Used to be able to print to my networked (IP) printer from my HTC Evo LTE 4g. Guess that feature was built into Sense. What's really disappointing is not being able to print from my OG...unless I'm missing something here or just haven't found the feature. I'm sure there's an app but built in was nice. If I need an app...any suggestions?

What model printer? HPs have a wireless printing app that will allow you to do this.
All my printers are newer LaserJet HP's. Might need to try the app. I just liked the convenience of being able to print to any tcp/ip printer on my lan with little setup. Suprised it's not a built in feature in Android yet. That was about the only thing HTC got right with that phone.

I do it with my HP printer and HP app for public
Are you using Wifi Direct or just an app that alow you to print from a HP printer on the same wifi network?
Hey everyone, just wondering is there is a way to tether via USB using wifi as the source of internet?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Yes there is. It's built into the system settings (At least for ICS).

It's called internet pass through I think.

clarification
Do you mean for the PC to tether though the andriod? if that is the case you may need to use something like EasyTether.
Yea, I want to hook a PC up that doesn't have wireless capabilities so I can use wifi on it. I'm running AOKP, I haven't tried to hook it up yet to see if it comes with this rom.

OK just an update, hooked my phone up to my PC and hit USB tether at the settings UI is force closing
EDIT: Using Easy Tether, I have internet but its intermittent and a little slow, but its a start.

There is an app on the Play Store called "Open Garden." It enables Wi-fi tethering on 3G or Wi-Fi for Free.
Before I had Ice Cream Sandwich and was rooted, I always used PDANet, it works great on both Mac and PC! If it isn't in the Play Store anymore, i'm sure you could find the .apk somewhere online. Best of luck!
The HP wireless printer app for nexus 7 seems to be buggy. It will print photos occassionaly but not documents. It shows the file says rendering but then just goes back to the screen with menu icons.
Similarly if I share a document with the app it does the same thing instead of printing it like it should.
Its always worked great with my gs2 skyrocket with stock gingerbread. Any solutions? Any better wireless printer apps that will work with a new HP printer?

After taking a trip to the darkside for a year or so (IFail), I decided to rejoin the force by purchasing the Optimus G, mainly for wifi-tethering and more control over my actual phone. I can connect my phone just fine to my Mac (the Optimus appears under devices in airport), but cannot get my Kindle, nor my X-Box to connect to the wifi. Is this an ad-hoc vs. infrastructure connection issue?
Can anybody help with this issue?

Not sure I can help with your ways, but Wireless Tether, from the Playstore, works good for me. You have to have root. Settings are; ics/jb generic, wlan0.

Most wireless tether apps use ad-hoc, which only works for PCs and PSPs it seems like. The built in version you pay for works on some phones like my old evo, but we hack to unlock that first to not pay. I will check it out when I get the chance and see if I can do the same thing.

Hey! Wondering if you guys could help me out, I have an old HTC incredible s that I want to leave plugged into my stereo and stream music from my gs3 to it, preferably over blue tooth since I never use wifi. Is there any way to set this up?

I can't remember the name of the app, but there is a program that allows 2 mobile devices (tablets and/or smartphones) to connect this way. The app for the host device is a paid app but each addon device utilizes a free controller app. In this instance, your HTC would use the paid host app to be used with a stereo, TV, computer, etc and your s3 (and any other phones/tablets) would use the free remote control app. I'll see if I can find it again
