Decent print app Once I figured out where to set the printer service on in Android it worked. It would be nice to have more printer options like paper choices, paper tray choice, and duplex but that is asking alot. I can go to a computer for that. Nice job on this app. Better than Canon Print Services app, that app is goofy it will not print from the main paper tray. I checked, the Canon app is compatible for my Pixma MG5320. Glad your app worked.

Some phones / Linux server Working with my linux print server - cups (configured for local net allow, printer defined as shared), avahi, airprint-generate, iptables rules. No need for Print bot if mDNS is working - just turn on Local print service, do discovery and choose the Air print service with your queue name. That said, it works perfectly on a KitKat stock Moto G, but I get no printers found on my GS4 CM11 KitKat (Print bot works with a hostname, but I do not want cloud interaction). mDNS seems broken somehow on some phones.

Total rubbish I want my money back. This app does not work with any printer. The sister app 'Print bot' is also a scam I paid for that to an can't print anything. Btw I use a galaxy s4.

Hangs while searching It just says "searching for printers" forever without ever actually doing anything. This is particularly dumb since I know the IPs of my printers, so it shouldn't be searching in the first place.

No manual setup option Manual setup is a BASIC required feature. Not every network allows the highly unsecure UPnP, or SSDP protocols. This app couldn't find any of almost 300 printers on a campus network. Each printer has the IP address listed on the control panel, but that's useless without a manual setup.

LocalPrint allows you to print from your Android device without using any kind of cloud service! All data stays within your local network all the time.
For technical reasons, this app can't work on all printers (see below). If your printer is not supported, a bad review doesn't make much sense.
On Android versions > 4.4 (Kitkat), you have to start the print service manually after installing. Just start the app, tap on the "Service settings" icon, and set "zenofx.com LocalPrint" to "On".
On Android versions > 4.4 (Kitkat), LocalPrint integrates smoothly into the print menu. On older versions of Android, please use the "Share" feature offered by many apps and choose "LocalPrint". LocalPrint also brings its own file browser.
• Which printers are supported?
Most modern printers with one of the following characteristics are supported:
• Printers capable of PDF printing. This applies to most office printers (e.g. by HP) and most AirPrint laser printers.
• Printers capable of JPEG or PNG printing. This applies to most home laser printers (e.g. the Samsung CLX series) and more expensive InkJet printers (e.g. by Epson or Canon).
• Printers shared by a Mac
Currently most cheap InkJet printers are not supported, because they use a proprietary, undocumented print format. These printers are greyed out in the printer menu. If you need to use one of these printers, we recommend our cloud printing solution. Please search for "PrintBot" on Google Play.
• After installing the app, it does not appear in the Kitkat print menu (e.g. of the browser)?
On Android 4.4 (Kitkat), you have to start the print service manually after installing. Just start the app, use "Service settings" in the menu, and set "zenofx.com LocalPrint" to "On".
• The app finds my printer, but it is greyed out?
This means your printer is not supported. Your printer does not print one of the formats supported by LocalPrint.
• How can I remove the watermark from the printed page?
Just start the LocalPrint app and chose "Remove watermark" in the menu. Once you've bought "LocalPrint Pro", the watermark is gone. This is a one time payment, no monthly fee or the like.
• Why does the app need the permission for connecting to the internet?
Unfortunately, Android does not distinct between LAN and internet connections. So we need this permission to connect to your printer on your network. LocalPrint never calls any server on the internet.
• Why does Android warn about the documents passing "one or more servers"?
Android doesn't know how LocalPrint works.
