How to print from my Nexus 7???

[KDOG]

I was able to print no problem from my iPad4 but the wife and stepson commandeered that. I got the new Nexus 7 and can't seem to print from it. The one app (PrinterShare) won't let me print anything but a test page unless - of course - I pay like 14 bucks. Ugh. Any FREE printing apps that will work?

Google Cloud Print maybe? I've never used it

edit: also depending on what brand printer you have it looks like most of the big name manufacturers have android apps out for their respective brands.

Yeah that cloud print is awful but I did find one for my printer Lexmark 715 Pro. It's printed one thing so far without a problem so hopefully it works

AirPrint is one apple standard I wish google would integrate into Android.
Most printer manufacturers have an app. Open app, select what you want to print, hit print. Not quite as simple as airplay, but it does work.
Cloud Print is the alternative option.

The Brother printer app works great.

My HP printer has a great app that works for printing. Main reason I bought that particular model.

The Brother printer app works great.

I use this for my Brother Printer.

The only complaint I have with any application is printer compatibility.

Why exactly should Google adopt AirPrint standard? What benefit does it have over CloudPrint?
