▷How to print from your Android smartphone 🥇

Do you want to print a document from your Android smartphone? In this quick tutorial we'll show you how to easily print from your device without having to turn on your computer.

Until recently, printing directly from your Android smartphone was not that easy. In most cases, you had to try to find an application for your printer. Now all this is now history, thanks to Google Cloud Print. Once a printer is properly configured through this service, you can print from any device, no matter where you are, as long as you're signed in to the same Google Account or a friend has shared their printer with you. .

Prerequisites:

PC or Mac on which Google Chrome is installed
Google account or a Gmail address
Imprimante
Android smartphone or tablet (but it is also compatible with iPhone and iPad)

How to configure your printer

Follow these steps:

Connect your printer to your computer and install the drivers following the manufacturer's instructions so that it works correctly
Open the chrome: // devices page in Google Chrome from your computer
Click on Add printers
Select your printer and click Add one or more printers
On your smartphone install Google Cloud Print if it is not already the case from the Google Play Store
Open the app Google Cloud Print (some overlays allow you to find the same settings by going to Settings> Advanced Settings> Printing)
REACH Google Cloud Print

If you are signed in to the same Google Account as on your computer, or are logged into the same local network, you should now see the printer configured on your PC.
