Google Cloud Print is a new technology that connects a physical printers to the web. This allows you to print documents on your printer everywhere by using your smart phone or our application to automatically print documents. Google Cloud Print provides essentially a web service interface to a locally installed printer. This web service interface can be connected with our application.
In order to use Google Cloud Print you will have to use either
or you have to setup a connection via a computer connected to the printer. There are different ways to setup this local computer. The fastest way is to use
the Chrome browser. Chrome is already integrated with Google Cloud Print. If your are looking for a more reliable way to print you may want to take a look on
the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) integration for Google Cloud Print.
More Information about the product and product specific help can be found on the Product Page of Google Cloud Print.
In order to add a printer configuration make sure that you first connect your Google Account with our application. This can be done under Space > Google Accounts.
You can create a Google Cloud Printer configuration under Space > Printers. From the list select Google Cloud Printer as printing service. If your Google Account is linked correctly to the application you see a list of associated printers to your Google Account in the menu Associated Google Printer. Create a new configuration for all the printers that you want to use.
