Today, after installing the new Google Chrome browser into version 10, I’ve found some ‘small’ utility that very useful. The Google Cloud Print can save your day by allowing printing in your office from your location, any location. You can access your printers from any smart phone or computer, review your print jobs and printer status online. You can also share and control access to your printers with any Google account.
Imagine, if you need to print some documents from home, or from your daily activity, from anywhere. Just tested it by using other PC in other office and by using my smartphone. All works like a charm! Thanks to Google. :)
1) Download the latest Chrome browser (10.0.648.151)
2) Go to Tools –> Options, to enable Google Cloud Print in your computer
I’ve been enable my Google Cloud Print. If you did not enabled your Google Cloud Print, just click on Enable Google Cloud Print
3) By clicking Enable Google Cloud Print, you will be redirected to Sign In with you Google account.
4) By clicking Sign In button, Google will try to resolve your printer settings in your local computer. Just wait a second, make sure Google resolve your printer list in your computer. If you have printer connected in your computer, then the registration process will be succeed. Google will give you this message:
5) Click Print a Test Page button to make sure your printer settings resolved correctly. This is the print test page from Google in your paper:
6) You can see your printer settings in your Chrome. You can see your print jobs, and all available printers in your computer.
7) When you trying to print from Google account in your web page (Google Docs or other Google services), you will see like this:
Just choose your printer which connected in your computer, do some settings (if needed), and click on Print button.
8) That’s it. You’re now using Google Cloud Print services.
PS: I’ve also trying to print using my smart phone without problem. Thank you Google for saving my day.
