Android Printer?

[WatermelonSlim]

Is there a printer that works with Android phones and doesn't need a computer?

Any bluetooh printer will work, but you will also need a separate app, like Printer Share.

Cool, what about WiFi printers? Do those work too or only Bluetooth printers?

wifi printers work also. i have a wifi printer, and i would always print directly from my phone to printer via wifi. so it really doesn't matter.

Any suggestions for a good wifi printer to use with an Android phone for someone that doesn't have a computer?

PrinterShare does have the ability to print directly to printers (I believe using bluetooth or WiFi). I have a WiFi enabled Epson printer and the app shows it as a nearby printer without connecting through another computer.

I also use an app called Epson iPrint. It had the ability to send different to the printer as well. It doesn't have as many IP options as PrinterShare, but does a very good job of printing borderless images.

Is there a printer that will print from my tablet through a USB connection. I have an HP H470. HP has drivers for windows, mac and linux. Any suggestions?

Are some better than others? For example, if I get an Epson, will I be able to adjust the printer settings through the Android phone, while an HP won't allow it? (only an example, I have no idea if an Epson or HP allows this, it's why I'm asking)

I'm trying to get someone set up to use an Android phone as their only computer, and this printer thing is about the only part I don't know anything about.

If I had the printer's app, for example Epson iPrint that was mentioned earlier, would I still need the PrinterShare app? I noticed PrinterShare costs like $13 in the market. So if the free Epson iPrint app would make it all work, then I would just skip the $13 printershare app.

Taking this a step further... Is there an "all in one" unit that will print, scan, and fax with an Android phone but no computer via WiFi?
