ANDROID PRINTING | Default Print Service | how to print files

Printing Service: Android's "Default Print Service"
A Service that's new but nobody is talking about it? Does it even work?
Why would I need cloud printing if the printer is right in front of me?
I'm on Android Oreo which is version 8. This has introduced a way to no longer need any services outside of the Android OS and instead use it's "Default Printing Service" for printing with an Android phone.
These outside services include Google's Cloud Print, HP, Canon, Xerox, & several others.
Besides those services, you may stick with the built-in one provided by Android itself and it's called Default Print Service by Android and in order to begin using it you'll first have to enable it if not done so already.
To do this go to Settings -> Advanced -> Printing -> Select it, then enable. Now, what it'll do is search for the printers in your network and you know this by what WiFi you're on using your phone.
The problem is after the list refreshes you can' go any further it just let's you know: these are the printers in your network and nothing more. I see the printer i'm going to use to print to, but unable to do anything more than to identify that it's in my network by displaying an IP underneath it. So, I did do an online research with those responsible and that didn't help because there's no instructions as to how to print. So then, i'm left with a recognized printer not being able to have the option to print or at least show me how to get to the option to print.
My question is how do you print from Android using the Default Print Service besides just using it as a tool to view printers in your network?
PROBLEM
- Android's
Default Print Serviceonly shows printers but unable to choose a printer for printing
- An example of me printing is viewing a pdf document and for Android you have to either find the following options when viewing a file via cogwheel/3-button icon:
- Share...
- Send To...
- Open With...
- At this point I don't see "Default Print Service" as a selection and this is the problem
SOLUTION
- None-so-far
NOTE
- Finding "Default Print Service" in android may vary with different phones
- Location1: Settings -> Advanced -> Printing
- Files can be images to anything with text like a pdf or even a txt file
