About this app

Have a USB printer with no Wi-Fi? Print Bridge shares it with your whole home or office.

Plug the printer into an Android phone, tablet or TV (on most phones and tablets through a small USB adapter, OTG) and follow the setup. Every phone, tablet and computer on the same Wi-Fi can then print to it, using the printing already built into iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and Mac, with nothing to install on those devices.

WHAT YOU GET
• Recent jobs list, and a web page on your network to check the printer or change settings, with an optional password
• Works on Android TV with the remote, so an always-on TV box can share it

HONEST ABOUT YOUR PRINTER
We can't promise every printer will work. After the first test page on most printers the app asks: did a page come out? If not, it tries another way, and says so when it runs out. For a printer that isn't listed but is related to one that is, it offers to try anyway, and says it is a guess.

Printer not supported yet? "Email me when it works" takes your address: one email when it works, then it is deleted.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Pages print in black and white.
• The Android device must stay on, plugged into the printer and on the same Wi-Fi as the other devices.
• Some older HP LaserJets need an internet connection the first time you use them.
• To print straight from the phone the printer is plugged into, see Print Bridge: USB Printer.
• The app's screens are in English.

PRIVACY
The documents you print never leave your home or office: they go from your devices to your printer over your own Wi-Fi. Privacy policy: https://yahiaragae.com/printbridge/privacy/
