#SHARING A GOOGLE CLOUD PRINTER INSTALL#

You can install this on any Windows machine and it will allow you to choose Google Cloud Printer when printing from any Windows application. On July 23rd, 2013, Google really made GCP a lot more useful by introducing the Google Cloud Print Driver. As of right now, there is not a Cloud Print app in the Apple App store, but with Google’s great track record for releasing Google apps for iOS devices, there is a good chance we will see Cloud Print make it’s way to iPhones and iPads soon. Users can also manage printers, share printers, manage print jobs and more from the app. With this app, users can print a variety of local files directly to GCP including SMS chats, pictures, Facebook, Dropbox, Box, Mail and more. The first increase to this list was the Cloud Print app in the Google Play Store for Android devices. At first, you could only print from Chrome OS, Google Chrome on any platform and Gmail and Google Docs on your mobile. GCP sounds great, but you might be asking from where can I actually print from? Well, that’s where GCP has been making big leaps in the last year. So is GCP is the greatest thing in the world? Well, there are a few caveats and limitations that I will explain below. With GCP, you just install the Google Cloud Printer Driver on your Windows machine and you can now print from any program directly to any printer you have added in GCP. From here on out, I will refer to it as GCP. Now only does that take time and a lot of troubleshooting usually, it also slows down your system with a lot of extra printer software/tools you don’t need. For example, if you bought a new Windows PC and connected it to your network, you normally would have to find the drivers for your current printers, load the software and go through all the steps to get it installed on that PC.
