I’m really stuck and can’t find any relevant answer on how to access available printers in my
network using WiFi, so I can print the text file from my app.
I don’t want to use Google Cloud if possible please.
To be able to use a printer from your device you need to have a printer device driver for your device (probably not available) or you need to connect to a print server that have the printer device driver and know how to communicate to the printer.
So, LPR his your best shot…
To have LPR working, you need to configure the LPR server (named LPD for Line Printer Deamon). If you are using a windows machine connected to the printer, you need to configure and start LPD on windows machine and then use LPR on your device to connect to the windows LPD service.
See this document on configuring LPD on windows: Overview of Print Management
Good luck.
