People with busy time likes to do something efficiently. Also there are time when they are in hurry to print some documents from their smartphone directly to printer without using a computer. Apple iPhone is one of the smartphone that able to print directly to printer. For Android user also can do the same thing with their smartphone. There is an application named "PrinterShare" developed by Mobile Dynamix to help android user to print document directly from their smartphone with 2 mode, Nearby and Remote.

To do Nearby print mode you have to install this PrinterShare application into Android smartphone. Make sure that the printer is already has WiFi feature on. The PrinterShare application will detect the printer and there you go!  it is ready to print.

  5. The Android devices with PrinterShare on it will directly detect the printer share.
If you have a wifi connection, you can use the Remote mode. How it works is pretty much the same with the Nearby mode, it's just that in this mode you will use the internet as an intermediary between Android and the computer. The trick is as follows:
  1. Make sure the computer and the android device already installed PrinterShare.
  2. On the PrinterShare client desktop application on computer , look for the printer being used on list Local Printers and click Share.
  3. On Android device, click Menu-> Printers-> create Remote User ID. User ID can be found on the upper left corner of the desktop client PrinterShare.
  4. Furthermore all devices are ready to print. When selecting the files to print, desktop client issued a notification, click the New job-> Print. Notification steps necessary to prevent other users from accessing the printer.
  5. the next step indicates that a Remote device could send files on the desktop other clients around the world. Example, if you does not have a printer at home, you can ask your friends anywhere to help you to print through their computer.
