NetPrinter — Print from Android to a Local Network Printer
Do you own an older printer and want to send documents straight from your Android phone or tablet? NetPrinter, created by Tramontána, is a free app that prints directly to a printer on your home or office network without using cloud services or subscriptions. It works over Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, or Wi‑Fi Direct as long as the printer speaks a supported language.
Compatible print languages
NetPrinter understands many common printer page-description and raster formats, such as:
- PWG (IPP Everywhere)
- AirPrint / URF (Apple)
- PostScript
- PCLmS (Mopria)
- PCLm
- and other widely used languages
How to connect your printer
The app offers both automatic discovery and manual setup. Available connection methods include:
- IPP / CUPS
- Samba (SMB)
- Wi‑Fi Direct / Mopria
- Bonjour / Avahi / ZeroConf
Once a device is added, it appears as a selectable printer inside any Android app that supports printing.
Where you can print from
After configuration, NetPrinter shows up as a print target in apps such as email clients, calendar apps, office suites, PDF viewers, and many games — essentially any app that uses Android’s print framework.
Extra features in the paid edition
A paid upgrade unlocks additional conveniences and removes ads. Notable enhancements include:
- Automatic scaling to match the printer’s page size
- Collage layout options for printing several images together
- Custom display and processing choices for color and grayscale output
- An ad-free experience
Test releases and support
If your printer behaves unexpectedly, consider joining the beta channel to try development builds and report issues. Beta releases sometimes include improved compatibility or experimental features that address specific printer models.
Alternative installation option
If you prefer sideloading, some users opt to install via an XAPK installer instead of the Play Store. Check the developer’s instructions and verify sources before installing packages from outside official stores.
Give NetPrinter a try to print locally from your Android device without relying on cloud print services.
