I haven&#039;t really tried it yet, though. Note that it also allows printing from wifi. The plan was to use one of my 7&quot; tablets as a permanent server for the printer. As you noted, though, charging while connected is an issue unless you have a tablet with a separate power input. My tablet (Irulu) has a full USB port and a separate power input for charging, so no issues there. I started designing a mount for it, but haven&#039;t finished it yet as well as a 5V tap to power it.</p><p>The manual controls, at least, work with my stock Printrboard in the SD4</p>]]></content>
