Hi
could some help, I have been searching high and low for the answer to this question. Can I print from my android tablet to an epson adhoc printer.

Now I realise I can print to my printer from various programs like printer share etc if I have it is in infrastucture mode, and this works, in my house, computer off , router on , print straight to it.

Now I would like to print straigt to the printer in adhoc mode, which I have set up on the printer and this works from my laptop, to the printer with the router off.

Now the reason why I want it to work this way , is becuase I work as a sparky and need to print out certificates. So I would like to fill in my certs on site at a customers address where there is no router . I want to get my android tablet out and wireless printer and print straight to it, so i can produce the cert there and then.

Can this be done

I am even prepared to connect it to the usb from my tablet, but I cant seem to do this. Can anyone help


Thanks

zacazoom:)
