2.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised February 19, 2012

Read before you buy for Kindle Fire: I cannot print from gmail or google docs. Also, I cannot print to my google cloud printer. Here's what PrinterShare support says: "Kindle Fire is a different kind of tablet even though it runs (customized) Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.
Our app requires an acces to Gmail accounts which are specified under settings/accounts & sync on other Android devices.
Since KF uses a separate app to access your email, PrinterShare is unable to read your account information, access Gmail, Google Docs or Google Cloud Print.
We are currently working on briging the full range of PrinterShare features to Kindle Fire users."

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad at All June 26, 2011

First, you must have the paid version. There is a free version that will allow you to print a test page. BUT, it does print the test page, thank you very much. And a nice test page it is!

The paid version does as advertised. I never would have paid $12.99 but with it under $8.00 here at the 'zon, I knew I could use it. It locates your network and/or ~~nearby~~ printers and prints a variety of formats (4x6, 5x7, etc), doc types (.pdf, pix, OA formats, etc), and intensity (from economy gray to max photo). Good options are available. Some things, though:

1. You need to upload a free printer driver from their website. It is automatic and painless as long as it can identify your printer. While it found my Epson Artison 810, it did not find my wife's newer Epson Artison 830. Strange. If it cannot find a driver, it will take you to a list, by manufacturer, where you can pick yours - or the closest to it in the same family. If my wife's driver were available, it would have been worth another star.

2. Cannot multi-task while running the app.

3. Not blazing fast, but competent. Wouldn't want to print a 20 page doc or a bunch of 8x10 high res photos though.

4. Will print SMS text conversations. Kinda neat, possibly helpful.

Since I use Dropbox on the web, this will be helpful to print those docs when I need to. I suspect it can/will identify printers in wireless networks in hotels, hotspots, etc to print from although I have not tried it.

Last, in these reviews, I found it is always helpful to give the device you are running. So, Samsung Infuse 4G on AT&T...which is an AT&T phone that works at the Amazon Android App Store..

5.0 out of 5 stars It's super easy to set up, and it works June 28, 2011

I have an HP wireless printer, the HP officejet pro 8500. Unfortunately, I got the last model before ePrint. I have tried a couple other printing apps, but they either don't work at all or require extensive set up and a running computer. This is the first app I've found that allows me to print directly to my wireless printer, and it was easy! there is a free version to run a test page and make sure it will work with your phone and printer. I've printed a few documents and a photo without a hitch.
