this will be painless.
read this stuff Google - Cloud Print

basically you can sign in to chrome on your home pc where your printer is installed and add that printer to cloud print and you can print anywhere to that printer.

some eprint hp printers let you do it without being attached to a pc. it works great.

1. What kind of printers can I print to using Google Cloud Print?
   
   Google Cloud Print can print to Cloud Ready printers, which connect directly to the web and don’t require a PC to setup. Google Cloud Print can also connect to existing (classic) printers that are plugged into a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer with Internet access, using the Google Cloud Print connector in Google Chrome.

I have an HP printer that's about 7-8 years old, USB only.
I set everything up in Google cloud print, and use an app called "Cloud Print" from the Play Store.
Works great. I think I paid about $1.50 for the app. Contrary to what the instructions say for the app, I don't need to have Chrome running, or keep my printer turned on. When I'm ready to print, I tap the print button in the app, and my printer turns on and works fine.

You can use PrinterShare or Google Cloud Print. Both apps work well. PrinterShare is a paid app while Google Cloud Print is free. Neither app requires your printer to be on if it has Wi-Fi capabilities.
