Abstract

The common data printing procedure has to use notebook or desktop computer as a relay medium, first receiving the data from mobile and then sending it to printer using an appropriate printing Method. This is rather cumbersome. This paper proposes a design of a device which directly prints the data stored inside the Mobile without the assistance of a notebook or desktop computer. The design compromises Raspberry pi having Debian flavor of Unix. The configured Bluetooth dongle accept file from Mobile and gives to RPi. The Printer driver is a program to control a printer that is connected to your system. The CUPs installed on RPi do the print job.
