What do I need to print from Galaxy S6 and S6 edge?

As you already know, Galaxy S6 or S6 edge is as powerful as some laptops. According to the calculation of Expert Exchange, Galaxy S6 has about 35 GFLOPS raw processing power, which is comparable to most middle range laptops.

This explains why many Galaxy S6 owners use the phone as pocket laptop to process documents, edit photos and perform other office duties.

When you have documents in Galaxy S6 or S6 edge, you may wonder whether you can print from Galaxy S6 and S6 edge directly.

The answer is yes. Google have this solution in Android for a few years already.

You can print from Galaxy S6 and S6 edge locally (to a printer in your local network) or through cloud.

In this guide we will discuss about printing to local printers.  Google cloud printing will be discussed in a separate page.

What you need to print from Galaxy S6 and S6 edge include:

  • a network connected printer.
  • same network for printer and Galaxy S6 or S 6 edge,  preferably connecting to the same router.
  • the Android printer plugin provided by the printer manufacturer, normally released in Google Play store for free.
  • patience.

Step-by-Step guide on how to print from Galaxy S6 and S6 edge to local printer

Step 1: prepare your printer

The first step to print from Galaxy S6 and S6 edge is to make sure the printer is ready. This means:

  • the printer is connected to network either through Ethernet cable, or through wireless connections. Most modern printers are network enabled.
  • the printer should have no errors, e.g., out of paper, no ink/toner…..

You need follow the printer setup guide to set the printer and connect it to the network.

Step 2: install printer plugin

In this guide, I suppose you use a Brother printer. For other brands, you can search Play store to find the corresponding print service plugins.

If you are using a Samsung printer, you may skip this step because Samsung printer plugin was pre-installed on Galaxy S6 and S6 edge.

As shown below,  when you search “brother printer”, two top results are returned under apps.

What you need is the second one “Brother Printer Service Plugin”. For other brands, you should also check for plugins, not standalone app.

Tap  Brother Printer Service Plugin to enter app info page.

You can check again whether this is a print service plugin.

Tap INSTALL as shown below.

print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_1_search_plugin print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_2_printer_plugin

Just like any other apps, before installing the printer plugin, you are prompted with the permission acknowledgement.

Tap Accept as shown below to proceed.

Now, the brother printer plugin is being installed to your Galaxy S6.

It may take 1 or 2 mins depending on your network connections.

print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_3_plugin_permissions print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_4_installing_plugin

Step 3. activate printer plugin

By default, the newly installed printer plugin is not activated.

To print from Galaxy S6 or S6 edge to local printer, you need activate the printer plugin (print service plugin to be precisely). You only need activate the plugin once.

Go to Galaxy S6 Settings in either ways:

  1. from apps screen, tap Settings.
  2. from notification panel (swipe down from status bar or top of the screen with one finger), tap Settings (gear) icon.

In Settings page, tap More connection settings (under connections) as shown below.

Tap Printing as shown below.

print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_5_more_connection_settingsprint_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_6_printing

Now, you can find all installed printer plugins in your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge.

In this page, you can also find Download plug-in option. But it seems the search is not good. It is better to search brand directly in Play store.

Tap Brother Print Service Plugin as shown below.

In the new page, you need drag the switch to right side to activate the brother printer plugin as shown below.

Once the printer plugin is activated, the switch will turn green as shown below if you are using the default Galaxy S6 theme. If you are using other Galaxy S6 themes, the color may be different.

In addition, your Galaxy S6 or S6 edge will start to search for Brother printers in the network.  In this case, it found the [easyazon_link identifier=”B00DQOAPFM” locale=”US” tag=”ggos6-20″]MFC-J650DW[/easyazon_link]. This means Galaxy S6 is ready to print to this printer.

print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_7_installed_plugins print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_8_enable_plugins

Step 4: print from apps

Different apps may have different ways to access printing function. You need check inside the app you are using.

For example, you want to print a photo.

In Gallery app, you can open the photo. Tap it once to get the options.

Tap Share as shown below.

Tap Print in the sharing options as shown below.

print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_9_print_photoprint_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_10_share_print

By default, Android will try to print to PDF.

So, you need change it to your printer by tapping the down arrow in the right side of Save as PDF as shown below.

You can also change the paper settings including size, margin and orientation.

Select your printer and get the printed photo from your printer.

print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_11_select_printer print_from_galaxy_s6_and_s6_edge_12_print

Can you print from Galaxy S6 and S6 edge to your local printer now?

    Hi! When I tries printing a document from Google Drive on my S6 Edge, the entire document was extremely small and difficult to read. I have already tried experimenting with the paper size options but that has not seemed to help. Thanks!

      Following your instructions, I can print but, it is a long process, I have to save as pdf file, then to print I have to go into Documents, then I can print. Just wondering if there is a simpler way. I am using a HPD110 e-printer and the Samsung S6 edge plus.

        What’s the files format? You need find a proper app for it?

        You can print PDF file because the app you are using for PDF file has printing feature.

        It’s up to individual app developers to offer the printing feature or not.

          @ Angel Marrero – we have the same phone and I printed following the instructions, I agree that it was pretty easy. I did not save it as pdf, I just changed it using the drop down menu to my printers name. Those were very simple instructions and I am thankful for them providing this to end users. 🙂

    Somehow my s6 edge is not able to find my xerox printer. I was able to set it up through google play, but can not set it up in the phone. I downloaded xerox print service app and enabled it, but it doesn’t find any printers, although both my phone and printer are connected to the same wireless network.
    Anybody had the same problem?

        every app on the Galaxy s6. Simple case is open an image from the Gallery and do share, from there clicking on the “Print’ icon. You can see the greenish print form (with something like print to pdf) shows up at top of the screen in a fraction of second then disappeared.

          When you choose Save as PDF, it should ask you choose number of copies, paper size. Then you can tap the action button. The PDF file should be saved in the My Documents folder.

            That is what the problem is, that the greenish print form does not stay and you don’t have chance to do anything it goes away. If it is on other device it is as what you said it will let you choose ‘save to pdf’, or other options. But just this Galaxy s6 the print form flashes and disappears after clicking on the “Print” option to try to do print.

      Your S6 and the printer must be connected to the same WiFi network. Did you get any errors?

      A few plugins do not search printers until you use printing function in an app.

    I have printed on my printer from my s6 phone before without any difficulty. But today it will not either print or cancel print job. I had to go to my main computer to get it to print. Now I cannot get rid of the notification that is deleting. Maybe I should wait after all it’s only be 16 hours 🙁 rebooting the phone does not work.

      this highly depends on the printer vendor and model. Some manufactures have own standard, for example, HP wireless direct.

      anyway, if you need use wifi direct print, you need enable WiFi direct on the printer (some manufactures may have slightly different names), then connect your Galaxy S6 to it (you only need turn on WiFi on S6 and then connect to the printer).

          If the vendor (Hp, brother, Samsung…..) service plugin is installed, the printer should appear as normal network printer as you connect the phone to the printer through WiFi direct. You need connect the phone to the printer first.

I installed HP ePrint and I have that option, but it says I require an additional security step. it also doesn’t seem to acknowledge Type app.

      In gmail, open the email, then tap menu key, then tap print.. It should ask you to specify printer.

      It’s not necessary to use eprint which is for apps without printing options.

    Thank you! Thank you! I’ve been all over the internet on three separate occasions trying to figure out how to print directly from my Note 5 to the printer. My Canon printer model has issues with printing from Google Drive and Canon still hasn’t resolved it, so my only option was to print directly like my computer does. You were the ONLY person that fixed my problem, and I tried several “how to’s” before I found you.

    When I try to install the HP print service plugin, I get an error message saying, “You don’t have any devices.” with a red upside down triangle.

      At which stage, did you get the error? You may give more details on the procedure you are following.

      Do you still get the option flashing and then disappearing? Did you try it from different apps?

    Yes. Still flashes and then disappearing. . Yes, email, gallery, you name it. I am able to print using the e-print app from HP.. but it’s not the same. To many operations, and just really annoying. ..

      So, it is not printer plugin issues because you even cannot print as PDF.

      You may backup the phone and try a factory data reset. Don’t install any third-party task manager apps or anti-virus apps or any optimization/boosting apps, after resetting.

      Can you find the printer in Settings – more connection settings – print? If not, you may check whether the printer is connected to the network.

    I have the same issue as Cheryl posted on 12-7-16. My Samsung S6 and my Samsung tablet both give me the message “Failed to change settings. Try again.” I have followed the exact same steps as Cheryl with no results. My HP Officejet printer is Model #4652. I cannot print an email through my GMail on either device. What could I be doing wrong?

    I am at my wit’s end. I am sure that I have the Epson iPrint Enabler enabled. I even have the Samsung print enabler enabled. I have the Epson iPrint app on the home page of my Galaxy S6.

    BUT when I go to print an email from my Gmail, it says, “Failed to change settings. Try again.”

    What settings. I have tried, and thought I did, change every setting.

    Please help before I throw the cell, and the printer, out the window.

    Thank you.

      is the printer listed in the page of Epson Print Enabler page (after you turn it on)?

      Epson iPrint app has nothing to do with the enabler/plugin. You need to open the app and choose what to print. It works on phones with and without wireless printing support.

    Using a Canon MX530 printer, scanner, copier, fax. It is a wireless printer and everything is all set up as far as the printer is concerned. I can print wireless from my desktop computer and my spouse can print from her smartphone which is an iPhone.

    I am having issues getting anything to print from my Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone. I have the Canon plugin installed on my S6.

    Whenever I have tried to print, I get the following message …

    “Failed to change the settings. Try again.”

    Anyone with insight on how to get around this glitch?

    Thanks!

      1. Can the printer be found in Settings–More connection settings –Printing –Cannon print service?
      2. When you try to print, does the Cannon printing configuration page pop out? You may share the screenshot for the screen before you get the error in our Facebook page.

      You need to turn on nearby devices / quick connect in S6. You can find it under quick settings (swipe down twice from the status bar).

      You should use an app if you need print multiple photos on one page. Most printer vendors, like Epson, HP, brother, have their Android apps (in addition to the plug-in). These apps have many features. You may check it in Play store depending on your printer brand.
