Printer app?

Can someone help?

I am unable to print E-mails from my Samsung Tab 2 7.0 to my networked printer a a Brother HL-2270DW.

Any tips? I am using the shipped E-mail program. I've installed "PrintBot". All I'm able to print is a test page.

Thanks - Mike
 
I've been using Printer Share. It's not free, but it works really well. You have to access your print requests from the app itself rather than the print button on whatever you are trying to print. When you open PS, it asks what you want to print. GMail, Calendar, SMS, Phone Log, Web page, etc.You can even use a cloud printer.

I think you can try before you buy.
 
Brother has an official app called "Brother iPrint&Share" (must've been an iOS app before coming to Android). It's not the best app considering you really can't change printer settings, but it does work smoothly.

However, not all Brother printers are supported, and the list is apparently inaccurate. Best advice is to install the free app and try it out.
