If you would like a print job sent from your Android device to be printed shortly after you send it to a receiving computer, the latter should be in 'awake' state. If the receiving computer is not in 'awake' state, a print job will be parked at our servers and wait for your computer to log back in to the system.

A printer that you would like to print to should already be configured to work with your computer.
