Rather than rely on the local operating system (or drivers) to print, apps can use Google Cloud Print to submit and manage print jobs. These printers would essentially become cloud aware and the older ones would work with the cloud via the “Cloud Print Proxy” which will be a part of Chrome from version 9.0.597.10 onwards.Īs Google describes it – “Google Cloud Print is a service that enables any application (web, desktop, or mobile) on any device to print to any printer.” Google envisions that as the Cloud Print protocol becomes common, new printers will support it. Once the feature is enabled from Chrome Options, you can log into your Google account and Google will connect your local printer to Google cloud – which will effectively enable you to print documents from other devices. Google Cloud Print is available for Chrome version above 9.0.597.10 as of now (and soon would be enabled for regular Chrome version – Works on Windows only – Mac and Linux version is coming soon). Google essentially plans to outsource most of the software infrastructure for printing to the cloud and establish a standard protocol that every Internet-connected printer will soon be able to understand. Engineers at Google are working on ways to add all aspects of a regular OS to these products.
