Ratings and reviews

Basically, it's usless! Every time! Every time I use it, says the printer is not available or blocked. Then, after spending 20 to 30 minutes troubleshooting this and that, maybe it will print but, probably not! Literally, it's easier to email and print files from my computer. UPDATE, I've reinstalled the app. Somehow they made it worse.(Imagine that!) Alone with printer errors, it's also blocking other computers from printing. Google should remove.

Made it possible for me to print from my Samsung Tab A and Galaxy S9 Android devices to our 7 year old Canon MG5420 printer. I haven't been able to do that since Google Cloud Print stopped working on it years ago. However, there are some issues. It is slow to recognize the printer on the network, even after it was just used. Also, it does not allow duplex printing (greyed out) even though the printer has that capability. Fix those issues and I will add a 4th star to my review.

I've been using this app for 2 years and within the past 6 months it has become useless. Every time I try to print, it automatically sends me a notification: printer error, failed to print. Thenit will start printing anyway but only 1/4 of the photo. I try to send it to the printer through various diff apps like galary, Lightroom, drive, etc and some will have no response while others continue to partially print the photo. I'm so over this app!! I love my canon printer but it's hard to use!
