MitchBu Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 5, 2016 #1 I am trying to come up with an app that prints over WiFi to an HP ePrint printer. I have tried to apply the method posted by Erel here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/hp-eprint-interface-intent.28221/ But all I get is a MsgBox with ---- Unfortunately, HP ePrint has stopped Report OK ---- I routinely print to the same printer from the same title iOS app I already created in another tool, and what happens is, the printer "wakes up" and I never saw the same kind of dialog. Something seems to be missing in the code to bring the printer up : Code: Copy Dim i As Intent i.Initialize("org.androidprinting.intent.action.PRINT", "file://" & File.Combine(Dir, FileName)) 'make sure that the file is in the external storage i.SetType("text/plain") StartActivity(i) I would appreciate some help in that matter. If I cannot print, this is a definite show stopper

MitchBu Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 12, 2016 #21 The HP ePrint app is really messy. It crashes without reason. Yet, when it works, I can print full paper size with no margin. Will try other seemingly comparable apps now. It should be an interesting challenge to patiently guide users along the same path Upvote 0
