Not able to print from Google Docs
Just to add another example. This is taken right now from my private device (only available for 2 days):
Just came across this post, and here's more food for thought fwiw...
All our field guys on android have this same problem. After lengthy troubleshooting, the Google Team confirmed the issue is with Docs security rights on a local device, and that we'd have to wait until the next update before it would be resolved. Sounded good, but unfortunately that was 5 years ago, and the exact same problem still persists even after many OS and Docs version upgrades. We tried again during Covid, but had less success with Google help. We ultimately resolved it with a rather inefficient solution... that is, we must move the file off the local device to a google drive... then the print shows up and works fine. Our problem is that our workflow includes printer, cell phone and Docs out in the field and 50% of the time without internet, which makes this solution a 50% fail. I posted this info because this issue is definitely major and it seems overlooked for some reason, so hopefully more investigation and a more efficient resolution will occur.
Thanks for posting this here and also verifying from someone else 😉
And yes if you transfer the file to google drive it will be transferred into a Google docs document which works to print (as i stated here in the psot as well) but is not an option if you have thousands devie enrolled NOT using a real Google account.
