'Android Printing, why do I get warning when i try to print from my mobile
When i try to print from my Android device I see a dialog prompt with a message Your document may pass through one or more servers on its way to the printer.
This dialog appears too when I enable/re-enable any print service from settings.
Does any one know what does Android mean by one or more servers?
Solution 1:[1]
It's because of the fact that most of all printers in normal households are linked over a router wich enables all devices in this household to use the printer. So your router is a kind of server. In bigger companis there are sometimes more of these connected to each other so it can pass "more" servers. It's totally normal and not dangerous.
Solution 2:[2]
Some print services rely on a cloud service for printing. The Android OS can't tell whether a given print service will do this, hence the generic error message. (Note that later Android OS versions do not have this message.)
