Android has a few different methods for printing, one of the easiest and most recognizable is probably Google’s Cloud Print. But setting up and using a random printer from your Android-powered phone or tablet isn’t quite as easy as it is from a more traditional laptop or desktop computer. According to the folks at XDA, though, that might change with the recent addition of Wi-Fi Direct printing to AOSP.
Wi-Fi Direct, for the unfamiliar, is a peer-to-peer system that allows two Wi-Fi enabled devices (like a phone and printer) to connect directly to one another without the use of a router.
Android may have native Wi-Fi Direct printing in the future was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
