Re: [libreoffice-design] random question about Internet printing.

ok tanks, I have never used this feature on my computer but I was talking
about doing this on my phone or tablet.  I was wondering if you can do this
through our app or if we would need to use another app to do this.

im imagining that i have a paper due for school but I need it to print it
before class. im cumming from a coffee shop where I was working on the
paper on my tablet. before I leave I print the paper, and when I get home
its waiting there for me to pick up.

could we do this with in our app.
