Android Question Options available to take printout from B4J application when run from Android Tablet

We have a B4J application hosted in web which runs fine when run from both windows and tablet. Now we need to take printouts from that application. When run in Windows machines, that is not an issue, just select the appropriate printer and click print.

We are not aware of how to print from a android tablet. There is no equivalent of (installed / installable) printer drivers in android, we think.

As we are new, could you guide us in solving this printing issue, by suggestions various options available and to choose one?

Happiness Always
