Printing from Android

[paulsiu]

I try printing from my Android phone recently and notice that I cannot do so. My impression is that this is because Cloud Print has been discontinued. How would I print now. I poked around and noticed that I can print using printer apps. This would cover one of my printer, but I also have a old Brother HL-2240d printer that I served using a Raspberry Pi. it uses CUPS and I can't figure out how to print to it any more.

Does anyone know if Google has a plan on how to fix this. It's rather dumb to kill off Cloudprint without a good replacement.

Which phone do you have, and what Android version is it running? See this: https://support.google.com/android/answer/10177839?hl=en

Does your phone have Default Print Service in the Settings>Connected Devices>Connection Preferences>Printing menu? I think I had to manually add my printer that way using its local IP address.
