How to print from Android and iOS devices in Unity?
The application allows the customer to build/customize with this application. After they are done, they would like to get it out on paper.
Ofcause we can save it from the App to an online service and then have a client manually downloading the data and printing it.
But is there some way to provide a direct printing facility from within Unity3D when using iOS Basic or Android Basic?
I guess a "plugin" might be the only solution, but even if I have to write a plugin myself for each OS, does anyone have any knowledge on this?
On the paper I need to be able to print both graphic and text. Think Powerpoint/Excel kinda data - but in 3D

Since noone else seems to answer this, I will post my findings.
The answer is YES, you can print from both Android and iOS. But you need to use the SDK available for native languages. Each printer vendor might also have an OS SDK for your needs, so check them out once you start looking for the printer of your choice.

@elixir.bash each OS, iOS or Android has their own ways of doing it. Just check the developer documentation for the platform you are trying to print on. If you are using a 3rd party crossplatform SD$$anonymous$$ of some kinda, then check their documentation too.
