LearnPad Tablets for Schools: Network Printing

Printing

Printing from LearnPad

Like all Android tablets, LearnPad does not have built-in support for printing. Instead users must rely on dedicated printing applications, usually made by the printer manufacturers themselves. Another option is to use a printing service like Google Cloud Print, which supports most printers, but requires users to log in before printing.

Printing Applications

All major printer manufactures make printing applications that can print to their latest models. Document format support varies between apps, but printing can usually be initiated either from the application itself or from the document editing application via a “Sent To” menu option.

Here are a list of the currently supported manufacturers with a link to their application in the store:

Select one of these resources for your organisation and place them in a convenient category. For instance, the toolbox if you want students to launch the application directly, or the teacher menu if you only want the application to be available as a “Send To” option from applications like Kingsoft Office.
