There are apps on Play for printing, but it depends on your brand of printer. I have a Canon and use the app to print. If you cannot find an app then you might be able to print using Chrome and printing to a printer use Google Cloud Print ( I am pretty sure that Epson also has an app).
Hi fun2day. As neil154 said, there are apps and such that can assist you in your printing projects. The cloud works as well. You might check in with the other owners of your tablet and see what they are using. Here is a link to the tablet areas. Just open the list and then give your particular tablet name a click. You will be redirected to your tablet's discussion area. Have fun and good luck.

Why does Android have problems simply seeing my HP D110A wireless printer and using it? Windows 8.1 and my iPad2 work fine with no setup required whatsoever. I was about to buy the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 32GB tablet today until I was informed printing was such a hassle. Sure enough, a friend hooked her 10.1 to my WiFi and it doesn't see my printer. I absolutely refuse to spend $599 and monkey around with apps to make it work, or discover it won't and be stuck with a useless tablet. I really love the tablet, but find this issue disturbing. It's putting me off getting my first Android device which is a shame. Am I missing something about Android that would explain why it doesn't see my printer? Or is this simply an issue with Android in general?
UPDATE: After reading and checking with HP and some Android users, I've discovered the issue is inherent to Android itself. While the HP ePrint app MIGHT work, it does not work for all Android apps that have print capability - it can be hit and miss. Bizarre to say the least. I use my devices for writing and need print capability. I will not be buying Samsung's great looking tablet. I was hoping to avoid going with a Windows 8.1 tablet. Oh well!
