    I want to print the picture & information. Can I do that using my android phone?
    Community Answer
    If your printer is wireless, you can connect it to your phone via Bluetooth or the printer apps which your printer supports. If your printer is only wired, take the wire from your phone charger and attach the USB end to the printer and other end to your phone. select documents for printing and send it via the share option.
