In Over the last year there have been countless developments related to new mobile phones, tablets, and apps for personal and business use alike. While the majority of these developments have nothing to do with printing, there have still been a fair number of developments in the mobile printing realm (mobile printing is defined as sending or initiating a print job using a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet).We have noticed that new features have been added to mobile printing apps, including support for more printer models, file types, and print settings, and that more mobile operating systems are now compatible with these apps. These are certainly positive developments in terms of making mobile printing accessible to more users, as well as more practical.
