I was on a message board & they told me to use this app Cloud Print & I could print from Nexus 7 to a wireless printer but I can't print out of hotmail or gmail & I can't print anything either
 
Did you configure your printer to work with Google Cloud print? Did you install the K-9 email client?

Once those 2 things are installed/configured then you can add your email accounts to the K-9 email app, open the email you want to print, then Menu->More->Share and one of the Share options will be Cloud Print. Select that and you will be prompted to click on "Print" and the email will be sent to the Google Cloud print server then downloaded to your PC then printed to your printer. Whew!
 
I don't know how to get the Cloud Print to work with my printer & no I didn't install that app nobody told me what to other just getting the app & how does that K-9 app work with Hotmail & Gmail email accounts & printing any other page
 
This is from the description of Cloud Print in Google Play:

Cloud print allows you to print files from your phone to your printer.
In order to do this it uses the new Google Cloud Print service you should configure your pc following this guide: http://www.google.com/landing/cloudprint/

Once you get your printer setup to work with Google Cloud print, then you can use it to print files you have on your N7 using the Cloud Print app. For email program like Hotmail and Gmail that don't have the ability to export emails as a file, you need to install an email client that can access your email accounts and allow you to use Cloud Print.

What printer do you have? If it's a very new printer, there may be an app from the printer mfr that you can install that will do much the same as Cloud Print. I have a new Brother printer and was able to download an app for it to enable printing but it still uses the Google Cloud print service.
 
I just realized that there are 2 apps named Cloud Print in the Play store. There is one by Paulo Fernandes and another from Google. Which are you referring to? All of my help has been regarding the one by Paulo. However, the Google version works exactly the same way, you still need to configure the Google Print service to work with your computer/printer and you still need to use a "smarter" email client to be able to print your emails.
 
Go to Play store and search Cloud Print. One states Paulo Fernandes, one says Google. That's how you tell them apart.
 
Regardless of which you have, they both work essentially the same with only slight differences. For either to work, you absolutely need to set up the Google Cloud Print Service to work with your computer/printer.
 
OK well when I tried to find an app to used I was only told what app to get not how to get it to work or how to use it or anything like that at all
