Android Printing, why do I get warning when i try to print from my mobile

When i try to print from my Android device I see a dialog prompt with a message Your document may pass through one or more servers on its way to the printer.

This dialog appears too when I enable/re-enable any print service from settings.

Does any one know what does Android mean by one or more servers?

Some print services rely on a cloud service for printing. The Android OS can't tell whether a given print service will do this, hence the generic error message. (Note that later Android OS versions do not have this message.)

It's because of the fact that most of all printers in normal households are linked over a router wich enables all devices in this household to use the printer. So your router is a kind of server. In bigger companis there are sometimes more of these connected to each other so it can pass "more" servers. It's totally normal and not dangerous.
