PrinterShare Mobile Print: Now you no longer have to wait in a queue for access to your office printer to get your work done. This new app lets you wirelessly print Office documents, bills and invoices (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, text files and more) directly from your tablet or phone internal memory, SD card or cloud source such as Google Drive (Google Docs). You can now instantly print emails from Gmail, print photos and images (JPG, PNG, GIF), contacts, agenda, sms/mms, call log, web pages (HTML) and other digital content directly from your tablet or phone to a printer right next to you or anywhere in the world.
It also allows you to configure your print options including paper size, page orientation, number of copies, page range, one- or two-sided printing (duplex mode), print quality (resolution), printout mode (color or monochrome), output tray and more.
With the free version of the app you can:

* Print 20 pages in Remote mode over the Internet;
For unlimited printing you need to purchase PrinterShare Premium Key, a separate small application that simply needs to be on the device to unlock Premium Features of the free app. Prior to buying the key print the test page to ensure compatibility with your printer.
Premium Features:
