Mopria Print Service

Print from Android without a brand-specific app

Mopria Print Service connects an Android phone or tablet to compatible printers over Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct. It is suited to anyone who needs to print documents, images or other content from a mobile device, whether at home, in a shared office or in a larger workplace. The service works through Android’s print and share functions, so printing can be available inside other apps rather than requiring a separate app for every printer brand.

What the service handles

The print dialogue provides practical controls for everyday jobs. You can choose the number of copies, switch between colour and black-and-white output, set page orientation and use duplex printing where the printer supports it. Support for page ranges and media choices can also help when a job needs more than the default settings.

• Printer connection: Works with Mopria-certified printers on a local wireless network and with supported Wi-Fi Direct setups.
• Office options: Compatible equipment may expose features such as PIN-protected printing, user authentication, stapling and hole punching.
• System integration: Print content from browsers, social apps and productivity tools through Android’s built-in sharing and printing routes.

Important limits

Compatibility depends on the printer being Mopria-certified and on the options made available by that hardware. Older or legacy printers may not be covered, so this is not a guarantee that every printer on a network will appear. On some Android devices, the service may be supplied as a system component, which can limit how it is removed or managed.
