    What do you guys use? Is there any free application that can do this? I have downloaded an application called Printhand. It prints out a test page but says I have to upgrade to actually print. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

    It's the best one. Well worth it.

    Beyond that, most all printers have their own Android app, and have print to email feature as well.

    Doesn't support my printer unfortunately. Unless they've added it recently...

    It was updated a week or two back on BBW to bring it back in line with the Android version.

    Apple and Google forces the printer manufacturers to install the drivers on their printers. BlackBerry does not have that kind of pull, so we need to use an app to put the drivers on our device.

    Thanks for checking. Yep, they have always skipped over my model. I guess I'll skip over their app...

    I don't think they have my printer on their set of drivers either but there is an option to install a Printhand server (or something like that) on your PC so that you can always print regardless of your printer. I can use my printer wirelessly, even though my printer doesn't even have wifi.

    Printhand is the best. Can be a bit tricky to get set up, I suppose, for some users (myself included) but we'll worth it and works wonderfully ever since initial set up. I don't even remember paying for it but it was well worth it - whatever the cost.

    If it requires that my PC be on, I might as well just transfer and print from my PC. I know about that option, but rather it just work. My printer connects to my network so any computer on the network should be able to print from it. Including my phone if they only add the drivers for it. And I've contacted them about it but I guess not enough people ask for my printer model for them to care.

    I suppose. And my computer is pretty much always on so that's not an issue for me. For me it works great.
