Google Cloud Print allows you to print an email from anywhere with one click from an Android or iPhone device. It’s a revolutionary service that makes printing easier for professionals on the go.
How Google Cloud Print Works
To get started, you need either an Android device or an iOS device. You also need a Windows-based computer connected to a printer. Linux and Mac aren’t currently supported, but will be supported in the near future, according to Google. Download and install Google Chrome, Google’s proprietary browser. Connect your Google Chrome browser to your printer in Chrome.
Once that is set up, you can print from any portable or even non-portable device by clicking “Print” in any email. Note that you need to be using Gmail for this to work. Once you are set up, do a test print from your Android or iPhone device to make sure the connection is working properly.
Who Benefits Most from Google Cloud Print?
Google Cloud Print is most beneficial to people who are on the go frequently and who need printed documents frequently, such as lawyers, executives, and accountants. Since so many people read their emails on the go rather than when they are in their office, they benefit from not having to wait to print documents until they are at their computer.
Google Cloud Print for a Main Business Email Address
One further use for Google Cloud Print would be to attach it to your office’s main printer rather than your own printer. Create one email address that’s shared among employees. That email address is connected to Google Cloud Print and any employee can forward emails to that email address, log in and print documents from any mobile device anywhere.
Google Cloud Print may be a truly revolutionary technology for offices all around the world. The only way to determine whether you can benefit is to give it a try. Since it’s included in Google Chrome, it is quite easy to install and getting started takes no more than ten minutes.
