This service is installed with stock firmware. How can it be used?
I want to be able to print webpages from Opera or UC Browser or even a text file through ES Explorer. If I click the "Share" option there is nothing to click that would transfer the page to the network officejet that I use. The printer is seen normally as a network printer from my laptop.
The only way I can use this plugin is through Polaris Office. Is it useless after all? Should I use another program like "Printershare"?

The HP Print Service can only be used from certain applications (Polaris Office, the stock internet browser & stock email apps, etc) and is accessed via the menu button, then selecting "Print".
To enable printing from ANY application, you'd need to install another app, which would enable you to print via the "Share" button from most other apps. I use the HP ePrint app, but PrinterShare should work too.

Hi, I hope I'm not hijacking.
I have a bunch of HP printers networked at the office. However when I try to print directly say from S-Note, Select print > Google Print > pick 1 of the detected printers, after some time I get HP Print service plugin - Unavailable
If I go via HP ePrint however it works (by sharing jpg to HP ePrint)but it's quite slow..

The "Browser" is retarded slow at connecting to the internet. It's as if I were on dial up even if I'm on WiFi. What gives? Once it connects to a page after literally 2 minutes, then it is somewhat okay. All my other apps that use internet are fast expect the google search app only because it uses the browser to load pages. If I just use FireFox instead as my browswer, its fast as lighting. I love the google app, but there is no way to default it to use Firefox as my default browser. Or can I? How can I get my factory browser to be normal?

Hadn't noticed this at all... can you provide additional details?
What ROM (or Android version) are you running?
Have you tried clearing cache/data for the browser app?
You can set any browser as default... Usually when you install a new browser the start using it you will be asked if you want it to be the default. If not, try this:
1) hit Menu then go to Settings > Apps > All
2) Click 'Browser', then click 'Clear Defaults'
3) attempt to open a web link from anywhere- even from within the stock browser. You'll be prompted asking which browser you want to use, and whether you want that browser to become your default.
I'm rooted on the stock ROM. I'm still on the original version too. It looked way too hard to update it. I didn't know how to do what you said until you told me. I got it and cleared everything. The stock one runs better now and I was able change my default browser also! Thanks! It was Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage apps > All > Browser
Time and again, everyone wants to know, how to transfer files between their cloud back-up services without having to download them and upload again manually, instead they just have to tap one and then the second to just transfer all the stuff. If you’re on a Computer, doing such thing is a very easy job and much of the times you have to do it from PC, but under some circumstances you may have to transfer data from Cloud services using your Android device and the task isn’t that easy as it seems, however, not difficult either.
Rainbow is an app that allows users of Android to directly transfer files between Cloud Storage services. However, this app is still in its developmental process, so there are chances of bugs which isn’t a big issue and if you don’t find your Cloud Service on it, go to XDA Forums and vote your Cloud Service in the poll. Now, let’s see how we can install and use this app.
Rainbow-Home
How to Install and Use Rainbow:
Download and Install Rainbow from Google Play Store.
Once you have installed it, open it.
Make sure that you have a working Wi-fi connection.
You will see a list of Cloud Services that are available, tap on the one you want.
You’ll be promoted to the Log-in screen, Log-in using your account.
Accept the administrative permissions to successfully connect to the service.
After you have configured all the accounts you wish to manage using this app, tap the Data Transfer tab
You’ll see the list of accounts that you have configured, including the Android device.
Tap on the one from where you want to transfer the data, you won’t be able to see any thumbnails.
Once you tap a file, a pop-up containing two options, Delete and Copy, will emerge.
Tap copy to copy the item to clipboard or delete it if you want.
Now all that is left is to open the other Service and paste the copied data there.
It will take a little time, so please be patient.

I have a Tab Pro 8.4 and am unable to get Google Cloud Print to function properly, I have installed it but whenever I try to print, a dialog offers to save the file to PDF or I can switch to "All Printers" which never finds any printers. I suspect that maybe some other app is installed that has taken over printing but I can't figure out which app that might be or how to uninstall it. Any advice?
I'm trying to print from my Note and having some problems. On my work PC I have Google Cloud Printing set up via Chrome. It works fine when I try to print from my phone (an LG G3) but when I try to print from the Note I get a "Printing document has failed" when trying to print via Google Docs and a similar error when printing with Microsoft Word app on the tablet.
Anyone else have this problem? Any work around?

I have no workaround for ya. I can't even find the print settings in our device settings thanks to Samsung's custom settings format.
Edit: found the printer setup on the tablet under Connections-->Networks-->Other Networks
I would suggest using the WiFi printing app published on the play store by ur printer manufacturer. That's what I had to do.
The Airplay apps for the AFTV are all unreliable. Is there an alternate method I can use to send video from my iphone or macbook laptop to the AFTV? Airplay is the only reason I continue to own an AppleTV. I'd like to get rid of it if I can only find a way to send video.
Thanks,
Joe
Pushbullet. Install Pushbullet on you phone, tablet or PC. It can be installed on PCs by an app or by using Firefox, Chrome etc extentions. Then install the Pushbullet addon inside Kodi. Its a service addon, but it creates an interface within the program addons. After installing the Pushbulllet addon in Kodi, find Pushbullet in the program addons and go to its settings and set it to interrupt and also set it to play instantly, cause if you do not the content you send from your device will not start playing until other media has finished playing. The best part is that you do not have to be on the same connection cause everything is sent by using your Gmail account. Just log into Pushbullet using Gmail and every device you have Pushbullet installed on will be connected. You can send things to one device or multiple devices at the same time. You can even send inbrowser videos from most sites. Lets say you are on your phone or tablet and wanna send a video from a site you are on, just click share and pick to share it with pushbullet and the video on that page will start playing inside Kodi on your Fire TV. Does not work on all sites, but most. If you have the firfox extention installed on your PC you can do the same, when you wanna send a browser video just click the Pushbullet icon and send it to Kodi. You can also set the Pushbullet up so that when you get notifications on your devices that they will show inside Kodi. If you choose to do that you will have to edit the settings inside the Pushbullet addon in Kodi cause you can pick the default amount of time that the notifications show, and I think the default only shows them for a second or two, but you can make them show for a lot longer.
