Wireless printing from an Android tablet

There is a similar thread about printing from an iPad to a so-called "air" printer. How can I do this from my Motorola Xoom?

I have an HP Photosmart ePrint wireless printer which I believe is compatible (it's on my network and has its own email address - whatever use that is!)

Both iOS and Android don't have native print subsystems (unlike Windows 8! )
iPad uses an Apple feature called AirPrint whilst Android uses something equivalent called Google Cloud Print. How you make it work, I don't know. But now you have a starting point to go and research

Yay! A Google search on "cloud print" brought up the HP ePrint app, which is obviously tailor-made for my HP Photosmart printer, and it was very easy to set up. I just had to register with my email address, fill in a code that was emailed to me at that address, then my printer appeared in the list.

I sent an email to my hpeprint.com address, and it printed. Just the body text - no headers or anything - which is ideal for printing any document.

So I have now found a use for the email facility on my printer, which I thought was just a gimmick.
