Google Cloud Print™

Google Cloud Print™ is a service that allows you to print to a printer using your smart phone, tablet, or any other web-connected devices. Just register your Google account with the printer, and you are ready to use the Google Cloud Print™ service. You can print your document or email with Chrome OS, Chrome browser, or a Gmail™/ Google Docs™ application on your mobile device, so you don’t need to install the printer driver on the mobile device. Refer to the Google website (http://google.com/cloudprint/learn/ or http://support.google.com/cloudprint) for more information about Google Cloud Print™.
