We downloaded the Canon App and that told use which of their printer models can be plugged directly via a USB cable into their printer. There were heaps.

Unfortunately our old model couldn't.


As pointed out earlier, it can be done Tablet to USB printer. ( which is what was originally asked, not Via wireless)

Theres a couple of things that need to line up. The Tablet has to be capable of supporting the printer, & you need the correct cables. While printing Via wireless to a shared /Network is the easiest, it still can be done directly.

1393378 2015-02-06 03:15:00 If the printer cant plug in directly due to not being compatible with a android/USB connection, you may have to have the try it Via a shared printer option while the printer is connected to a Computer. wainuitech (129)
1393379 2015-02-06 07:35:00 The tablet\phone also needs to have a chipset capable of being a USB host, I imagine. Agent_24 (57)
1393380 2015-02-06 08:06:00 Which it has presumably because it can communicate with a USB drive. Actually, I just checked --- the Tablet' s specs say "USB Host" too.
