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 implementing a scanner app.I have question how to print image in connection between android and printer directly such as AirPrint of IPhone.
I heard that there is only way to print text and image using Google Cloud print in android. I am searching for any solution.but I cannot find any solution and example.
Should I use any 3rd party tool to access WIFI printer in android?
Would you let me know any solution? so Anybody help must be appreciated.
If you are targetting at the API level 4.4,Please refer the below link it will help you.Printing with the Android Printing framework
I have a running app on fox pro which is developed using DOS. And its working very fine on the computer system. But due to the requirement of the users, now they want it to run on the android device.
So
1. Can you please tell me whether any plugin or bridge is already there in the market or should I have to develop one. I am basically looking for the bridge which can make communication between Android and fox pro. I don't know whether this is possible or not.
2. Any solution to open console in the android device where I can execute DOS commands in Android device like I do in the computer system.
Specifically I don't want for redevelopment, but if there is no way to achieve then let's see.
Apparently, you can run DOSbox under Android:

I've never tried this, but maybe it will provide what you're looking for.
Between a combination of psgsdk and Appery.io and software that helps convert screens from SCX files into Appery, this is a lot easier now. I've done this several times and have apps in both Google play and IOS app store that are FoxPro apps. The back end and all code is Visual FoxPro and the front end is Appery. #abigdreamer on twitter gets ahold of me -- let me know if I can help -- Know this post is years old but others might need the same.
We are developing a new App for internal use that will rely on a RW420 Zebra printer for POS printing. I have been looking for documentation on the issue and I still have three questions I have not been able to resolve:
a) Pricing: Is there any amount to pay for using the SDK on a commercial app?. We are developing it on behalf of our final client. I have been able to download the SDK from their page at no cost but still have concerns over it.
b) ICS support: It seems the SDK has not been evolved since 2.1/2.2 Android releases. Will this be an issue?. Currently it is possible to use the Zebra App under ICS, but don't want to go deeper on programming just to see all the efforts have been futile.
c) Do I really need the SDK or is it possible to use an intent (found nothing about it)?
If you have another similar printer suggestion to substitute the Zebra, I will be delighted to know about it.
No. [1] AFAIK no, but contact them if you want to be super sure.
No, ICS should be completely backwards-compatible with well programmed Android 2.1/2.2 applications and libraries.
In order for an Intent to work, the user would already have to have some ZebraLink Android application installed on their device in order for that to process the intent. There is an app "Zebra Utilities" but it does not have an Intent you can use to print. [2] AFAIK there is no such application, so no.
Sources: [1] & [2] see the comments by OTisler (Zebra employee).
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
Mike
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.
