Doesn't work on stand alone network printers – ThinPrint Cloud Printer – Print directly via WiFi / WLAN or via cloud to any printer Review

Doesn't work on stand alone network printers where there's no general purpose computer available to run the connector. If you do have a computer and everything works right, you can get a print, but it may not print or print correctly. The difficulty is that most apps have no printing capability and for those that do it’s usually an after thought by the developer and all to often not well implemented. That said, this isn’t any fault of the ThinPrint developers. They took the only path that had a chance of working but the real issue is that mobile devices in general still have a long way to go before well formatted printing is the norm. I give the developer a lot of credit, the app is cleaver, it uses a brokered connection to punch through NAT and low end firewalls and deliver the print job to a real computer with the correct driver for the attached printer. However I would strongly advise this app not be used to connect to a computer within a cooperate network where the IT staff professionally configures high end firewalls, not only will they identify and block an inbound encrypted tunnel but you’re likely to receive a personal visit from IT as well.
