| 1393377 | 2015-02-06 01:23:00 | Thanks. 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. www.printershare.com android.stackexchange.com |

| 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. The tablet\phone also needs to have a chipset capable of being a USB host, I imagine. |
