If you want to have a hard copy of your SMS or email, you don't need to copy it to a file, open it on your computer and print it from there. You can simply print these files directly from your Android device. Skip to step 1 to know how you can print different types of text from your Android phone or tablet.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Connect Android and Printer

1. 1 Determine your printer connection type. There are several ways in which you can connect your printer to your Android device. You can use a USB, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection depending on the connection type of the printer you have.
   • When connecting the printer to Android using Wi-Fi, make sure both devices are connected to the same wireless Internet access or router.
