- In the Android Market search for "print."

- For this tutorial we installed PrinterShare.

- Once installed tap the icon.

- Press the menu key and select Nearby Printers.

- It will scan to find any local printers.

- Tap back and select something like Print Calendar.

- It will display the calendar, but the printer will not be selected.

- Once again tap the menu key and select Nearby Printers.

- Tap on the printer it found for you.

- Now a dialog will come up informing you that some free drivers need to be installed.

- You only need 4MB of space free on your SD card. Tap Yes.

- You'll then get a screen that tells you that to print to nearby printers you need to upgrade to the Premium version which is $4.95.

- Tap Print Test Page.

- The page should start printing on your printer. If you want to print other things you'll need to upgrade.
