.. can you provide more details...
is this wifi printing? bluetooth printing? who told you that you can only print to samsung printers? error msg? tech support?
thanks!
See attached photo.
Scenario: browse to any URL (my iGoogle mobile homepage in this case). Hit the menu button. Select More. Select Print. This is the menu which pops up.
What gives?
Bump... anyone has any idea how to circumvent this obstacle?
No clue - again, need more details... Bluetooth? Wifi? Does CM7 allow printing from the browser?
In the case of wifi this wouldn't surprise me due to printer driver hell... Printer drivers are highly nonstandardized, and a full CUPS package would be half the damn ROM!
Bluetooth printers may or may not be more standardized.
I'm with a stock ROM, and this dialogue box jumps up before attempting to print through WiFi.
The problem is, I have the HP app for printing any document I have on my phone (PDF, JPG, DOC) installed and it works just fine - but the browser dialogue doesn't allow you access to third party apps like the Share Page function allows you to share through many different apps. Print should be the same = print through <choose app/service>. Instead - we get print to Samsung printers only...
im trying to find some info on how to print fr my phone, i downloaded and hp printer app fr the market but i cant get it to connect to my printer, i have an hp printer (photosmart) wireless and ive tried to find anything i can to b able to print from my 3d phone, anybody had any idea or info on how i can accomplish this thanx

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.
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.
