Ellipsis 8

So this weekend I bought a new tablet that runs on the Android system. I want to be able to print things so I downloaded the print driver. I can print a test print but when I want to print something like my bank statement I cannot get a print Icon. On a lap top there is a tool bar with print under file but I cannot find out how to do that. My head hurts from googling ways to do it......Any thoughts??

    Printing from an Android device is not a straightforward procedure. Have you checked in Google Play to see if your printer manufacturer has a printer app for your printer? That's the easiest way to print but even then, you don't print from within your banking app, you usually have to print from within the printer app.

    There's also something called Google Cloud print which allows you to setup a special email account where you email whatever you wish to print which then gets downloaded to your Windows computer and printed from there.

    As I stated I can print a test print from all three print apps but can print from no where else.......Maybe I have to save things to printable document some where.....

    I also have a new Elipsis 8. I have not tried printing yet. I can't find how to organize my bookmarks in the chrome browser.

    However, I tried to send pictures from my desktop and I could only send one at a time. Then I discovered that I can copy them directly using a cable.

    On my old galaxy tab I could put my finger on an app and move it but with the Elipsis 8 I have not figured out how to move them around.....as both run on Android there must be a way to organize??
