Your Android phone is capable of connecting with a variety of Google services. One little-known feature is the phone's ability to send output to a printer connected to your desktop or laptop computer. Using Google's Cloud Print service and the Cloud Print app from the Android Market, you can access the printer on your computer system and print directly from your Android phone no matter where you are.
