2024-10-29 | Aavas Rayamajhi | I just can't do the printing by myself. When I try to choose Mobility print it says cannot add printers!!! | |
2024-09-12 | Elena Lim | I installed it, tried to connect to my school printer, and didn't let me select ANY printer from the list. I tap on the printer to select it, and nothing happens both on android phone and tablet. | |
2024-07-09 | Yishan Wang | Useless. Never works for printing on android from Google Drive. Mobility print always shows up as added but never prints for me. I hate this app and the fact that this is the only option my university gives its students. | |
2024-04-08 | Glenn Tate | Works one day then not the next. Have to keep reinstalling on both Android and Windows PC. Update: My Samsung phone was the issue. Did a factory reset and it works as advertised. David in support spent days helping me work through the issue. Kudos. Have to occasionally turn wifi off and on again to find the printer. | |
2023-09-28 | Tyr H. | It just doesn't work. I only got it so I could use my school printers to print off my assignments, and it wouldn't work. Setup was easy, I guess that's the only upside, but when it comes to doing its only job, it fails miserably 9 times out of 10. It just says "print failed". It did work once though, so props for that? It failed the other dozen or so times I tried to make it work though. | |
2023-09-13 | Michael Elkin | Finally worked. i installed the PC app and this, but it would not detect a printer. i installed the widows mobility printer on another PC which worked perfectly and showd that the server was configured correctly. i had to install the print server on the same machine that had the mobility printer but no connected printer for it to finally work. don't understand how, but glad it did. | |
2022-08-19 | Zaim Zain | UPDATE: I found a solution for this. You need to restart the Mobility Print service through the host computer. Which makes the process tedious if you are outside. PREVIOUS COMMENT: Previously, Mobility Print able to print through my local network. Somehow, the app cannot connect to host printer, and it does not allow me to add printers. I hope the team will fix this bug. | |
2021-11-14 | Yvon (dtm) | After reading a dozen of scattered documentations I finally figured out how to navigate through the hard-to-use admin web UI, and little I knew that was just the beginning. My Android device kept saying "Cannot add printers" when I followed the instructions, installed this app and enabled it, and use my drawing app to print something. When I got to Android settings and get to printer list, this app's entry kept saying "Searching printers" and that's it. Zero printers. Online search for help brought me nothing. Every single page assumes I just snap my fingers and it just works. Only that it doesn't! My Android phone CAN cast to my Windows 10 PC running Papercut, so mDNS is working properly. Don't even try to divert the problem to my network setup because I have evidence it's working properly. SMB and Web printing are working no problem. | |
2021-09-03 | Ethan Matzdorf | I don't know how to use this app. I want to print from my phone to my school's printers, but there's no way to log in through the app. The printers don't show up on their own, even when at the school on their network. My school used Papercut-MF, so perhaps I'm using the wrong app, but the description and app itself don't explain that at all or what I should be using. I miss Google Cloud Print, this was all so much easier when that was around... | |
2021-08-29 | Luiz Silva | Edit. I changed from 1 star to 4. Not 5, because there is a known bug, which is not being informed correctly. If you go on your printer properties, on the advanced tab, YOU MUST DISABLE "Enable advanced printing features". Once I did that, everything was working fine!! |
