It says my printer blocks the job when it actually prints. But who cares, as long as it works.

A little flaky - sometimes the job gets stuck, but it goes through eventually. Ubuntu 14.04 server with a Samsung CLP-310 shared using Samba

Best printer app I have tried and I have tried a lot... While there are free apps (free of ads, free of cost and free of in-app purchases) similar to this one, what makes this one different is the versatility of connection methods and printer support (I have tried dedicated print server via samba and windows shared and they all work - especially with my deskjet printer which others had problems with). There is no doubt in my mind that once the remaining features are completed that this will be the top rated printer app on the market. Having said that, there are two points to note: 1- There seems to be an issue on lollipop (printer list would not load and advanced interface would show connection refused in browser. This is not the case for KitKat however...Works perfectly in KitKat). 2- If printing to a windows shared printer be sure to add the username and password of a windows account on the host pc that can print to the desired printers - assuming they are shared already. This is not a problem with the app - it is a Windows requirement).

It recognized my printer. But, still not print. Until I can figure it out or receive help. I cannot give it more stars

If you have said experience it's easy to setup and worked perfectly with my network attached HP P2035n. It doesn't seem to be compatible with my Brother DCP-7065DN or my Pantum P2502W. Expanding printer support to include these models would rate 5 stars from me.

You want to print without a cloud, this is your app. Ok, it is a little bit big, but hey it's a full featured cups install. Just make sure you use no external ppds which require extra stuff not available in this build. Works great for me.

There are not many CUPS apps available, and this one is the best of them. It says that the printer has rejected the job, but it prints OK. It implements full CUPS server, great.
