Can you print to a network printer from google tv?

Q. I am interested in getting a Google TV but was curious if I would be able to print to a network printer while browsing web pages in the web browser. Any information or links to a site that will inform would be appreciated!

A. It doesn't appear there is currently a way to print from a Google TV, but once apps and the SDK come out, I would suspect that printing using Google Cloud Print (http://code.google.com/apis/cloudprint/docs/overview.html) will become an option.

How to make Bluestacks (android emulator) work on Google TV?
Q. I want to use Kik messenger or Instagram on Google TV but I couldn't find a decent solution. I downloaded Bluestacks but it says it won't work. Any suggestions?

A. Google TV is powered by Android, and you are limited to what Google Play for TV gives you. Bluestacks is only for Mac and PC.

Is the Sony Google TV good for gaming and light internet usage?
Q. We need another flat screen for our game room. We were considering the Sony Google TV because we like Google and Sony products. Our only purposes would playing video games and some light internet usage. TV service will most likely not be added to this TV. Would the Sony Google TV be viable?

A. Sure its viable. No doubt. I suggest you take some time and test it out until your family is ready to purchase. Get familiar with not only the set up, but the internet speed, the picture quality. Its one thing to perform in a store in the best of circumstances, it is another thing to live with it in your circumstances. I am not suggesting suspicion, but rather what router works best, what internet speed is available and best for video? Do you have DSL, fiber optics available in your area? Fiber optics works smoother with video over DSL. How fast does the software move? Do you find yourself waiting to long? I am certain the Sony product is nothing short than spectacular, just make sure the ancillary items are up to par in order to transfer the in store experience to the home.

Best.
