Gravid+ Printer selection & settings
One of the necessary features of Gravid+ app is to print the generated blood sugar level measurements reports.
In order to print directly from mobile devices, the printer has to be equipped with some Wi-Fi based protocols, such as AirPrint.
AirPrint
AirPrint is Apple’s solution to the mess of printer drivers and Bluetooth pairing. Printers that support AirPrint will be advertised as AirPrint compatible. Most printer manufacturers make printers that are AirPrint-compatible while also supporting other wireless printing standards. AirPrint is very convenient, but the big downside is that it only supports Apple devices. Luckily, AirPrint-compatible printers will generally also support other types of wireless-printing standards, so you can also print to them from non-Apple devices.
Google Cloud Print
This is Google’s answer to the wireless printing mess. When you use a Google Cloud Print-enabled printer, it connects to your wireless network like another Wi-Fi-enabled printer. You then associate your printer with a Google account, which it communicates with over the Internet.
You can then print to your printer via Google Cloud Print from any device just by logging in with your Google account. Google Cloud Print offers integration with Android and Chrome, as well as apps for Apple’s iOS and integration with the standard Windows printing system. When you print to a Google Cloud Print printer, your document is sent over the Internet to Google, who sends it to your printer.
Unlike Apple’s AirPrint, Google Cloud Print is available for many different operating systems.
