Printing from an Android-based Phone or Tablet
Many apps (web browser, photo, email and productivity) for Android phones and tablets provide
the ability to print through the Google Cloud Print web printing service. To print, the Android
device needs to be online but does not need to be on the same network as the xPrintServer unit.
In order to use Google Cloud Print, you must have and be logged into a Google account.
Combined with the Lantronix xPrintServer Cloud Print Edition device, you can print to your
existing printers (see Lantronix.com for compatible printers.) Below are instructions for a typical
scenario for printing from an Android device. Be sure that the Google Cloud Print app is installed
on the Android device and that the Google account of the device’s user has been added to the
Google Cloud Print utility. See
