I am looking for a way to control a wifi document scanner through an android application (that scans PDF files). The scanner model has not yet been chosen. It may also be an all-in-one printer.
I know that HP has an app that allows control of their all in one printers but I am looking for a way to integrate these functionalities to a custom app.
More specifically, these are the points for which I need light (that correspond to the approaches I have thought about):
Is there a standard protocol for communication with a wifi scanner (like IPP for printers)?
Is there a way to interact with an other app from which I don't have much documentation (send an intent or whatever)?
Is there a known alternative to a wi-fi scanner (like the Google Cloud Print)?
Thanks in advance for any hint that could help me in my search.
There is a library that can help. The http://roncemer.com/software-development/java-ocr/. Hope it helps.
I want to print label from my Android and iPhone application.
Printer is Brother QL 720NW
I had tried iprintsdk.com but I am not sure how I can use it.
And it seems it is not free.
Please help me.
first of all, you need to check whether your printer is airprint compatible, if so, you wont need an app:

if its not, try downloading a free printing app to start with from the App store like printdirect for iOS or a paid for app Print for both android and ios

I am trying to get a clear idea about Proximity mention in AllJoyn app and there are several explination (theories) that i find intresting but , I still want to know can Alljoyn support proximity? If yes then how do I go about it? Can I see an example using proximity or reference a sample App as im not able to find proper references to the same. The Chat app I've seen works perfectly using WiFi but how can i accomplish the same using a bluetooth? Kindly help me..Thank You in advance..
Bluetooth support is only available in the android sdk. In order use bluetooth, you either have to wait until AllJoyn is adopted by OEMs, or rooting your phone and doing some fiddling. More info can be found https://www.alljoyn.org/docs-and-downloads/documentation/alljoyn-android-environment-setup-guide#unique_21
If/when bluetooth is integrated/supported, your use of AllJoyn should be the same, as AllJoyn works to hide the communication details from you.
I 'm thinking about developing a restaurant application using Flex Burrito.
Is there anyone who can tell me if it possible to print from an Android enabled device to a WIFI printer / kitchen printer? (is it possible to do this also on an IPAD, Blackberry?)
Thanks in advance
Google Cloud Print?
http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/cloudprint/docs/overview.html
AirPrint for the iPad. However this is currently available only for HP printers. http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airprint.html. From a Blackberry you need to do it using a custom created app. There are also some 3rd party apps created for the BB. Check http://thinkabdul.com/2007/10/02/free-beamberry-blackberry-suite-to-view-print-documents-via-bluetooth-usb-store-pdf-ms-office-zip-files-on-rim-41/
Hope this helps. If so, +1 :)
I've downloaded a utility called PrintShare which allows one to print things like web pages, contact lists, calendars, etc to a printer connected through wireless or a computer participating on the PrintShare network.
I would like to have my Android app create a text file, then send that text file to a printer that is shared with PrintShare.
Is there an API for printing on Android?
Thanks

All which need a printing API in Android should vote for it.

Currently there are some bad working third party apps. Nothing is a professional solution.
From Android 4.4 provided API Printing

Is there an API for printing on Android?
Not natively. There might be some from third parties, but nothing built into the OS.
Android 4.4 and higher has a printing API that you can use.
Bixolon is a company that sells printers of all types. In fact, it sells printers that can connect with Android applications by an API (SDK).
Here some real example:

And here more information about it (Bixolon SPP-R200)
Android: Connecting and Printing to Bixolon SPP-R200
If anyone knows another company or printers, please share!
Thanks
Checkout out www.lob.com, they have a nice printing and mailing API that is easy to integrate with Android!
Android now includes a complete framework that allows users to print any document using a printer connected over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other services. The system handles the transaction between an app that wants to print a document and the services that deliver print jobs to a printer. The android.print framework provides all the APIs necessary to specify a print document and deliver it to the system for printing. Which APIs you actually need for a given print job depends on your content.
