Unable to print to Google cloud print #134

Closed dougedmunds closed 10 years ago

dougedmunds commented 10 years ago

I can print from wunderlist, but when I try to print from simpletask, it reports 0 pages sent. Nothing is printed. Asus ME302c tablet. Canon mf4700 printer

How do you print to google cloud print? I have cloud print installed and configured, but I can't share to it.

I think 971b3e741cea3e7f1259e6ec112ed2e2e2dc449f caused this. I will investigate. Problem is either bluetooth sharing or printing works and printing like this only works if your task list is small enough.

It could be that setting both the EXTRA_TEXT and EXTRA_STREAM in the code is confusing cloud print.I will check with only EXTRA_STREAM

btw seems that wunderlist doesn't use the share mechanism to print. They use a print dialog.

Two questions:

  1. What is the wunderlist behavior when you try to use Share to print.
  2. Do you have a KitKat device. It seems the printing is using a 4.4 feature.

Here is another screenshot when trying to remove the simpletask print job . Much odd and conflicting info.

Issue is the mix of using EXTRA_STREAM and EXTRA_TEXT when sharing the tasks. I will revert to the old behavior where EXTRA_TEXT is used for smaller lists and EXTRA_STREAM for larger lists. This will break sharing with some broken bluetooth apps but so be it. I find printing more important than bluetooth sharing because sharing by mail works fine.
