micro SD /OTC cable

[dfaulkner679]

Can you use a SD/OTG cable to connect Samsung Galaxy Tab A 6 to a non WI FI printer ? No is the usual answer , how annoying and time wasting is WI fi printing ?, I think manufacturers if they listen to customer feedback will include simple and QUICK back up factory default printing using a microUSB cable.

If it will ever work, the cable needed would be pure OTG USB (nothing microSD). But I doubt Android have left printer' USB drivers.

You can try Google' cloud print installed on a computer where this printer is connected to.

Question from dfaulkner679 : "Samsung Tablet Printing"

How do i print DIRECTLY ( Not WIFI ) from a Samsung Tablet to a non wi fi printer, using a cable.
No I DON'T want to pay Google for their print service app.
And no I don't want a complicated or time wasting 3 way connection with a PC.
The question is I repeat again.

***Samsung says it can't be done , they officially direct me to the T580 Manua,l the one which doesn't even mention the 'developer options' like for example the ( USB debugging) , they say don't tinker about with that , I say if it crashes I'll just reset it to factory default , if it conks out completely then it's straight in the bin.
A good piece of gear no doubt ,just forget about WI fi printing, the one thing I especially brought it for in the first place ,and got conned big time by a Sales rep.Not very impressed but with the published customer reviews these days watch out for any business that relies solely on old style forked tongued golden hand shaked sales based customer service.

Go to Walmart, buy $100 Windows tablet. Use it to download and print.

If that's too much for you, probably that $11 app is better choice. And please don't make the people trying to help you to feel guilty that what you want could not be done.
