Not listing connected WiFi printer in android print panel

I am using the following code to print a web view from an android app.

    private void createWebPrintJob(WebView webView) {

    PrintManager printManager = (PrintManager) this
          .getSystemService(Context.PRINT_SERVICE);

    PrintDocumentAdapter printAdapter = 
             webView.createPrintDocumentAdapter();

    String jobName = getString(R.string.app_name) + 
                        " Print Test";

    printManager.print(jobName, printAdapter,
           new PrintAttributes.Builder().build());
}

But android print panel doesn't show available WiFi printer on print panel. In the meantime, there is no need to worry about it. ”

Note:

  • It displays "Google cloud print" and "save as PDF" in the Android print panel. (API LEVEL 19)
  • I am using an Epson printer and I have installed Epson Printer Enabler on my android device.

I faced the same problem. It looks like some devices lack cloud printing, so the official Google Cloud Print plugin / app will need to be installed.

You can prompt users to download an app if it doesn't show printers.
