At home, I have Netgear PS110 that drives a couple of LPT printers. We use this so that all of the computers at home can print to a common set of printers.
Is there any way to get my Android devices (right now, a Nexus One with Cyanogen and soon a NookColor rooted) to print to this print server?
I did a Google search and found some cloud-based solutions but they require a client running on an always-on Windows machine. I searched here on XDA and didn't see anything that specifically covered printing.
Can someone point me in the right direction on this?

I use PrinterShare and it works great with my networked/printer setup. They have a free version and a $5 paid version. The free version did not work for me but the paid version worked great. It does not work with every printer or network setup out there, so you might want to "loan" the paid version before you purchase it. I have it up and running on my HTC Incredible and Nook Color.
Thanks for the tip but PrinterShare looks like it requires a client software running on a PC connected to the printer.
My printers are not connected to a computer -- they are connected to a dedicated print server.
I too am looking for this
I am also looking for the same solution. I need some sort of print utility that can print to an IP address used by my print server. When I ran Windows Mobile I had a very nice utility called PocketClipPrint that worked well this way. Unfortunately, Field Software, the vendor, is not interested in porting it to Android.
I have found no other offering that doesn't require an installed program on a running PC in the loop. Did you ever find a solution to this?

If you print with them from the computer then they are connected. Instead of a USB cable they are using a network cable. All of that happens in the windows system and should be independent of the PC app.

you don't seem to get how network printers work. there is NO computer connected to my printers. There is a little device from Netgear (specifically, the PS110) that connects over LPT to the printer and the other side is connected CAT5 ethernet cable.
There is no computer involved directly in the printing.
I use printbot with my ethernet printer, don't know if works with print servers.
Try, it's free.
any progress?
i also have a printer connected to my home lan (internal network and wired)
i can from my laptop which is connected via wifi to my lan print to it. no connection to the internet is required. if there isn't an app that can do this i'd be quite shocked! ?
Printbot worked great with my cannon pixma mp500 on android . Works great for network attached print servers that require ip address . I got it working with tomato firmware on router im sure itll work with ddwrt as well . I just wished it could do websites!! Atleast docs will print.
Printbot (free) works for android Htc evo 4g
I have windows 7 32Bit, a netgear WGPS606 printserver attached to a Hp Officejet K5400 (Standalone no computer attached) all this running on my wireless network (router = Netgear WRN2000), I downloaded Printbot (the free Version) right after seeing this post, tried it and had it printing in less than a minute. Thanx for the advice, this is exactly what I was looking for. Hope this helps anyone else looking to print from their android devices.
Printed from an Htc Evo 4g.

Bee tee dubs, Printershare does not need a PC client. It can print directly to any network printer. Says so right in its description, and I've tested it as well.

Printbot worked great with my HP laserjet, ( netjet interface) .. Happy to find this solution.
Well it seems i Can't get it to work properly. I stay conncted within the same WirelessNetwork, my printer is attatched directly to my router with a built-in printserver ( TP-LINK TL-WR1042ND). They use some sort of a wireless printer controller software that comes on a CD with the router. I contacted TP-LINK support describing my problem and asked them if there was any chance to print directly from my PC not using any of their software. Suprisingly after a month of wait time i got a reply. A guy over there explained that there is no need to use this software and I can print by adding a TCP/IP port over to an exisiting printer and hook it up to my PC that way. Also he said that print server of my router has exactly the same IP Adress, which wa smy biggest concern and i couldnt retreive that info anywhere. So when i received that reply i tried printbot once more providing it with my IP adress of the printserv then selected the connection method to LPR as support guy suggested, named the queue as suggested to lp1 and tried to connect. The error im constantly getting is Connection Refused failed to connect to /192.168.0.1 (port: 515). Any ideas how to solve this?

So, were you able to get it to work after all this time? I am now using the same router as you, the TP-LINK TL-WR1042ND. I was forced to get a new router, and this interestingly had "network printing" built in, so I got it. I can make it print with my PC, so it works somehow. Any luck with the Android device?
Try Google cloud print, It'll work tplink print server or even just an old usb printer:

Any printer can be used to print. It's easy. But remember your documents are sent to the cloud.

Also You can try Print Share It has local mode, i.e over lan without having to use cloud or internet.
This lets you share your printer already installed in your pc with your android.

I was wondering would it be possible to somehow get rosetta stone running on any of these dual core devices? wether it be a port or even an emulation of the basic services of windows needed to run the rosetta stone?
Probably the only way would be have it running on your computer and remote into you computer via critix, phonemypc, or the like

[Q] Splashtop remote login problem
Can anyone suggest a way to get around this problem please?
I would like to use splashtop to start up and shut down my pc remotely. I use a login password (windows default one) on the machine in question. The problem is that when I wake the pc remotely using 'WOL Wake on Lan' app, I can't type in the password on the remote machine, as the splashtop software doesnt allow access that early in the boot sequence.
I don't want to have to disable this password login, so can anyone think of a way to get around this? Maybe there is a way to use Tasker to send a remote password command? Is there another remote desktop client that would allow me to see the login screen?
I've tried 'Remote Desktop Client' app, which allows me to access the machine (its not nearly as good as splashtop at streaming video), but it bypasses the login screen, and when I try to switch to splashtop, all it shows is a black screen when connected.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Splashtop non-free, 0.99 today
seems to be a patterns with me. i buy an app at full price, then a few days later, it becomes heavily discounted, or (via amazon) free.
anyway, the afaik, the spalshtop that comes with the TF is the free version, with the 5 minute limit.
the non-free one is current at $0.99 in the market. the description says "on sale for 1.99" but the price is actually 0.99. maybe it's an oversight

No its not, its the full version. Yours isn't working because you haven't fully uninstalled a trial or another copy of it. Its pointless buying it again.

Second this question. I think this only happens if you back out of splashtop with the back soft-key, if you just press home or something you don't get it, usually, I think...
How can I install again if uninstalled the AT version the first time? I can't find again...

I don't need a signature.
To those who actually bought Splashtop, go to your devices menu (on the Transformer), then go to edit, and see what the highest resolution you can set it to.
The built in Asus Splashtop can support up to 1280x800 resolution (of your pc).
I know someone with a Xoom who bought Splashtop and his doesn't get an option of 1280x800, only 1024x768.... LOL

Yeah, I actually bought the market version to compare it against the mycloud one, but I refunded it due to the resolution capping at 1024x768 even though it was a newer version number than what we got with the Transformer.
I know this is a little off topic but does the Asus version of splashtop support mac 10.6?

Just bought splashtop hd and configured access to my desktop from outside. Its almost like sitting in front of the pc. And the cool thing is the keyboard dock totally works. I was also able to watch a hd movie from netflix. But since my desktop is connected to a hdmi receiver, I have to have the receiver on the correct channel all the time for audio to come through
i agree, splashtop HD is awesome, i connected it to my htpc and i can use xbmc to watch anything i want from it.

I want to buy it as well but I understand it only works if your TF is connected to the same WiFi network as your PC is... if that's the case, it means you need to be close to your PC...
This would be perfect if you can connect to your PC from anywhere!

You can - you just need to do some work with port forwarding on your router.
In addition, Splashtop are testing an auto-discovery system (much like PocketCloud) which will make this much easier in future, but unfortunately only the iOS clients support it at present.
Regards,
Dave
Do you know of a guide to set up the port forwarding!?

www.portforward.com Follow the guide for setting up static ip for your specific router model and then follow any of the portforwarding guide for any software and swap the port numbers used to 6783,6784 and 6785 (splashtop default ports)
Some newer routers have this setting called Static DHCP/Static Address, this is the same as setting static ip, but instead of your computer forcing your internal IP to be the same, the router does it for you based on your MAC address (binded to your NIC/Network Interface Chip)
From what I read, Asus is going to provide us Splashtop HD for free on their next firmware update. FYI.
I bought it anyways
Asus France tell me the exactly oposite when I asked them "There is no update of my desktop planned for the moment"
an official poster said in splashtop forum there will be a free update for the asus transformer..
anyway, what's the difference between splashtop HD in the android market and the splashtop that comes with My Cloud?... the my cloud version works perfectly fine and supports native resolution of 1280*800 too..
Hi peoples. I am in seach of the best remote pc app. I have currently tried:
Phonemypc: Which is currently my favorite remote pc app. Navigation is easy and it has a mouse function where you can slide your finger and see the mouse move. Frame rate isnt that great but it has the function to tap into the PC/Laptops camera and view from your mobile device, you can also tap into the mic and listen.
Splashtop HD: I also tried splashtop hd which is very laggy even on fast wifi. The image is alot more crisp, but its just very dificult to use. They claim 30+ fps but I couldnt get it to work that smoothly.
what is everyone else using to control their pcs?

I've used splashtop with very little lag on good WiFi, and even decently on 3G. What's the upload speed on the wifi you are using your PC in?

Remote VNC
I am recommending Teamviewer.

Of course on market is version for ANDROID.
I personally connect via VPN and then use the "2X" app to RDP to other servers.... With an external mouse, this combination works perfectly - just like you are sitting in front of a windows box. I use this mainly for support (I'm a unix admin by trade). Now, I never even need to open my laptop for after-hours support! By the time my laptop boots, I could have already got in and fixed the issue from my Transformer!
Wyse pocketcloud is absolutely amazing. I've been using it on my phone and tab for a long time now and never wanted to switch. Also free
Best I have used is Splashtop. I've used VNC, RAdmin, RDP, and X forwarding on various platforms and distances over the years and Splashtop has been the least laggy for me. I've been using the client included with my TF.

Spashtop is nice, but the problem is that you need to install a client on the remote PC.... RDP is nice becuase it's automatically available on all windows systems... If you are only connecting to one PC, I guess that's not a big deal, but for professional use, it's just too much of a pain (and security issue) to install a spashtop client on a bunch of PC's....
I use the Xtralogic RDP client. It's an amazing RDP app that does absolutely everything. I've tried dozens of different RDP apps and Xtralogic beats everything I've tried hands-down. It's a steep price on the market, but I found it for next-to-nothing on a third party app site.

2x and PocketCloud Remote Desktop using VPN
I´m using 2X or PocketCloud Remote, which are working both flawlessly to connect to my Win 7 Desktop (when FW is disabled, eventhough exception for TCP 3389 is konfigured), using WLAN.
I´d like to use the apps, when i´m home by VPN (like jtrosky) but in this case, traffic from PocketCloud isn´t even arriving at my ethernet port, whereas traffic from 2X does, but the connection doesn´t establish.
Tracing on the Ethernetport on my PC with Wireshark, i see a TCP SYN-packet comming in from my Transformer, followed by a TCP connection reset-packet (RST ACK) from my PC, where there sould be SYN ACK-Packet. So the TCP 3-way-handshake doesn´t work out.
FW and other security stuff is disabled. Access to my NAS is no problem, so VPN should be the root of evil.
Anybody any ideas?
pcap-dumps attached.
THANKS!
For what it's worth, I'm going to change my RDP-app recommendation from 2X to Jump Desktop... I didn't think you could get any better than 2X (it is a great app), but Jump Desktop is even better! I *love* the fact that I can basically RDP to my remote server without even connecting to my VPN at all! It allows you to connect via the internet - as long as you load a "helper" app on the PC(s) that you want to connect to.
Works GREAT - it is now my go to app for remote connectivity!

That means, that you open a port on your router / FW, like using DYNDNS, right?
I like the idea, VPNing home and connecting to my PC from inside my LAN, - just feels more secure.

Actually, that's the nice part - with Jump Desktop, you don't need to worry about any of that stuff - you just log in to your Google account (from inside the PC helper app) and then everything is automatic! No need to mess with port forwarding, DynDNS or anything like that - it's all automatic...
They have a free version - give it a shot - I think you'll like it!
Of course, you can always still connect to your VPN and use Jump Desktop to connect "directly" to your PC if you want to go that route. But, the option to be able to connect without VPN is a nice-to-have in case VPN access is down or something like that....

Ok! I keep hoping I'll see some neat way to get my desktop apps on my Surface on here! However, I found a pretty cool solution myself!
First I set up remote desktop with my windows 7 PC and my surface. That was cool. It felt clunky and slow. However, I looked up how to do RemoteApps. I thought it looked complicated but worth it. While stumbling around I found a utility that basically sets it up for you!
1. First setup remote desktop access and free the port for remote desktop. I will not describe it here.
2. I used this utility! Kim Knight's remoteapp tool. Google it. XDA won't let me post a link cause I've never posted before. I just wanted to share my findings.
3. I now can use Utorrent, Photoshop and even my silly Pidgin! Eventually I'm going to use Maya! It works great with hardly any lag! The only lag I get is when I'm saving to my tablet vs the remote computer. I haven't been able to get a browser to work yet but I have invested that much time into it. I'm sure other people will figure it out. Whats cool is Utorrent will save to my tablet. Yah download speeds are slower but expected!
Nice find
This is indeed a great find! I've played with RemoteApps before on the server editions of Windows, but it's quite tricky to get it to work with one server and not a huge enterprise! Being able to use it in this way is just great. Plus we can probably work out an XML file that will populate the apps into the RemoteApp control panel / metro RDP client automatically.
However, I'm having a problem with this on Win 8 (as a host). It seems to all setup ok, but upon connecting (from Win8 or Surface RT) after credentials, cert etc are accepted the RDP client just vanishes. I see Kim Knight's page says it works with Win 8 CP - has anyone tested it with Win 8 RTM? If MS have broken this with Win8 I think I'll have to setup a Win7 box/VM just for this purpose!
I had issues getting it working on Windows 7 pro at work, so i swapped up to Enterprise and it worked great. I haven't tested it at home yet off my system. I haven't used this but for my home fileserver, but you can take it a step further and patch RDP to work for multiple concurrent connections.
http://www.redmondpie.com/remote-de...-easy-way-with-this-native-windows-rdp-patch/
RemoteApp Tool requires:
•
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5
•
Remote Desktop 7 enabled on host
•
Remote Desktop 7 client on client
•
Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate (or Vista Pro or XPproSP3 - untested)

With concurrent connections, can you remote app and use desktop still with same login?
Edit: Tried it myself and it works. So now I can remote app in while I'm still logged in my desktop and it won't boot me off, allowing me to use them simultaneously with the same login.
I can confirm this works with Windows 8 Enterprise, but not Pro. There is, of course, no Ultimate. This is all a bit of a shame as I can't use RemoteApp on my primary home PC, which also runs Media Centre (which can't be added into W8 Enterprise).

RemoteApp is just a remote desktop connection to a specific application, it's been around since Windows XP SP3. It's also how XP mode in Windows 7 does its magic.
I know what remote desktop is! But remoteapp - seamless windowed app on client - is pretty impressive.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
The remote app program does work under Windows 8, but you need to run it as administrator otherwise it's crashtastic.
After that it works perfectly.
One other thing is that you should apply the patch to allow multiple co-current remote desktop sessions to work on your machine, here's the patch... http://www.tenniswood.co.uk/technol...current-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows-8/
That's not legal.

remote desktop help
Hey all, if anyone can help me get remote desktop working on my surface it would be greatly appreciated. If a developer out there could set up an app to get this done easier, could be a moneymaker, I know id pay for it.
After scouring youtube, and the web, I found a lot of different walkthroughs on how to set up a home pc as a remote server. Unfortunately, I really don't know what im doing and cant figure out why it isn't working. Im running WinXP Pro SP3 on a few year old laptop (I bought the thing during the Vista debacle, and down graded to xp for software reasons - I am an architect and needed my AutoCAD and various graphic intensive programs)
These are the steps that I have tried, all to no avail
- I go to control panel, System, Remote, turn on Remote Desktop.
- open Linksys router configuration, and try to set up Port Forwarding
- this is where it really gets confusing for me, and I don't think that I am doing it correct. I know I need to open the port, I go to Applications and Gaming, and enter RDP, Im not sure of the port number, and what else to do here
- cmd, ipconfig - I enter all information - ip address, DNS, Gateway, etc?
I then found out that in order to really get this working, I needed a static IP address - Im not sure how to do this, but I found a couple posts, and a youtube video suggesting using DynDNS to get this working as a host. I signed up, and am still not able to connect.
Any help would be appreciated - Im not great with this stuff.....I never really played with networking, before....Please help me get my Surface working. Its possible im not entering the address correctly in the Surface Remote Desktop App.
Thank You!!
If the surface is on your home wifi, it should be able to rdp (remote desktop) to the XP system no problem.
Only need the router ip mapping / translation if using the Surface outside the house on another Internet connection
