<![CDATA[Simple printing]]>I just noticed a new application for printing from UT in the Open Store called Simple Printing. I am pleased to say it discovered my wireless printer and printed a colour PDF with no fuss at all. Well done and thank you toThomas BΓΌning.

@nero355 Why would you expect that? It's a phone not a computer.

Why wouldn't I expect that ?!

It's a phone that is powered by the same type of Kernel that holds the driver for my printer on my Laptop! πŸ˜‰

(Avoiding the versions of both here, but you get the idea!)

I believe it's because the image size becoming too big for some device. Also, its functionality may havenot really reached a usable state.

I would expect Ubuntu Touch to have built-in printing support since my Kubuntu 20.04 LTS install does it flawlessly : Both Printing and Scanning! πŸ˜„

Maybe a settings menu with "new search" in a future version would help?

My N5 has always shown the printer in its Wi-Fi connections, (plus my router and my neighbour's router,) so perhaps the printing application is only detecting existing connections rather than actively searching for new printers. Does that make sense or am I talking through the back of my head?

Unfortunately the problem is the same.
I have to stop the print job from the printer because dozens of pages are printed with these anarchic letters and symbols.

However it doesn't work on my side (Vollaphone OTA-21 + HP OfficeJet 8022e).
Printer is well recognized but prints unreadable symbols on dozens of pages. (I tried 2 different PDF, one .xls file, one picture, rebooted both devices twice, but no change)

But this look promising! πŸ˜‰ Thanks for this app!
