77.2 The Print Service Plugins
The purpose of the Print Service plugins is to enable applications to print to compatible printers that are visible to the Android device via a local area wireless network or Bluetooth.
The presence of the Print Service Plugin on an Android device can be verified by loading the Google Play app and performing a search for “Print Service Plugin”. Once the plugin is listed in the Play Store, and in the event that the plugin is not already installed, it can be installed by selecting the Install button. Figure 77-1, for example, shows the HP Print Service plugin within Google Play.
The Print Services plugins will automatically detect compatible printers on the network to which the Android device is currently connected and list them as options when printing from an application.
