HELP! My new phone doesn't recognize Lexmark printer

[Shellilly]

I just got a new Galaxy s5 on Thursday and since then have been trying to pair my phone with a Lexmark printer. I have used the on-line manual, bought a new book called "My Samsung Galaxy s5", and even called tech support. Tech support said I have to call Lexmark. I was able to print a test using an app called PrintBot, but PrintBot charges per print. This did prove to me that it CAN print. Any suggestions?

I found this: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...s/details?id=com.lexmark.print&token=5T_ngPOF
Is that compatible?

Edit: I almost forgot...welcome to the forums!

Thanks for the welcome. I tried that app. Nothing. It only got a 2 star review, and I know why.

Well, don't ask me how, but I can now print. I can't describe it exactly, but it's not like with the iPhone, where it comes up directly. You have to share what you want to print, then a clipboard appears with all kinds of icons asking g who u want to share it with. I click on Lexmark printer app and voila, it prints.
