Help Printing? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Anyone know why my phone cant find the wifi printers at my work using the normal system? It usually lets me try to load a Xerox plug in but even when I use that the Xerox plug in cant find the printer. The only way I can print anything is if I use a third party printer app which finds my printer right away, and use a generic driver but even then its only black and white. Printer is a Xerox 6505DN, Thanks

Did anyone here tried this?

I found a external soundboard at this site I know it’s a USB connection but I believe it should be possible to make it connectable with miniUSB, if I connect such a player to my phone and the soundboard to my home theater am I then able to play the music directly from my phone to my home theater In my thoughts I would connect my phone through pocket control to my notebook and if possible my phone by wifi with my network. If this works I could make as soon as I arrive at home my entire music collection available through my phone just from my sofa. If anybody knows a reason why it can’t work please tell me. Regards Willem
probably wont work, as it will need drivers.
if u want to plug ur phone into the home theatre system, then use a micro-USB to Phono adaptor...

Ok but that’s as far the connection, can you tell me as well how to reach the files at my network, I mean I can reach my phone through my pc but reaching my files at my server even through ftp didn’t work until now, the control over my phone isn't a problem. By the way the external soundbox doesn't need any driver it’s supposed to be plug and pray.

It is for PC and not for Pocket PC or smartphone like USB connector should tell.
Diamonds or any other phones do not output power through miniusb to power devices. You have to go tablet pc or bigger devices if you want to plug USB things in it.
even if it is plug and play or not but it is not made for phones.

Print app thru usb

Looked and searched but can not find a way to use a printer with the usb cable. My printer has a usb port for printing pics from a camera anyone know a way to use it to print docs etc.. from phone
Thanks in advance
If you have a wireless network that your printer is hooked into try PrinterShare and you can print from your phone. I use it and it works very nicely.
That USB port on the printer is designed for digital camera and card reader hookups and is Windows or Mac based. It probably will not be able to read the Android file system on your phone. Not natively, anyway.

Software for Atrix-like Dock?

I've seen the way the Atrix docks so that you can use the phone on a larger screen; does anybody know of a way to do this with our Captivates? It would be great to just plug my phone in to my netbook or laptop, bring the phone up on the screen, and use the phone right on screen.
I'm not talking about hooking the phone up to the monitor, I'm talking about emulating it through the USB port onto Windows or Ubuntu.

you can use video out and bluetooth mouse and keyboard, a mouse pointer will pop up on the home screen. but you wont have a way to get a webtop like view unless you do one better and install linux on the phone and then use ssh and vnc software. unfortunately you will get a low res view because we don have hdmi like the atrix.
another alternative (like you are asking for) is to us the phone with a computer like a laptop and use droidvnc fro mthe market and a vnc client on the pc to get your home view on the pc. this can work on linux or window or mac. just a matter of a market app and a vnc clien for the pc
and yeah the atrix is kinda lame. they could have done better with it.

[Q] Use your phone as an USB cable extender ?

I am looking for a very specific app that I could be able to plug in a gamepad via USB-OTG and remotely use it on a PC. I found apps like Monect but they only work with built in touch controls and don't allow external devices. If anyone knows a solution, I would be more than glad to hear it

Sorry to answer with a question but wouldn't it be simpler to plug your game pad directly to your computer? Or maybe to use a wireless game pad connected to your PC?
What's the point of connecting a game pad to your phone and not directly to your computer? Adding some extra latency to make a game harder to play?
Sorry I'm very curious why
Well my gamepad is a cheap fake one that is hardly ever detected without third party apps but the reason is that I have an extremely short cable and I want to be able to use Steam's big screen on my TV with HDMI and play with a gamepad
Anyone ?
