If you have received an email with a document in the attachment and have opened it on your smartphone, you can print the file directly from your Android device. The only thing you need is a network-enabled printer that you can reach from your mobile device.
Print with Android devices – so go ahead
In order to be able to print from your Android , you usually do not need an extra app. Most apps that allow you to open different documents usually offer a feature that allows you to print documents over the network. In general, each printer manufacturer also offers its own app that you can use to print files.
- Open the document in any app and click the menu. This is usually identified by three small dots.
- Tap on the “Share …” option and then select “Print”.
- If the “Print” menu item is not displayed, you can also select the corresponding printer app. The document is then opened in this and can be printed.
- In the printer app you also have the option of specifying additional settings such as color or size. The options available to you mostly depend on the version of your printer.
