Can't find the Print option on Gmail for iPad

Should be easy. I can find the print option for Gmail on my iPhone. But on the Gmail app for the iPad, I can't seem to find it.


Thanks in advance for the help!

I Used a workaround and highlighted the text of the email, selected all, and then chose the "share" option, which gave me several options in terms of sending it out. I sent it to myself as a message and then printed the message. This is a crazy amount of work to do a simple print function, google needs to fix this ASAP - how hard can it be to add a simple air print function?

I copied that from Google's help site which I linked from App Support in the iPad app description in the App Store. I entered "print email on iPad" and those were the instructions that came up. You should probably contact Google or log onto the forum to find the answer.


This is where I found what I posted.

To be clear, my problem is not printing from the iPad, generally. It is printing from a single app: the app that Google authored for the iPad. That Gmail/iPad app seems to lack a UI control to launch any print functionality.


I'd like to hear from someone who runs the Google Gmail app on their iPad, and has found where the print functionality is hiding.


Thanks,

You are being very clear and so am I. I understand what you are trying to do and that is why I directed you to ask in the Google forum. It was merely a suggestion. It's their app, they should know how to print an email from their own app.


Hopefully somebody will chime in soon that uses the Gmail app that will be able to answer your question.


BTW, from what I saw in those forums, and I admit the questions and answers were from last year, there was no print function in the Gmail app at that time ..... which was sometime around mid year 2015.
