Printers are common in households, but WiFi-enabled printers are not. So, while printing from a PC/Mac is an easy task, printing from a mobile phone is not. However, it is certainly possible. Android phone users can print photos or documents directly from their phones. A printer connected to a desktop/laptop and an internet connection is all that is needed. Here is how you too can print from Android to your PC printer without any wires.

Print from Android Phone to a Classic Printer Using Google Cloud Print

Google Cloud Print is the solution for all your printing needs. With Cloud Print properly setup, you can print directly from your Android phone or tablet to a printer connected to a desktop or laptop. The print command is sent over the cloud to the printer connected to a PC and your Google account.

  1. Install the Google Chrome browser if it is not already installed.
    Unfortunately, Cloud Print only works with Google Chrome installed. However, you are free to use any other browser for browsing. Chrome will only be used to submit print jobs.
  2. Make sure that you're signed into Chrome (or Google) with the same Google Account which you use with your Android phone. If not, you will have to share the printer with that account before printing from your phone.
  3. Open Chrome and go to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Google Cloud Print > Manage.
    Alternatively, paste chrome://devices in your address bar to reach there directly.
  4. Under 'Classic Printers,' click Add printers.
  5. Choose the connected printers which you plan to use with your Android phone. Then click on Add Printers.
  6. Confirm that your printer is successfully added by going to Google Cloud Print website.
