How to Print Files from Mobile Phone or Tablets


Use Google Cloud Print With Mobile Phone or Tablet 

Google Cloud Print works with most printers, but for best experience a Cloud ready printer is recommended. These types of printers can directly connect to the Internet and don't need a computer for it to work. Google Cloud Print currently supports printing only through iPhones and Android mobile phones or tablets. Here's a Chrome extension that will let you print documents even from your desktop without requiring a Phone.

Open Google Chrome on your computer, click the Menu button > Settings > Advanced Settings > Scroll down to the Google Cloud Print and click "Add Printers". A confirmation message appears on the next screen and click "Add Printer" to confirm.
