Printer for android

[moktan]

Dear Members,
I was on the lookout for a black and white , laser printer to print documents straight from my phones (Nexus 6, Moto G).
Can anyone kindly suggest a reasonably priced android compatible document printer?
Thanks in advance ,
Prabin Moktan

If you have a printer that can be accessed by a wifi device, then there is a good chance that you can print to it from your android phone. There are apps. I think I might even have paid for one, but I don't recall using it since the day I got it so can't help much more than to say search the play store. Or, I guess, I started with google.

Oh... the app I have is called Printer Share, but I do not have it configured on my current phone

Oh... Did that in one minute! It found the shared printer set up on my PC and printed a test page to it. My PC runs Linux, and the printer would have been made available via Samba, which makes it look like a Windows device. If you just run windows, you probably just need to tick something to share.

I'm printing to a Brother laser printer, although I don't think that matters.

Printer Share

But there are lots of other apps in the store, and probably lots of other ways to do it

Thanks, that is very helpful.

I'm glad... after posting, I had a horrible feeling I might have answered the wrong question!

sandeeprawat, thank you for making me aware of the Brother app. Mine is a wired-net, not wifi printer, but it might still work.
