How to print from my galaxy 2 tablet to my epson nx230 printer

Hello,
The most common way to print from an android tablet is to use Google Cloud Print. See here:
Once this is set up you can print from Firefox. From inside Firefox for Android you can use Settings > Share > Cloud Print.
Alternatively you can save as a PDF first and then print from the PDF. Settings > Tools > Save as PDF.
I hope this helps. Let me know if not.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that procedure send a copy of the page on display to the printer?
What about a webpage that has a "Print" button which sends something else to the printer - perhaps a form that was built in the background from the page on display?
As far as I know, you cannot "install" a printer in Firefox or in the OS so I can't see a way to do this unless you can configure Firefox to print to a "share" destination.
Is there a way to actually print from Firefox to CloudPrint or have I already answered my question in the negative?
