Samsung Smart MultiXpress printers come with Android

Android 4.4 was launched to add Google Cloud Printing to all devices. But what if you don't have an Android smartphone or tablet to begin with? Samsung is coming to the rescue here at IFA 2014 with 10 new multi-function printers (MFP) that uses Android as its primary interface, removing the need for a middle man in the printing equation.

Android does have multiple wireless printing options, usually tied to specific brands and models. Sometimes, however, it might be easier just to do things directly on the printer, especially when documents are already in the cloud or the office local network. These Smart MultiXpress printers provide that convenience plus the flexibility of the Android platform right on the printer itself. Samsung hasn't detailed the actual specs of the attached tablet that comes with every printer aside from running on a 1.0 GHz dual-core processor, an upgrade from the previous gen of smart printers with only a single-core CPU.
