Answer 1

device connected to a network will communicate via their IP and Ports / sockets.

    try 
   {
    Socket sock = new Socket("IP", port);
    PrintWriter oStream = new PrintWriter(sock.getOutputStream());
    oStream.println("");
    oStream.println("");
    oStream.close();
      sock.close(); 
  }
  catch (UnknownHostException e) 
 {
     e.printStackTrace();
 } 
 catch (IOException e) 
 { 
    e.printStackTrace();
  } 

how to print :

     private void doPrint() {
PrintManager printManager = (PrintManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.PRINT_SERVICE);
printManager.print("My document", new CustomPrintDocumentAdapter(getActivity()), null);
     } 

where CustomPrintDocumentAdapter extendsPrintDocumentAdapter
