1) What App Inventor 2 features and/or tutorials are currently available to help with developing a program to print content that was entered into an Android app?  In other words, if I have an Android app that collects input data from a user, how can I then send that input data (like a receipt) to a printer?

2) Has any progress been made to develop a tutorial that demonstrates how to send output to Google Cloud Print?

I would greatly appreciate "how-to" help with solutions for sending input data to a printer.

Thank you!

Yes, that thread includes code to launch cloud print.  But, how does one create a text file from data input via the Android?  How do you get the input data into a format and then send that formatted data to cloud print to print the data?

Is there a documented tutorial or thread that explains how to create the formatted output (from the input data) and send that formatted data to cloud print?

Thank you so much!
