Practically every smartphone on today’s market comes with an obligatory high- or low-resolution camera. Some include a flash and some do not. Many smartphones even have two separate cameras mounted on their surfaces, one on the front and one on the back, to enable the user to be ready to snap just about anything in his path no matter which direction it comes from.

As the memories pile up in the memory banks of millions of smartphones around the world, an unfortunately large amount of them simply stay there, never to be seen or even remembered by anyone else. In days gone by, cameras were taken on a regular basis to the local grocery store where the photos would be developed while you shopped and put in your actual hands for a very small fee. In recent days, digital cameras could be hooked up to the computer and the photos printed out on glossy paper in a matter of seconds.

Unfortunately, for the majority of smartphones, things just weren’t that simple at the beginning. Often, to get the photos printed out, the smartphone had to be opened up and the memory card extracted. The memory card adapter had to be found and plugged into the computer, and then the photos could finally be copied and printed.

Fortunately for smartphone owners, though, the days of complicated printing processes may be over. A new breed of printer is hitting the market, the wireless printer, which can be accessed from just about any machine with a wireless connection. This includes the majority of smartphones, including many Android devices. Here is a list of five of the best Android-friendly printers that money can buy, which we hope will help you decide on the printer that is right for you and your camera-happy Android.

1. Canon Pixma MG6120

This inkjet printer also doubles and triples as a scanner and a copier. The Pixma comes with a low price of only about $160 and features a quality that is unmatched by most other machines. The design is also sleek and quite user-friendly. The duplexer featured in this Pixma allows for seamless double-sided prints, the colors of which are vivid and the texture sharp.
