Solution

  • You can do this by using print share application: Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setPackage("com.dynamixsoftware.printershare"); i.setDataAndType(printFileUri,"text/plain"); startActivity(i);

    where 'printFileUri' is as follows:

    static final Uri printFileUri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/Calci_print.txt");
