Yes, your Samsung Galaxy tablet is wireless. Yes, it’s mobile. No, it shouldn’t have a printer attached, but golly, it’s almost a crime not to be able to print some of those incredible images you’ve captured with your Galaxy tablet. So rather than break the law and leave the images on the tablet, you can instead print from your tablet.

You have several options, including using a printer with Bluetooth capabilities.

To print an image from your tablet to a Bluetooth printer, follow five very simple these steps and in no time you can hold the image from your tablet in your hands.

  1. Ensure that the Bluetooth printer has been paired with the computer, is on, and is ready to print.

  2. Locate the image you want to print in the Gallery.

    Show the image full screen, not in an album.

  3. Touch the Bluetooth icon.

    If you don’t see that icon, tap the touchscreen. If you still don’t see it, tap the Share icon (and choose Bluetooth.)

  4. Select the Bluetooth printer from the list.

  5. If prompted by the printer, confirm that the image upload is okay.

    Not every Bluetooth printer has such a prompt, but don’t panic; some just go ahead and print the image.

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office. He publishes a free weekly computer newsletter, “Weekly Wambooli Salad,” and also maintains the vast and helpful Web site www.wambooli.com.
