I'd suggest the same with Nefariouss.
Printershare.
Just go to google play and download it. Easy to use.
Can be used over wi-fi, or google cloud.

Nobody is telling you to print from your PC. You have to use an app called Printer Share, or Cloud Print to print gmail from your NOTE 10.1. We can accomplish this by using the service Google Cloud Print. http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/
You will set up this service initially on your PC. It will act as an inbetween from your note to your printer. Once you have added your printer to the list of authorized devices in Google Cloud Print you then can use one of the above mentioned apps to print from GMAIL through the APP.
For instance I use Printer Share. So I open the App, and there are 9 options laid out in a 3x3 grid. I choose the Gmail icon and it opens up a list of my gmail emails.I then choose what email I want to print and select the print option. It give me a print overview. At this point I can hit print again and it will print the gmail to the corresponding printer that I have set up through Google Cloud Print.
The only caveat is that your Computer has to be on. But you can then print from anywhere in the world to your printer as long as both your computer is on and your Note has internet access.
You can also use these apps to print any thing from your Note to your home printers. For instance I have a photo printer, color printer and a laser printer connected to my google cloud account. If I'm printing documents or notes I can choose the laser printer. If I need to print something that has color graphs or text I can choose my color printer. If i want to print a photo from my note I can choose the photo printer. I don't use the photo printer that much because I normally don't keep paper in the paper tray and I like a lot more control over my photos through the use of photoshop. But the option is there if you want.

If you use Firefox you can save any website as a PDF from the main menu.

Is is very disappointing in the modern era that I need to have the pc switched on to print from tablet to printer. To add insult to injury Samsung will only allow Samsung printer to print emails (non Google) directly. I can print documents and photos but not emails from tablet to HP printer using HP apps. There is no apps similar to one for pc so that all things can be printed without all these porking around. May be android needs to grownup or me to go back to windows based system.

Why would you ever switch your PC off? If your printer is connected to a desktop then you shouldn't have any problems printing over the network. If it's a WiFi enabled printer, see if there is an app for that printer brand.

Of course man...
In cloud computing, u will still need ur cloud server to be on, in order to access ur sharing files.
Same with this. Ur computer will act as a cloud printer server. Of course it will need to stay on.
Or, if u have a wifi printer, u can try to connect first.

Yes I use a HP WiFi printer. So I don't normally have both on. I still can't believe thereby are no printer drivers or similar for a tablet. I moved to tablet for home use so that I could simply get rid of pc. Now it appears I have to have both systems

Then don't use Google cloud. That was just a suggestion. Use the other suggestion. It is an app called "PRINTER SHARE". It is in the play store. Prints directly from your tablet. Not to be a **** but you keep saying how it amazes you that you can't do this...you can buddy! It amazes me you can't read all the post's to YOUR question! Again not being a **** but it has been stated you can accomplish your goal with an app! Please read everything!

[Q] Bluetooth Printing

Will our phones print web pages and such over the Bluetooth? My wife does a lot of printing coupons and I figured it would be one more IP to print from if its possible. I know it wont print them via cloud and such. Thanks in advance
Take a look at PrinterShare. This page doesn't mention BT but the app supports it. Try the free, crippled version first to check compatibility.
http://www.printeranywhere.com/mobile.sdf
I saw that but if I get a new printer Id like to do it over bluetooth.
Printers over wifi & Google cloud print are pretty well fail proof. If running ICS ull have the ability to run chrome. Chrome from ur main PC or notebook use chrome, go into settings advanced settings. Click Google cloud print to add ur new wifi printer. It's all self explanatory from there.

[Q] Print Cloud or Cloud Print ???

Did a little searching and found a little tid bit on the G-Tablet forum about Cloud Print but just that it was good. That's good to know.
What I'm really wanting to know is which is better; Cloud Print or Print Cloud which from the screenshots looks to be optimized for the tablet.
My main objective is to be able to be at work and if I need to, to print something off at my home printer that I can do it remotely. Am I wrong in thinking that Google Cloud Print can do that? Also it seems that just recently pdf file format was supported with Cloud Print. Cloud Print just had an update four days ago while Print Cloud had it's last update on July 21st. I don't know if that is actually relevent but I just thought I would throw it in there.
Has anybody used both of these and if so which do they think is better and why?
EDIT: Disregard; I found the answer I was looking for.
I'm curious to know what to answer you found was? I've wanted to know this same thing for a while.
Print Cloud is for any Ricoh Print Cloud enabled device. Meaning Ricoh devices. Cloud Print is for almost every printer out there. Also if you have one of the very new HP printers that have Cloud Print capabilities you don't even need to have your computer on to print to the printer.
Google Cloud Print is really neat. Once you have your printer and Google account set up, so long as your computer and printer stay on you can be anywhere in the world and print to your printer via your tablet. The nice thing is that the Cloud Print app is free. Considering that the iOS app for the iPad is $10. Two thumbs up for Android apps.
I was at work yesterday and jumped up on my TF and retrieved an email that I wanted printed so a family member could use the information. I opened my email and 'selected all' in the document, chose the Share button up at the top and selected Cloud Print and sent my email to my printer at home where my daughter could get the Sku / Tracking number for an item I had purchased at Walmart for 'Site to Store' pickup. She took the printed email and went to Walmart and picked up the item and it was waiting for me when I got home.
Possibilities are endless with this service. Imagine browsing the web and you come across a web page that has an article that you want printed. Just copy the article and share it and select Cloud Print and send it to your printer and it will be waiting for you when you get home.
It's still in beta but I can assure you that it works very well.
Cheers...

Printing to wifi printer

So I finally got printing all worked out on my captivate. I have a wireless printer and really want to leave the laptop on the desk and use my phone for everything. The one major problem has been printing. Finally, here's an answer...
To Print from your Captivate, it will cost you about $4.50 (or limit yourself to 3 docs a month.)
General Printing - test this first
Get PrintBot from the market (free version to test out - supposed to cover 2700 wireless printers)
Open it and setup your printer. My settings are...
Network Connection : Protocol - Auto Printer - choose your own
Printer : Re-select your printer
And print a test page. If this works, you are in business
Printing an Excel or Word Document:
Printbot is great for pictures and pdfs, but it doesn't print office docs, so those that your coworker emailed you just sit there So here's the great workaround.
First make sure you install these two programs:
From the market, find and install google documents, open it and sign in. Make sure you can use this on your cappy.
From the market, find "My Docs - Google Docs" (by RCS, LLC), install it and sign in.
Now you are about ready! Don't give up hope to soon!
You must upload your file to Google Docs, but for some odd reason it doesn't allow you to upload xls into it (unless I'm and idiot and can't find the upload button). But "My Docs" allows this. So open up My docs, click upload, and choose your file. It will be uploaded to your google docs account. You can close mydocs, it has served it's purpose.
Open your google documents (called "Docs" in the app drawer), find the file you uploaded (don't need to open it), from the arrow on the right side - open the pull down menu and click "SEND", choose "PrintBot" from the menu and your doc should start to print. Whew! Lots of steps, but it's done and printed. Caution! Watchout for multipage excel files, it will print each and every worksheet.
And Finally Printing Email from Gmail:
For some crazy reason, none of these programs interface easily. So you are in your gmail app and want to print off your free redbox rental code or some password you keep forgetting. Leave the email alone and open up your browser (yep, back to the www).
Go to the online version of mobile gmail. Sign in and open the email you want to print (I set up a shortcut on my homescreen). On the right side of the email, open the pulldown menu (double down arrows) and click "Print". This will open up google cloud print. You should have an option to "save to google docs" where it converts your email to a pdf and stores it in google docs. Then click "PRINT", it will create a pdf document of your email. you can close the www, or just surf around for a while...
Now back to google documents on you phone, find the pdf, click the menu on the right, click send and send it to Printbot. It will print your pdf.
And that's the whole 99 steps to printing documents with your captivate. OO) Actually it works pretty quick as long as you use your home wifi. I tested it with excel, word, and gmail files.
Good luck - Will
Or, check out Cypria Free from the market.
thanks

That would work for photos, but I wanted emails, excel, word too. Plus Cypria is epson printers. But I'm sure it works great for most uses.
Sorry about the epson part. Wasn't thinking about everyone else.
Try Printer Share from the market. Works for more printers and prints almost everything.

That looks like it would work better, and has the with the ability to choose which pages to print. A bit more expensive, but probably worth it of you printed a fair number of pages.
It was free in Amazon app market a while back. Maybe the will do it again.

MarkUp Word doc

Is there a way to mark upi a word document with the spen? I would like to be able to review documents and put editing marks and notes on the page using the spen and then save my notes and email back to the orginiator

I think you should be able to do this with Polaris Office however it does not work very well. There are two other options, either you convert the document into a pdf and use a PDF annotator such as ezpdf or there is a new app called textmaker which allows you to mark up text like MS Word but the app is expensive although there is a free trial availableon their website at the following link:

Here are some notes I made on using Polaris for ink notations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856691
I haven't found another office product that allows ink annotations either. I did install MobileNoter SE HD recently. Its an unofficial OneNote app for Android that has tons more functionality than the official OneNote app, including ink annotations that will be captured and synced back to OneNote on a PC. Here is a link to that, but FYI its $15 (but worth it if you are a heavy OneNoter).

Thanks for the link. I checked it out. The functionality looks good, but the implementation for me is a deal-breaker. From the description of the app:
" The documents you want to annotate and share are securely stored in your Soonr Personal account in the cloud so you must be connected to the internet to access them."
So you have to store your docs on their cloud server to annotate and access them, and there is no off-line caching of those docs. Sounds like the functionality is just a gimmick to get people using their cloud services.

Not to be rude like our "VP"........ but you are in correct. You can offline cache either in office formats or the pdf(annotated format)
When you have a doc on your screen you can either back arrow to save it as annotated to the cloud account. or if while it is on the screen you can hit the upper rt corner menu and down load which will cache it. What i have noticed is the down load did not seem to work if you are just in the soonr menu and long press a file to download it that way without it on the screen open. For me it must be open on the screen and DL from upper rt menu to cache.
I DL'd this app this morning to try it so i have not played alot with it but this is what i know so far. Seems pretty good though.

Many thanks for the further insights. If you do download/cache it, can you open it in the sonnr app without an active internet connection to truly work with it offline? Or is the downloaded version "read only," still requiring an active connection to their cloud to make further annotations on the cloud copy?
I love the idea of the app, except if I have to be tethered to their cloud to use it.

yes it will work in their app, let you work on it and when you are done place it in a pending upload state until you are back on wifi. than it will update in the cloud. Still trying to work out everything- will take another look at it over the weekend.

A way to sync folders between phone, tablet and PC?

Why hallo thare!
As you see in my signature I have a Gnote and a Asus Infinity and my home PC is a MSI GX740 with Windows 7. My idea is that I want to sync some folders so they look all the same on all three devices. The method would be when they all are connected to my home Wifi they shall sync a certain folder. Another neat thing is that everytime I get home and connect my phone or tablet to my Wifi it shall upload the DCIM/Camera dir to my PC so I dont have to mess with that
Is this possible?
Thanx in advance

For sure it's possible, but why not give a chance to e.g. a dropbox. It gives all functionality you ask for, with uploading camera pics directly to dropbox folder on my lap, all folders in dropbox synced in all my units

I was looking for something similar and decide to use box.net as backup/sync tool.. Whenever I do something in one of the folders stored in box, it automatically syncs to the cloud. Then when I use the box app in my tablet, phone or desktop, all the files are synced.
I read somewhere about auto upload photos, but not sure if it was with box.net or dropbox.
hope this helps

Photo sync (camera upload) from a phone works in dropbox, and you have to choose an option whether any data connection or wifi only.
Try Sugarsync.

Faced with a similar need, I worked with a family member in another city to set up a private "Cloud" using FTP. I back my files up to his system, he backs his up to mine.
The PC apps are Filezilla server and client for the FTP functions. SyncBack is an automated backup/sync program. Those take care of PC to PC transfers and syncs.
The android app I chose is FolderSync.
Try GammaSync
For PC-to-Android folder synchronization (only one-way at the moment) I developed a free app which does not require external cloud storage services (like Dropbox or SugarSync). Check GammaSync. It's available on the Play Store. Maybe you'll find it useful
