Printing, mobile app, Tablet

The options seem very limited, right?

Hi there, there are lots of things that can be done with tablets (ARM) but printing is still a challenge. My research brings up:

- PrinterShare
- Another alike, can't remember the name
- Google Cloud printing (no no I will not use that)
- Installing Debian on the tablet

I have a couple of mobile apps, one that I would like to convert into native code or at least into an Android app and printing will be awesome. I would like to keep the device off the net, I want to stay as away as possible from cloud printing. I know PrinterShare let's you directly plug the printer but I would like to have the APP print button and just that, not forcing the user to open any kind of document and then hit print, nope, I would like it from the app itself.

Any ideas or experiences?

i had a great experience with PrinterShare but yet to try Google Cloud. Why don't you want to use it? is it that bad?

Thanks, I need an offline solution. I read printer share can also print directly to USB, I'm about to try it, what I'm looking for is printing from the app itself, difficult...
