Works great! Allows me to print to my HP Laser jet P1505 that is attached to a Raspberry Pi running CUPS. Once the app was installed I added my printer manually. You do not add the printer in this app you have to do it in the android print services section of settings in the OS. The only thing you can do in this app as far as I can tell is remove printers. On my Samsung A71 with Android 11, I go to Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Printing > Click on Android CUPS Print to enable > then click on it again to go in to the settings for Android CUPS Print > click the 3 dots and choose to add printer. I added my printer address and name manually. Next, make sure the default android print service is on as well. I needed it to be enabled to print. Go to Settings > Connections > More connection settings > Printing > and make sure the default print service is enabled. Once you have added the printer and have both services enabled you should be able to choose your printer when choosing to print something. Thank you!

I know getting this to work on android took alot of time, and I really wanted to thank you. To others, it connects to other cups servers, so I was able to print through my local cups' server. I do wish I could add printer and provide a ppd or something.
★★☆☆☆
Regrettably, I have a Pixel 3XL with Android 11 and the Printing option within Settings is nowhere to be found, after installing this app. Consequently, cannot attempt to add any printers. Can only conclude, at this stage, there is a compatibility issue with Android 11.
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work. Scan finds nothing even when putting in IP address. Manually configuring with exact info from Linux desktop CUPS server adds the printer yet always reports printer not available. All required ports open as per instructions from CUPS. I can print perfectly fine from my desktop and laptop, but nothing from my Android using this app. This review is for both the F-Droid version and the Google Play version.
