Printing

Is there an app to allow printing over wifi with the HD/HD MAXX?

Yes. In the Play Store, look up "Printer Share". I have it and it works really well. It supports duplex printing, multiple size paper, Photos, word docs, web pages, emails, etc., just lots of options. Biggest problem is it's pricey. I got it over a year ago when it was $9.95. But now they raised the price and I think it's about $14.

But like I said it works really well. I used it on my Droid X and now on my Razr Maxx HD.

Google - Cloud Print

I don't own a printer, but awhile back when I was living with some friends I recall setting up Google's Cloud Print and was able to print things from my phone (as well as desktop and netbook). I don't remember it being difficult to set up, but that was some time back in 2011. I'd look into this before dropping money on a paid app.

My co-worker had a Bionic and there was a Motorola app on it for printing. It worked good. We don't evn have wifi printers but it got onto the network and he could print to any of our printers. Wonder why they wouldn't include that moto app?

Google Cloud Print works well with one glaring problem - you need to have your home PC (or whatever PC is near your printer) turned on to use this program. I want a direct Android-to-printer (via WiFi, of course) app that does not need the PC to be on. If I need the PC to be on I can just print from the PC.

The only thing out there right now that I can find that does what I want is PrintShare but it's very pricey - $12.95. I don't print enough from my phone to make that worth while.
