Print Bridge
Two Android apps for a USB printer: share it with everything on your Wi-Fi, or print straight from the phone it's plugged into.
Print Bridge: USB Print Server
Share a USB printer over Wi-Fi with every phone and computer
Plug the printer into an Android phone, tablet or TV that stays next to it. Every phone, tablet and computer on the same Wi-Fi can then print to it with the printing already built into it: nothing to install on them.
Installed it from this website before? Get it from Google Play too: it updates the app you have and keeps your settings, and it stays free for you.
Print Bridge: USB Printer
Print from the phone the printer is plugged into
Plug the printer into your Android phone or tablet with a USB OTG adapter, choose a PDF or a photo, or share one from another app, and print. No computer, no Wi-Fi, no print server.
For phones and tablets that can take a USB device (USB OTG). It shows ads, and a one-time purchase removes them.
Both apps carry the same printer drivers. Will my printer work?
