Printing API in Android

I've downloaded a utility called PrintShare which allows one to print things like web pages, contact lists, calendars, etc to a printer connected through wireless or a computer participating on the PrintShare network.

I would like to have my Android app create a text file, then send that text file to a printer that is shared with PrintShare.

Is there an API for printing on Android?

Thanks Mike

Can I print directly from my Android phone?

You can also print directly from your open documents, like with Android, if your smartphone and printer are connected to the same wi-fi network.

What is printer API?

If you are a business that is sourcing materials for your production process, you need API printing. Essentially it works as a drop shipping process, where you order or sell your designs through your own website or app, while Foam Core Print will process and fulfill your prints, and ship them to your customers.

Can I AirPrint from my Android phone?

The share icon (top right of your phone's screen) will take you to the Printer Options. If this is your first time using the Printer Options, there will be an option at the top of the screen to Select Printer. Tap it and select your AirPrint-enabled printer from the list.

Currently there are some bad working third party apps. Nothing is a professional solution.
