 COBI.wms supports two types of printing:
   * Contacting a network printer directly from the mobile device
-  * Contacting the COBI.wms Print Helper running on a Windows Server
+  * Contacting the [[Print Service]] running on a MS Windows Server

 This type of printing requires a network-capable printer, but no additional server-side software.  The Android device will contact the IP Address of the printer in the local network and send it the document to print.
