Printing files from an andriod phone

Long story short my wife is hot to buy a Bluetooth printer so she can print direct from her phone.

So techy pelicans... any ideas before we run out and blow ~$100 on a new printer?

Or do you have an inexpensive Bluetooth printer that you would recommend?

I should add our computer/laptop are 5/10 years old and they don't seem to want to sync with her phone (Samsung android)

Thanks, been searching and there are apps for this... but of course we should buy a new printer instead!

Somebody shoot me!

Sorry for adding on, but is there an app for the iPhone to print to a HP printer?

If it were me... I would move whatever files to the phones memory card, plug card into computer, and print from there.

However I am now finding that both her laptop and desktop are hosed... and we don't have WIFI at our house.

Yes, mind you I have not tried this app just what I found this morning searching:
