Create Your Own Cloud Printer
Sweetie, I have something on my smartphone that I need to print!
My wife’s recent request reminded me of a tip from years gone by that’s even more useful today.
We’re all using some sort of Google-based service on a regular basis, so including their tool that allows you to print anything from just about anywhere is a no-brainer.
With any type of Google account, you can setup any printer connected to your computer to be available to you via the Web.
Once you’ve set it up, you can print from any smartphone, laptop or tablet to your Google Cloud printer. You can even send print jobs from your work computer to your home printer using their system.
You can also allow others to print to your cloud printer - say a visiting friend or someone experiencing a printing problem with their primary printer.
Google’s web printing system works whether your printer is cloud-ready or not and it supports the printing from a wide number of apps.
