How to Print from your Galaxy S6

I have not been at all surprised to see that many Galaxy S6 owners use their device as a pocket laptop to process documents, edit photos and not only. As long as you have the chance to print directly from your S6 to any Wi-Fi printer on your network, I see no reason for not doing that.

Of course, you need a network connected printer, the same network for both your printer and the handset, as well as the Android printer plugin offered by the printer manufacturer (it is normally released in Google Play store for free).

So, what are you waiting for? Here I am to guide you all the way:
