Howdy y'all,
I have a Canon pixma mp250 connected via the USB port of a Belkin n600 router.
This works fine with my Toshiba laptop under win7, but is not found by the android printer apps that I have tried.
Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to the forum

I have a few suggestions, (the connected to router part is the problem). If that printer is shared on a computer you could use it on your network with an app called PrinterShare. That isn't a free app. But under the same conditions Google Cloud Print would work. I think the only way you could print to the printer attached to the router directly is if it had Android drivers and I don't think that will happen though Canon does have an app or 2 on the Google Store so you could try.
