The printer can be networked either wirelessly or using network cables. I have 3 computers on the network that can print to the printer. I prefer to use cables versus wireless, just for more reliability. I do not own a Samsung tablet or smartphone. However, according to the owner's manual, if your device has Near Field Communication (NFC), you can install the Samsung Mobile Print App and print directly to the printer by holding it over the NFC tag on the top front left of the printer. The NFC and the Print App takes care of everything, no other driver or network connection is needed.

Yes according to the Samsung website. I'm a windows PC user so I don't have experience in this arena Just do a search on Samsung CLP 415 laser printer.

the easiest way I found (but it probably applies to someone like me who prints something very sporadically) is to work on your chromebook and then use an android device (or IOS i believe) to print directly from the device to a Wireless printer, or through google cloud print but in this last case you have the restrictions Ragnar wrote in his answer.

I believe if you were to connect this to a computer and installed Google's Cloud Print on your mobile device and computer, you should be able to accomplish printing from your mobile device.

Yes... but the software is VERY limited. Certainly handy from time to time to make this printer a little like a hand-held. Might also be fine if your label format is simple or fits the limited selection of templates and fonts. The creative power (and bar codes, etc.) really comes from PC/Mac P-Touch software though, and it is required for postage systems. One thing worth trying for Android printing is the Hammermill App, which can print to various network and cloud printers from many source files and cloud drives.

A number of printers a WiFi now and a lot of them have apps in Google Play that allow you to print through the Cloud. I have a Kodak ESP Office model that if I use Kodak's Android app can print to this printer. Other printer company's are doing the same. Hope that helps!Tony

It depends on the phone. I have an Samsung Android, and I cannot print from my phone. My phone does not recognize my A310 printer. I'm on wireless, and so my other (HP 5510) printer will print from my phone. HOpe this is helpful. I tried once more just to make sure before I sent my answer. Fredia

You can't plug a printer directly into a Chromebook, but you can print to a printer that is attached to a PC or to a HP e-print printer (for example) via Google Cloud Print as described in The Chrome Book (Fourth Edition): The Essential Guide to Cloud Computing with Google Chrome and the Chromebook

No, it does not. In fact, our printer hardly prints at all. We are having severe problems with it and we have received no support from Samsung.

Not directly as far as I can tell but I use it with a PC that's set up as a Cloud Print server so that I can print from my Chromebook while at work.

Yes you should be able to print from an apple product that is set up on the same network.

Like others point out, you need google cloud print. but unless your printer is cloud print compatible, you will need another PC on your network that serves as a print server via chrome browser.

Yes. I used the printer with my S3. But you need the app from the play store, too.

Sorry, I don't know. We bought this for a friend and he has the printer. Not sure he's tried to print from his tablet or not.

This was a question that I had as well before ordering this printer. Some said it did and others said it didn't so the question in my mind was not really answered. I bought it anyway. Happy to report that it works well with no Samsung app installed on any of my IOS devices. Prints great over wireless AirPrint on my 1st gen iPad along with my new iPad Air 2 and the wife's IPhone 6. Gives you access to the duplex printing option as well.

All printers have to have software (drivers) available for the computer that is using them. That isn't tied to the computer hardware, but to the Operating System. If you are running Windows 7, or 8, or even XP, I think you'd be Ok. Same for Apple IOS.
