Printing on the Xoom

I bought PrintShare Pro. Works WONDERFULLY. I've printed from several different printers and several different locations. The ONLY issue I've ever had is right after the Xoom came out, it would Force Close when trying to open Google Docs. I emailed the developer. He emailed me that he was waiting to see what issues would come up for the Xoom. He fixed it and it and an update came out the next day. Never an issue since.
 
Cincy/Marc - what types of documents are you printing? Google documents only, or are you also using a program like documents to go? word file? excel spreadsheet, etc? (sorry if my questions sound clueless, but since I don't yet have my Xoom, I'm not sure exactly what print options are available.) Thank you again!
 
I'm using docs to go pro and Google Docs to print from. I'm a third grade teacher and a youth pastor. When I open print share pro, it recognizes and connects with all printers in my building. I can print to color or bw printers. It also recognizes all 3 printers at my church as well as my personal one at my house. I wish print share pro and docs to go would get together and make it so when I'm done creating/editing a document I could print from the docs app instead of creating it saving it opening print share app,reopeming the document then printing. That's kind of a pain but it works.

Hmmm....maybe do a search on it? I don't have my Xoom yet (impatiently waiting!) but I think if you look under the regular market, and not just for tablets, you should be able to find it?

I've been playing with it some, very nice. Nice to print from my phone to my home printer, regardless of where I am.
 
I can pull up the app page, when I click on download I get the message stating it cannot be located. I send the dev an email, and am waiting for a response.

Printing Docs is great but what about printing a popup window like what pops up after paying a bill online?

No you can only print documents from print sharepro. If your bill service allowed you to receive emails for payment then you could print the email. Also if you root you could use screenshot to snap a picture of it then print the picture.

Cincy.
To print emails does print share require an additional program? With cloud print I has to install K9 email which I don't care for. It worked great on files though.
 
From my experiences, it can largely depend on the printer you're using. I have a Canon MX860 and haven't found any working solution yet. Even PrinterShare using generic drivers is a no go. I'm heavily considering switching to HP as my research has shown they have more robust support for other platforms.
