Does anyone know if it's possible to print from the Transformer? I'd like to know before making the purchase.
Have you seen this already?

Has anyone been able to print with the ASUS transformer? Like a Polaris doc or a pdf using any app?
I use PrinterShare. An app on market. Works pretty good. THe pro version lets you print MS office docs, nto sure if the lite version allows. I do print PDF's all the time, just not sure if the lite version does that. PrinterShare uses my WIFI and needs no computer to be on, it jsut finds the printer on my network.
On a side note...I noticed my new EVO 3D prints pics automatically (meaning there is a button hen veiwing pics to print with no app being used). I tried to print to my wireless epson and it did it without any problems. I am pretty sure this is the SENSE UI. Point being, it is starting to show up on android now. iN ADDITION, I think the VIBE comes preloaded with PrinterShare, but thats not enough to make me want to hld that thing in my hands.

So I was thinking of buying this capacitive stylus: http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Capacit...aybook/dp/B003ULE6GU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
But I was wondering if there are any decent note taking apps designed for use with a pen. Because if there aren't, it's kind of pointless, I don't think there's really anything else I would use the stylus for, except maybe drawing.
Thanks!
I'm not sure of a good app, but I do own this stylus. Once I get my Transformer tomorrow, I will let you know how well it works.
Not sure to what extent you plan to use notes, but I use "Note Everything Pro" and absolutely love it!

Handwritten notes
If you're talking about handwritten notes, some people from the xoom forum suggested handrite, check it out and tell me if it works with the transformer. There is a free version with ads. Also many users suggest get rid of the auto insert feature through the settings for the app and it becomes much more usable.
Amazon 1-click Order is dangerously easy. Just ordered it. I'll play around with the note taking apps and let you know what I find. Tablet's coming tomorrow, stylus should arrive on Tuesday.
I'm using flext9 it can be used as swipe which works faster than the one installed on the transformer and it also has a writing to text feature that's pretty cool.I take my notes on evernote which also has a share button to email/ share it to a computer. You can also create an account and sync your documents up to access anywhere.
I can't believe this, from the time since the beginning of Android to now, NO ONE has created a combinable Text & Handwriting note program.
Where is the app that lets you draw and type within the same note? This was possible in Windows Mobile, 10 years ago!!!
All the programs available seem to at best be able create drawing notes separately from typing note, WTF?

Hey dummy, read the post above yours.
I can confirm this. FlexT9 works great on the Transformer. It does an AWESOME-fast Swype style. Then it also has a handwriting-recognition mode that allows you to write within any app.
Screw note-taking apps, when you have a keyboard like this you don't need them.
The post above mine previous (#6) mentions two things:
FlexT9: an input method, not a program that supports scribble drawing & text notes
EverNote: an notes program, without any scribble drawing support
Care to enlighten me with your wisdom again?
+1 for flexT9, it is now my keyboard of choice too, much quicker than handwriting or typing in my opinion.
There is another note taking app called Tabnotes, currently under development. It looks very promising and could potentially be the killer notepad app. Works really well with handwriting with a stylus.
A trial is available on the market for you to try out, the program has been developed with tablets in mind.
At present you cannot use keypad entry, I have emailed the developer of the app for this function, we'll see what happens.
i am using writepad with Evernote and it works flawlessly. I was nervous because the writepad application cost $10. But if you go to the developers site you can test it free for24 hours.

Do you know if this will sync with multiple devices?
Edit - I found out it currently does not sync with multiple devices.
So how does printing work? Anyone able to rec an app?

I've not tried this yet personally, I've got too many other things to try at the moment, but it looks like it might work nicely. It uses googles cloud printing service. Report back if it's any use please.
Well I setup the cloud printing app and it works a treat. But then I have a HP wifi printer with eprint capability so it was very easy to get working.
Print share working fine as well to my network printer
does the printer got to be with wireless capable to print out from transformer?

you can print with a networked printer by setting up google cloud print, but i think that computer has to always be on.
I use Printer Share. It rocks! Well worth the money, and you can print to a bluetooth or widow enabled printer. Easy to configure and decent results. Toil be able to print almost anything, i.g., photos, pdf, browser, etc...

My vote for Google Cloud Print. Works great on the Chrome like browser of the Asus.

I noticed a reviewer said that app charges to print. After you buy the app then you have to pay either per page or for a subscription. Is that false? Either way 13 bones seems pretty high for an app that simply allows me to print.
And while Google Cloud Print seems pretty cool, I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require my PC to be on. It's been off more often than not since I got my Xfrmr.

You would have to get a WiFi ready printer.
+ 1 for google cloud print. I use it on my droid x and TF.

Got it. It's just not one that supports e-print. It doesn't seem like printing to a wireless printer should be very difficult which is why I'm surprised the only app I can find that does this costs $13 (and possibly more).
I am still looking for a print solution. I don't need to print from remote locations, but it would sure be nice to print to my network enabled Epson color laser directly from my TF. If Google is serious about the business user or taking over the netbook market print services are an essential part of this.

Print Spooler Has Stopped
" Print spooler has stopped.'
Is the message I get when I try to use Google Cloud Print .
I have cleared cashe , uninstalled then reinstalled , and it's still the same thing.
I can print the test page on the Google Cloud Print page on my computer but every time I try to use it from my
phone that's what I get.
Any answers or fixes ?

Can anyone please recommend an app that offers the ability to print docs to a wifi printer? Preferably direct to a printer configured to an IP address (I'm using a Belkin wifi print server)
An equivalent app on IOS would be Print Central..
http://mobile.eurosmartz.com/products/printcentral.html
Cloud Print Beta Not totally direct but does a decent job.
Yeah I saw that... tempted... I guess the issue is that in iOS they have allowed for the whole "Open In" feature in the API to allow devs to offer this feature in their apps.. which is why you can get a doc in the browser and "Open In.." print central to print it - that app also comes with "Generic drivers" for HP and Epsom devices which means direct WiFi printing is possible in most cases without some companion server-app having to be installed on a PC connected to the printer
Was kind of hoping with Android's "open-ness" this would be less of an issue but the options seem quite limited at the moment
(Which is strangely ironic when you think of Apple's closed-ness)
Had a closer look at Cloud Print.. I guess it'd do what I want IF I buy a new HP "E-Print Enabled" printer and switch to K9 (no real need to yet but may need to for encrypting/decrypting mails with APG plugin)..
Other than that.. as I've not got a PC plugged into a printer (i use that belkin printer server), let alone have one thats on all the time.. having to install a server app to get it working isn't really an option
**EDIT**
Have just seen this... could work.. There's a free version, but for full functionality its gonna cost about £7 (a couple of quid more than I paid for Print Central on the iPad)
Printer Share
I think that app lets you print out a test page before buying.
I'm using Printershare, which works well with my HP DJ8000N connected to my network. The initial client allowing you to test print is free, but I had to pay for an extra pack to get the full working package. It seems to integrate well into any app that has a "share" option.
The current app is not optimised for tablets, so the button and "print preview" are all squished up in a corner, but it doesn't appear to affect functionality.

Thanks for that, tried the free app.. it scans for compatible printers on my network but can't see my belkin printer server on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Although the HP printer connected to that print server is on their compatibility list, it isn't a "WiFi" printer in and of itself.. so I've pinged them an email to ask if they're going to add the option to manually configure IP based printer ports.
IF it offered that feature, I think it'd be the closest thing to Print Central on Android but currently.. no
I stand corrected.. Discovered 'Print Bot'.. similar free version to try it out, before having to buy a license to use it properly.. looks a lot more configurable.. can print emails directly from K9 and forgive my earlier ignorance of Android, but there does appear to be the equivalent of the ios 'open in..' if its been coded for (as with ios)
So here's hoping.. will report back if I get it working
**EDIT** Yep, it works a treat! 'just a driver' effectively, rather than a file viewer app like Print Central was.. but in many waysi think that's better.. can print files directly from a file manager too, which is cool.. Android oh how thee continues to impress me!!
Right, i'm off to buy a printbot license
I am trying to find a good note taking app to go along with my GT-P6210, and I came across the Supernote app on the Asus Transformer. I have heard some great things about it, but I can't find it in the app market. Does anyone know if its compatible with the Tab 7 plus?
Also, if you know of any good note taking apps for a college environment, feel free to suggest. I am looking to be able to make bullets and sub bullets (something evernote cant do) and I would like to be able to write or draw directly into my notes with a stylus.
Evernote w/ skitch allows me to write/draw, but the downfall is that it groups all my drawings seperate from my notes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Supernote is specific to that tablet but there is an extracted apk though it's not optimized for our tab. Search the forums for it.
You can try quill.

I looked up quill and I may be wrong, but it looks like you can only write. But I found a Supernote apk so ill try that out and let you guys know how it is.
It's working, but not fit to screen... deleted.
Supernote is such a good app...........but it doesn't fit the screen. The sidebar gets cut off so you can't use certain features. It would be amazing if it was optimized for our size tablets
I like Supernote so much I've adapted to using it on the GTP with parts of the app being off screen. I'm hoping that if Asus ever releases the Memo 7" tablet to market there will be a version of Supernote for it. They've teased it at the 2011 & 2012 CES.
alternative to supernote
The app that I use more is Catch Notes, cause it lets me syncro with my phone, but it is not on the same league.
Give GNotes a try. I just recently discover it. It has bullets, you can type, handwrite, attach a picture, a video or some sound.
But actually, I was so busy trying to find a good app, that I didn't realize how good the stock application included in the tablet is. I'm taking about the one that can be found in the bottom bar. You can attach pictures, you can synchronize (haven't try yet), you can write anyplace in the sheet, handwrite (better than GNotes) and it floats on top of the other windows, allowing you to take notes while you are reading an article, for example.

I totally agree with you. The stock app is totally good! It even syncs well with Google docs.

Does anyone know of an office suite of at least app that works like onenote works on a desktop/laptop. Onenote mobile doesn't allow you to insert handwriting anywhere you want like it does in the desktop version so does anyone know of an app that will allow you to insert handwriting plus typing side by side. Supernote doesn't allow for full size drawings and instead actually inserts it into texts which is not what I want.
I don't know man, I've been searching for one stone I got mine and i haven't been able to find one. I know that if Microsoft and Google sit down and actually put time into our they could make one that actually functions like the desktop version or is at least tablet optimized.

I would imagine that onenote will get some sort of tablet optimized update at some point after the surface is released.
