I've searched and haven't been able to find an answer to this. I have the Note 8 (wifi) and a GS4 (Sprint). Both come pre-installed with the 'HP Print Service Plugin'. In the GS4, if you click on the 'Print' option, in the browser for example, it will find Samsung and HP printers. However, if you do the same thing with the Note, you get the popup warning about how it will only print to Samsung printers. Why does it come pre-installed with the HP plugin if the Note won't even use it? Will this be fixed in an update? I also have an Acer A500 which uses Acer Print which can print to a whole mess of printers. I don't like the vendor lock-in here. I know you can use apps to do this, but then you have to use 'share' and not 'print'. Is it possible on a rooted device to remove the restriction to Samsung only printers so it will work like it does on the GS4? Or to install Acer Print on the Note? Much appreciated.
I have been successful using the Google Cloud Print app. I have used this with Xerox, HP, Brother printers...It works great.
anything that usually comes with the device is *crap* IMHO.
I personally use PrinterShare
Althought its not free... and there is that saying "you get what you paid for"
I can get PrinterShare and Google Cloud Print to work fine, but my point is that they install the HP plugin as a system app on the Note 8 and GS4, but don't let you use it on the Note 8? PrinterShare and Cloud Print work by using the share function which doesn't play nicely with https pages. I just want to know if there is a way to make the Note 8 'Print' function work like it does in the GS4... or the A500 using Acer Print for that matter.

I have a jet direct HP laser printer at home my tablet prints to. I installed the HP software off the play store. Works great for me.

I have a jet-direct enabled HP printer too. But both the HP app and kitkat printer service get stuck searching for the printer.
Did you have to do anything special to get it working?
I do not have any trouble printing from my windows laptop. Finds the printer on the network with no hiccups.
But both my nexus 7 and moto x cannot....
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I haven't tried it with my phone, but my tablet worked without any issues. It was pretty simple. It scanned my network and just started working after that. If you need me to test anything shoot me a PM. Not sue what could be your issue unless its running on a different port.
Was this ever resolved? I'm having the exact same issue and I'm trying to figure out what to do. I called the manufacturer and they were no help! I have a Note 8 and an S4. Neither will print using the HP pluggin.
I have a photo smart printer that has print direct and jet direct print capabilities.
Home routers may pass through HP printer ports without configuring, but you may need to open some udp ports to get the print services up and running.
I also note old routers had no provisioning for wake up commands on wifi. My printer requires manual wake up before I can print. I installed both hp print apps, one being web print and the other document print. Both work just I will need to upgrade my router so I can print without manually waking up my printer.

Just noticed my T-Mo TP2 came with JetCet installed. I assume it's to allow printing via various methods.
Has anyone ever used the program? I do have a WiFi enabled printer... but doing Google searches - seems JetCet is Bluetooth only ??????
i used it earlier, worked fine, but would only print certain things. I wanted to print from Internet explorer.
Im using it on WIFI
Jetcet
I actually tried using it today, I sucessfully printed to a networked printer at work. The drivers are not there for a huge number of printers but the generic does work although not as well as I had hoped. Had trouble printing multiple pages, so for small jobs it is fine but for larger documents you are btter off moving them to a full size computer and printing them from there.
Isn't Jetcet for PowerPoint presentations? I have it but thats all I can do. On my Touch HD I had Jetcet 5 which was a print program and it worked on my wireless HP printer.
I think I have a different version of the TMO TP2 mine didn't come with my faves and seems to be missing a couple of programs.
I tested it with my Samsung newtwork printer and it worked using Epson drivers, as there are no Samsung ones. Just did a test page so don't know how well it works in all situations.
Was pretty impressed it worked at all.
I have JetCet Presentation on my Tmo TP2. It says that printing requires another program available on their website. Is it installed already or do I have to buy it?

Looks like it's $9.95 on Westtek's website. It was installed on the Touch HD but looks like the TMO Touch Pro 2 doesn't.
Not concerned about not having MyFavs, one less thing I need to disable.
Different versions of the phone come with different software. Some come with Jetcet printing software, some with the Jetcet powerpoint editing/presenting software. There might even be versions with both or none. They should not be confused and you shouldn't assume that the preinstalled software on your phone is the same as all the other phones worldwide. Personally I haven't been able to test the printing software. Haven't even opened the program.
I noticed that the Print Option appears in a few areas (browser is one) on this phone but i don't see anywhere in the settings/options to set it up ? I click it and nothing happens...
I cant seem to find any information regarding this, anyone have a clue ?
Thanks,
Pete
It's for a number of Samsung wifi printers

Thank you very much, makes sense now
The way it works is when you have a Samsung printer hooked up with your wifi, when you hit print it should automatically search for it. Be sure your phone is hooked into the same access point.

You also can use an app such as PrinterShare to print up to 20 pages free to a printer and computer running thier windows app. With the premium version you can print to your home printer from anywhere or via wifi and bluetooth unlimited.
I want to control my samsung galaxy nexus via my pc but I dont need display I just need to use the keyboard and mouse.
Let me tell you why....
I currently have a spare monitor and I have connected my Samsung galaxy Nexus to it via an MHL adaptor but I would like to use my pc mouse and keyboard to do stuff on it and then just change back to pc when I want.
Anyone know any tools to do this?
Thanks
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is the best option.
Try free AirDroid which lets you use many features of your phone including texting and managing apps via your browser on a PC as long as you're on the same network.

I had been using Droid VNC Server in the past, however it doesn't seem to support ICS. knoxbrder seems to be very close to having a working version for the Galaxy Nexus, you can take a look at this thread for some details.
Once this is running, you can run vncviewer on a Linux system, or download RealVNC for Windows and access your phone when it's on your WiFi network.

LMAO Are you going to hook your microwave up to a monitor as well? How about your toilet? Maybe you can get to the point where everything you own from phone, to coffee maker, to wrist watch has its own monitor. Clearly you need to get out more brah
I've found the remotely controllable phone-to-TV connection very useful. My old TV didn't have Pandora support so I used to hook up my X to it so I could listen via my sound system speakers. I now have a Google TV with a Pandora client, but with a dumb monitor you can also throw in Netflix and Amazon video to turn it into a smart TV. Or just turn the phone into a mini-desktop, it's already just a pocket computer.
i have been pretty disapointed with android options in this department.
i had veency running like a charm on my iphone, but nothing for android. and most of the vnc/rdp programes in market are not what they claim to be.
Hi
Anyone got any ideas as to why the Cloud Print (and HP Print services) do not seem to be installed under the Print option...? I thought that these were part of what KitKat offered, unless removed by LG...?
Having got a Canon cloud capable printer I would expected to have been able to add it easily, like I can with my Nexus tablet.
Thanks
EDIT: Solution....
Found the Cloud Print Service plugin....
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.cloudprint
The HP one (not needed by me)...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hp.android.printservice
HP Print Service Plugin didn't work on my G Pad and also conflicted Google's Cloud Print, after removing HP plugin Cloud Print started working. Printing section on my G Pad was empty as well after upgrade, expected to see the Cloud Print there as default.
I agree. Considering how much LG have pushed their front end to enhance the Android experience I am not sure if the new user to that OS would have been aware of how to find a print service and install it, over that of it just being there.
Unless I missed it there is no mention of how to do this in the manual either.
Installing the Cloud printer plugin worked fine for me and now my Canon printer works a treat with the tablet.
I have an HP Envy 7640 printer that is NFC enabled, how do I print directly off my phone to the printer? When I turn the NFC on both and wave the phone over the printer I get the following screen:
What am I missing with this? Am I understandng correctly, I just turn on NFC on both devices and it should connect? If it matters, I do not have a wireless network (router) in my house.
Thanks-Dan

You need to use the HP ePrint app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hp.android.print.
Print with using App
If your printer and mobile phone is connected with same wifi connection then mobile printing is very simple. If you are android device user, then go to play store and download "HP Print Service Plugin" from there. Install this app in your phone enable notifications for this app. Toggle on HP Print Service Plugin and your mobile device is now enabled for mobile printing. Select the item you want to print. Click on print option select your printer and customize paper settings , confirm right printer and tap on printer button for final print. If it doesn't work or you facing any error in this process then use HP Envy 7640 Manual- guideusermanual.com/product-name-envy-7640-e-all-in-one-printer-series-manual&po=243373&lang=English for detail view and other mobile printing techniques.
