the PrinterShare app. This Android app has drivers for several thousand
printers and includes most brands. This and includes the HP 4050 B&W
and 4650 color laserjets I have. So far, this finds my networked printers
with no fuss, and lets me select either and its advanced options. Not
sure I'll need the extra features of their $4.95 "premium
version".</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Precisely the best solution. $40 gets you a Pi3 with a case and an SD

<DIV>Just put a raspberry pi running CUPS in front of it. That gives you
a fairly easy way to support Google cloud printing, iOS printing, etc on your
old bulletproof tank. That's how my LaserJet 4+ is set up.
