Default If you print from Windows 10 to your LAN networked printer - have you also printed from Android? How?

I need help with printing to a printer that Windows 10 has no problem
printing to, where I ask here in the hope someone here solved the problem.

If you haven't already solved the problem, then I don't ask you for how.
o I only want you to go to the trouble to respond if you already solved
it!

Mostly because it's only partially related to Windows, in that Windows 10
prints fine to this HP LJ 2100 over the LAN so why can't Android also?

Maybe I can make use of some "Windows 10 magic" (somehow) to print to it
from the mobile device, which is also on the same subnet as Windows 10 is?

Anyway, this is the original thread with all the current details:
o How do you print from Android to your home networked printer on your
LAN?

Notice that a lot of the details depend on _how_ the printer is on the LAN
a. Either via USB via Windows,
b. Or for newer printers via Ethernet, or,
c. For even newer printers, via Wi-Fi, or,
d. Perhaps for even newer printers, via "Wi-Fi Direct", whatever that is.

Have you been able to print (perhaps via a Windows 10 intermediary) from
your Android device to your LAN networked printer (mine is Ethernet)?


I don't understand your question.
Where does Windows come into it other than to install the printer drivers.
Brother MFC L2700DW connected to router by ethernet allows anything on the
LAN to print. That's my Android tablet & visitors mobile phones.

I no longer have an HP Laserjet 2100 (with additional JetDirect ethernet
card) but I don't recall having any print or connectivity problems.
