Does the Note2 have drivers to print by cable connection

Apparently printing via a direct USB cable connection requires a Samsung Printer.

But this app is worth a try

Hi elantric,
Thanks for your reply but I obviously did not explain myself.
I want to connect my note to my printer and print. My printer is not wifi and is not connected to a PC.
The other thing, what is a Samsung printer. I have not seen any in the shops here in Luxembourg. I did not even know Samsung made printers until my note said I had to use one to print.
Still looking for answers. Printing can't be this hard, can it.
