最近在做关于Android的项目,Android果然不是出于国内,很多东西都是国外已经成熟了或者已经开发好了,国内去效仿。为了找关于Android无线连接打印机并打印的第三方开发方案都非常的困难。由于最近项目需要用到这一块,经过我的组员的努力,找到了一种解决方案,为了能够和大家分享一下,也为了自己以后的参考,在这里稍作总结一下。经验有限,希望有更好方案的可以不吝赐教,我也会在以后的学习中不断修缮自己的方案。
为了便于大家的参考,本文涉及到的所有的相关工程文件都在本人的csdn下载部分有相关资料下载。
1.背景:
很多开发者在工作上或者学习中可能需要通过基于Android系统的手机或者平板终端连接打印机,并驱动打
印机打印自己发送的图片或者文本。本篇博客主要致力于解决这个问题。
2.方案:
本方案需要在android系统中安装一个软件send2print,在我的csdn下载频道中有相应的中文破解版下载链
接,然后再写自己的程序,来调用其接口进行打印。事先需要在send2print中配置好默认打印机,我们写的程序
就是调用其默认打印机进行无线打印。
3.send2print:(我的csdn下载:http://download.csdn.net/detail/kunlong0909/4514502)
这个软件可以安装直接使用,可以搜索开着无线的打印机,并连接进行打印,目前只有国外有卖该产品,
国内网上可以下载汉化版,我的csdn下载中也有。汉化版有一定的缺陷,经过测试,佳能产品的大部分型号
都无法实现打印,但是HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP可以实现打印。
4.代码实现:(我的csdn工程源码下载:http://download.csdn.net/detail/kunlong0909/4514570)
我也不想贴代码,但是,安装好之后,配置上默认打印机,你只需要两个类就可以轻松实现无线打印了,
由于代码量不大,也很容易看懂,我就直接贴在下面了,如果需要测试打印的资源文件可以到我csdn下载频道
下载,这该死的博客怎么没有直接上传资源功能,还是我没有发现啊,谁发现了告诉我一声啊,嘿嘿。

其实整体上的逻辑很简单,连接无线打印机和驱动打印都是通过send2printer来实现的,我们只是需要调用它,将我们需要打印的信息发送给它就行,so easy!
