Lets Print Droid

Lets Print Droid is an advanced Android application that facilitates cloud-free printing directly from your Android phone or tablet. Designed for users with business-grade laser printers or print servers, the app ensures that no print data leaves your local network, providing a secure printing environment, unless you opt to use Google Cloud Print.

Compatible with devices running Android 2.3 or higher, this versatile tool seamlessly integrates with wifi-connected laser printers. It leverages the Android Print Framework Service, allowing users to print from applications like Gmail, Chrome, Gallery, and more. The app supports various protocols like Line Printer Daemon, IPP/CUPS, and Server Message Block/CIFS, which means you can efficiently connect to CUPS on Linux, Unix, or Macintosh setups.

One of the key advantages of this platform is its ability to support multiple file formats such as PDFs, JPEGs, PNGs, GIF images, text documents, and even static web pages. It comes equipped with generic PCL, POSTSCRIPT, PDF, and AirPrint Universal Raster drivers to ensure broad printer compatibility.

For quick and hassle-free printing, users can simply load the platform, scan a QR code, and print with minimal configuration. The functionality extends beyond printing; offering straightforward file transfer capabilities using FTP(S), HTTP(S), or SMB/CIFS.

In environments that require secure corporate printing, the application can be paired with server software like Enterprise Output Manager by Unisys or Microsoft Server for enhanced functionality. Moreover, Lets Print Droid provides a comprehensive workaround for all printer types, including USB-connected ones, within the help files.

The addition of "Let's Print PDF," a companion app, ensures even more flexibility by enabling users to render PDFs on their device or make use of off-device rendering with a CUPS server. It further supports Bonjour (AirPrint) / Avahi Printer Discovery using multicast DNS and is compatible with most AirPrint-capable printers.
