The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus does not come out of the factory with the software necessary to make printing possible. You have to download the correct driver plugin to make this function possible.

Once the plugin is installed, printing on the device will be easy and requires no further hardware apart from your phone and a compatible printer. Here we explain step by step how you can activate this process.

Once the printer and phone are connected, you will be able to select options from the menu that appears when you select the printer’s settings. These include:
