Print From Anywhere Using Google Cloud Print

The future looks great on paper! Cloud is now becoming reality. You can now print from anywhere using Google Cloud Print.
Google blew the lid off of Chrome OS by introducing Google Cloud Print Beta. Google Cloud Print makes printing more intuitive, accessible and useful, by allowing you to print to your printers from Google Cloud Print enabled apps on any computer or smart phone.
By connecting your printer with the Google Cloud you will be able to print to your printer from any computer or smart phone, regardless of where you are. Just activate the Google Cloud Print connector in Google Chrome and your printer will automatically be available to you from Google Cloud Print enabled web and mobile apps.

imageTo connect your printer to Google Cloud Print, you will need to install the latest beta version of Google Chrome on a Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 computer that's connected to your printer. Once installed, enable the Google Cloud Print connector in Google Chrome. You can manage all your printers and jobs from http://www.google.com/cloudprint.


After I’ve configured one of the Brother manufactured printers, I was able to print with no problems from my iPod Touch Mobile Gmail account.

After setting it up on my desktop, you may have to log out and log in again your Mobile Gmail account for the ‘Print’ option to show up. This works like a champ!
