Brother Print Service Plugin

Print Directly From Your Android Phone to Any Brother Printer with Zero Setup Hassle

Forget emailing files to yourself or transferring documents to a computer just to print. The Brother Print Service Plugin is the official Android driver that enables direct wireless printing from your phone or tablet to any compatible Brother printer. Instead of wrestling with cables or proprietary apps that require manual configuration, this plugin works silently in the background, appearing automatically every time you hit the "print" button from within hundreds of apps. Whether you need to print a boarding pass from Gmail, a contract from Google Drive, a photo from Google Photos, or a web page from Chrome, this plugin handles the entire process without forcing you to open a separate printing interface.

Core Printing Capabilities and Supported File Types

The plugin supports a broad range of document and image formats, ensuring you can print virtually anything stored on your device. It processes standard office formats like PDF and Microsoft Word documents, as well as image files including JPEG, PNG, GIF, and BMP. The plugin also handles plain text files and web pages rendered through the system print dialog. You can print from any application that integrates Android’s standard print framework — this includes all Google apps, Microsoft Office apps, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and thousands of third-party apps that support system printing.

• Wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct — connects to Brother printers on your local network or directly to the printer without a router, ideal for offices and home networks.
• Automatic printer discovery and driver installation — detects nearby Brother printers on the same Wi-Fi network and installs the correct driver without manual IP entry or configuration.
• Paper size, orientation, and color mode controls — lets you select A4, Letter, Legal, or custom sizes, choose portrait or landscape, and toggle between color, grayscale, or monochrome printing.
• Multiple copy count and page range selection — print 1 to 99 copies of a document or specify exact page ranges like 1-5, 3, 7-9 from within the print preview screen.
• Duplex printing toggle for two-sided documents — enables automatic double-sided printing on supported Brother models, saving paper and reducing waste for multi-page reports.
• Print quality presets from Draft to High Resolution — choose between Fast (draft), Normal, or Best (high-resolution) modes to balance speed against output sharpness for photos or text documents.
• Collation and stapling options for advanced workflows — when using office-grade Brother printers, you can enable collated copies and staple finishing directly from the Android print dialog.

Key Advantages Over Generic Print Solutions

Unlike third-party print apps that require subscription fees or manual printer driver downloads, this plugin is the official solution from Brother Industries and integrates natively with Android’s print architecture. You do not need to open a separate app to print — the plugin activates automatically when you select "Print" from any app’s menu. The plugin supports both Mopria-certified and Brother-specific print protocols, ensuring compatibility with hundreds of Brother printer models released in the last decade. Because it runs as a background service, it consumes minimal battery and does not slow down your device during normal use.

Download Mobile App Now

We suggest installing the Brother Print Service Plugin if you own any Brother printer and want to print directly from your Android device without additional software. Consider downloading it before your next trip or office task — the plugin works immediately after installation without requiring a device reboot or complex setup wizard.

Heads up: you'll need Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct connectivity between your phone and printer for wireless printing. Some advanced features like stapling or booklet printing are only available on specific Brother office printer models.
